Vashon Island Residence
Vashon, Washington
This property on Vashon Island has been in our client’s family for multiple generations, with 3 separate houses spread out across the land and views to the east toward the Puget Sound, Seattle and the Cascade mountain range beyond. The existing house that our clients lived in was a 1970’s era pre-fabricated home that had become too small for their living and entertaining needs.
The design adds a 460sf new open living space with a new and much larger kitchen, and a living room that opens onto a new view terrace. The new living space features exposed wood beams, steel collar ties, a ridge skylight that brings in ample daylight to the space, and large windows and slider doors that can allow the spaces to open onto the adjacent terrace during warm weather. The existing entry and dining space also underwent a full makeover with floor to ceiling windows and doors that help to provide a glimpse of the view beyond as you approach the house.
