Additions
1970s Neo-Tudor
|
|
The objective of this renovation was to meet the family's need for increased living space and to modernize the home. Syverson Monteyne Architects redesigned
the home, creating an addition for the east side. This addition contained a new family entrance, walk-in closet, powder room, hexagonal sunroom and a 3 1/2 car garage. The existing garage was changed into a new sunken family room. The original family room, side entrance and powder room became the new kitchen/eating area. The existing kitchen became the new dining room, and the previous dining room, a new music room. It was Sakiyama Construction's challenge to solve the structural implications of the addition and floor plan changes. |
Exterior elevations of the north and east sides of the home were drastically changed. These included the garage, sunroom, and side entry additions. There were changes in rooflines, windows, retaining walls, brickwork, colored stucco, driveways and landscaping. The new 3 1/2 car garage was built on grade beam and piles and featured a structural concrete slab floor.
A new hexagonal shaped 4 season sunroom plus two cedar decks were built in the rear yard. Existing rear house elevation was modified to match the new addition. |

The original family room with full masonry fireplace pictured at left was removed and reconfigured into a new kitchen eating area (above).
Note the archway to the right of the eating area leading into the new addition. |

The former side entrance with its powder room pictured above was eliminated. The new kitchen with custom maple cabinets, granite surfaced island and stunning ceramic tile details occupied that area after renovation.
All interior design was provided by Michelle Weibe of W Design Group and cabinetry by Legacy Cabinets.
|
The majority of the main floor interior was gutted. New plumbing, electrical and heating systems were installed including 2 high efficiency furnaces. Structural details such as the main
beam pictured above the island bulkhead (above) were part of the engineering changes required. As part of this major renovation, the former attached garage was converted into a family room visible at the end of the kitchen (right) . |

The former garage door openings (upper left) were modified and became two new window openings. The wall that separated the side entrance from the garage was removed and resupported (lower left) to become part of the new opening to the family room, pictured above as a half wall. The old concrete floor was insulated and reframed. The new family room featured hardwood flooring and slate finished fireplace. |
The area formerly occupied by kitchen and dining room was gutted and converted into a dining room and music area. Railings, cabinetry and walls pictured above left, were removed. |
|
 |
 |
|
The majority of the previous traditionally styled millwork such as the stairs and railing above, were removed. The new stairs (left) were contemporary and open, featuring glass and oak railings. |
The walls between the staircase and former kitchen were removed to create a more open, bright and spacious floor plan (above left). Old carpet covered floors were replaced with new engineered hardwood. Old lighting was replaced by pot lighting and new fixtures (above left and right). All trimwork was replaced and all walls were patched and repainted.
