Skagit Bay Residence

From the newly relocated dining area, looking north

The house is a two-story res­i­dence with views of Sk­agit Bay. The pro­ject reimag­ines the upper level to trans­form the pre­vi­ously di­vided spaces into a large open kitchen and din­ing area. An ad­di­tion to the east side of the house creates space for the re­lo­cated and ex­panded laundry room and library, as well as an ex­ten­sion of the ren­o­vated bath­room, all overlooking the ma­ture land­scap­ing around a lower pa­tio. The entire upper level is designed for the owners to age in place, and the lower level contains an office, guest bedroom, garage and workshop.

The pro­ject also in­cludes new hard­wood floor­ing through­out and a new deck ex­ten­sion on the west side, im­prov­ing the con­nec­tion be­tween in­door and out­door en­vi­ron­ments. Con­tin­u­ous min­eral wool in­su­la­tion board on the ex­te­rior of the ad­di­tion, elec­tric ra­di­ant floor heat­ing, and en­ergy ef­fi­cient win­dows will help keep the in­door en­vi­ron­ment of the ad­di­tion com­fort­able.
