Space Needle View
On the south slope of Queen Anne, this site has a panoramic view of Elliott Bay, downtown Seattle, and the Space Needle, but they were not visible from the existing 1960’s house. Adding a third floor took advantage of the views and made space for a new living room, kitchen, and a pool table. Over-sized glass doors open onto a cantilevered deck. The second floor features a master suite, library, and poker playing area. The completely renovated 2,800 SF house includes a residential-sized elevator to ease getting groceries up to the third-floor kitchen and plan for aging-in-place. To address the client’s chemical sensitivities, only low-emitting paints, adhesives, and composite materials were selected.
