“Hodemaker Pfeiffer has stayed true to the original home, drawing on the historical influence of Pleize (the first architect of the 1930s) and incorporating some of his favorite elements of Spanish and European design. A large addition was made to the rear of the house, providing space for a larger kitchen, new sunroom, butler’s pantry, and an additional bedroom upstairs. Suites have been added, and further tweaks have been made to the rest of the home, with particular attention to blurring the lines between old and new to create a modern floor plan. New materials such as steel windows, bricks and clay roof tiles were carefully selected to harmonize with the home’s existing materials.
The home is located in a historic and traditional neighborhood in Seattle, but the client wanted the interior of the home to be something else. Each room is studded with outstanding mid-century works such as Guillermouet His Chambron, Charles Dudoy and Arne Norelle. Surrounded by colorful works of art from different eras and genres, the atmosphere of this home is far from conventional. ”
