Seattle Outdoor Space Remodel - Shop Remodel Seattle

garage & shop


The owners of this Capitol Hill home had their priorities in order: create a potting room to fuel their expansive garden, build a shop for projects, and a small carport to shelter their vehicle. The result is a Japanese-inspired cedar building that compliments their garden instead of detracting from it. A rain chain and barrel helps with irrigation, light-transmitting panels in the roof illuminate it, and Shoji doors conceal the potting area. Completed 2008.

Architect: Sharon Davidoff
