Lake Cavanaugh Residence Addition

This sum­mer home along the shore of Lake Ca­vanaugh was orig­i­nally de­signed by Henry Klein/​HKP in the early 1990’s. A small stream di­vides the site di­ag­o­nally and the house is raised on posts to keep it above sea­sonal flood­ing of the lake and stream.

The cur­rent own­ers of the home hired HKP to de­sign an 800 square foot ad­di­tion to the orig­i­nal home along with renovations and repairs that would bring the home up-to-date with finishes complimentary to the original design.  The new ad­di­tion in­cludes a large liv­ing space with a bath­room, study, ad­di­tional sleep­ing space, ex­te­rior pa­tio space, and a loft.

The time­less na­ture of the orig­i­nal de­sign lent it­self to an ad­di­tion that looks as through it al­ways ex­isted, as well as the en­tire pro­ject look­ing as though it was all built as one pro­ject to­day.

Winner, Merit Award, 2020 AIA Northwest

“What we were impressed by is the way in which the three cabins, blending with the landscape, actually form a very iconic northwest scene.  Plus, as this home now serves as a full time residence with aging in place a consideration, the walkways provide level access to all living spaces and a sloped walk to a redesigned entry allows for mobility access.  And, as a thoughtful consideration, trees that were cut became nurse logs in the landscape.”
