Brief: The clients aimed to modernize their 1935 single-level bungalow while navigating regulatory constraints within a flood zone. Unable to expand the footprint, a pragmatic solution emerged: a second-floor addition, cantilevering from the original foundation.

Ground-level enhancements prioritized functionality, with the primary bedroom now featuring a new primary bathroom. Modern living ideals guided the reconfiguration, seamlessly integrating kitchen, dining, and living areas for enhanced connectivity. Upstairs, ample natural light floods the space through generously sized windows, offering scenic views of Mt. Si. Three spacious bedrooms, a versatile recreation area, and a dedicated media room ensure ample accommodation and entertainment options. The incorporation of a single sloped roof and vertical wood siding in the design not only complements the original structure and surrounding environment but also embodies the clients’ vision for a contemporary yet personalized living space.

This integration reflects their desire for a home that meets both their functional needs and aesthetic sensibilities, creating a residence that feels uniquely theirs and fulfills their dream of a forever home celebrating the Cascades.
