Text description provided by architect.
This residence for a couple and their two children utilizes the foundations and walls of an existing single-story post-war bungalow.
The traditional placement of private spaces above public spaces is inverted, with bedrooms and bathrooms placed at the main floor level, while a new second story places the kitchen, living and dining spaces into one large communal room with views overlooking Cascade mountain range.
A large operable skylight marks the center of the room.
