BLUE RIDGE RESIDENCE
Seattle, Washington ByMotionspace Architecture

Within the small community of Blue Ridge are many mid-century brick homes in need of updating. This largely untouched home on a large corner lot in Blue Ridge was in dire need of interior and exterior renovation. On the exterior, new fir windows and doors, a stucco exterior, and a new roof freshen the already clean lines of the home. The interior lacked a full master suite and suffered from a lower level accessed down a narrow dark stairway. Without adding square footage, the main level plan was reorganized by switching the location of the master bedroom and the living room. This allowed space for a master bathroom and closet area. The old master bedroom location turned into the living room and a wall was removed to open the stairway to this room. A natural fir ‘feature wall’ visually connects the lower and upper level together. New fir cabinetry, and ceiling treatments lend a warm sophisticated feeling to the interiors. The kitchen was ‘lightly’ remodeled by painting the existing cabinets and replacing the floor, countertops and appliances

Originally this 1130 square foot condominium had one bedroom plus a den, and 1 1/2 baths. Through a smart rearranging of spaces, the unit was transformed into a two bedroom and a den with 1 3/4 baths. The design began with the idea of moving the kitchen into the overly large living space and turning the old kitchen into a walk-in closet and small den/computer area. Circulation to the master bedroom was rerouted and the old hallway space was given back to the two small bathrooms. This allowed for an additional shower and a linen closet to be added
