This small addition to a small (800 sf) 1913 craftsman bungalow located in the Tangletown neighborhood of Seattle is treated both formally and spatially as an architectural extrusion of the original home. The addition provides additional flexible living space for a couple and their large dog, a much-needed second bathroom for their frequent guests, and a small home office space. Referencing the arched openings inside the existing craftsman home, a new arched opening serves as a threshold that connects the existing living/dining/kitchen space with the new flexible living space. A gradual stair descends down to the new living space, allowing for a direct connection to a new covered deck and their garden. A series of skylights are scattered throughout the new addition, with scooped openings that continue the theme of the arch throughout.
Through efficient planning, a constantly changing section, an economical material palette, and natural light, the telescope addition emphasizes design and experience over size, establishing new connections to garden and sky. Undertaken by the Owners following the pandemic, the addition responds directly and sensitively to the original craftsman bungalow, while transforming it into a house for contemporary living. In lieu of demolition, the project exemplifies the growing movement towards smaller and more efficient urban living through the respectful reuse and expansion of existing housing stock.
