Seattle Dormer Addition - master suite remodel Seattle

second-story addition & bump-out

It was a classic Craftsman with classic problems: a previous addition at the rear of the home left it lopsided and diminished its grace. The brilliance of this addition and remodel is that it restores symmetry by adding a second dormer and bringing out the gable end by several feet. At the same time, it creates much-needed functional space at the main level in the form of a powder bath and laundry, and a spacious new master suite at the second floor. Completed 2008.

Architect: Nazim Nice of Motionspace Architecture + Design

The star of this project is the bathroom, with furniture-style custom cabinetry

The small space is maximized by using mirrors, windows and a frameless glass shower enclosure

Oil-rubbed bronze finish on the hardware throughout brings each area of the remodel together

It's a doorway now, but it used to be a window. The laundry/powder room addition is just beyond
