This 1500sf remodel and 1500sf addition were designed to complement a 1968 house originally designed by a locally acclaimed mid-century modernist. Recognizing the historicism of the original Japanese-inspired design and being familiar with the original architect’s prolific work, which included an A frame
five houses away, the new design marries opposing impulses by adding a vertical, reinterpreted A-frame to the horizontal, low-slung format of the original house. Weaving vertical wood and large timber details throughout enabled the design to reflect its original Japanese-inspired roots while also capturing the low-tech design style of the original house. The A-frame opens up at the roof to incorporate a roof deck with city views, and the vertical wood shading device at its ends mitigates the harsh morning and afternoon sun.
Continuous epoxy-pebble flooring blurs the line between inside and out, and a bright orange plastic laminate countertop reinterprets the notion of materiality from the home’s original era. Western Red Cedar was selected for its quality, its appearance and its color. Having a very slight reddish hue was the richness we wanted in order for the house to have the right overall spirit recalling mid-century housing. We also needed something rot and insect resistant and a wood that would age beautifully so it would require less maintenance.
Knotty Cedar was chosen for its informal character and for its value. The very casual design for the house and its new addition and the modest scale of the house did not invite perfect wood features, but rather approachable finishes.The wood is remarkably rich in spite of its imperfect appearance and
knottiness. It remains elegant, but very relaxed.
