Design Ranch-Style House/ This Northwest Contemporary home had seen a lifetime of remodeling and deserved a holistic sqa to honor its original spirit and make it suitable for contemporary living.

Expressed aggregate concrete tiles serve as the main interior flooring, borrowing the appearance of the new exposed aggregate concrete pavers that provide the walking surfaces through the yardscape. These paths and steps gently engage with the new natural landscaping, gradually connecting the home to a series of private outdoor spaces around the property.

Large sliding doors open up the new kitchen to an expansive deck offering views of natural plantings and a lower fire pit patio. These outdoor living spaces carefully extend their way through the yard among mature trees and are further established by concrete walls to provide necessary structure and privacy.
