Mid-Century Home Renovated and Remodeled in Seattle
Designed by Ibsen Nelsen in 1961, the layout of this mid-century home was very well considered but the character and flow between spaces wasn’t a good fit for the daily patterns of the new owners.
Designed by Ibsen Nelsen in 1961, the layout of this mid-century home was very well considered but the character and flow between spaces wasn’t a good fit for the daily patterns of the new owners.
Original architect William Krisel designed the block home in 1963 for a builder friend, creating a U-shaped plan that wraps around a backyard lawn and pool, allowing all rooms to have access to the outdoors and views of the landscape.
The layout was configured as an open, airy twenty by fifty foot by ten foot tall primary living space on the parlor floor lined on one side by a full-length bookshelf, art wall, and cat circulation and lounge space. This is a stunning light-filled home renovation project in Brooklyn.
The materialization is answering the desire to recover and/or emphasize the original condition of the traditional style house. A piece of natural terracotta is placed on a running board as the pavement and the walls are stripped to expose the original factory work with all its defects and textures.
