Highlands tudor

A home worthy of Bebb & Gould, this Tudor now sings in concert with its gorgeous PNW landscape to the delight of its green thumbed homeowners. The renovation required a full gut of its interior and a significant amount of roof reframing, vaulting its dining room to Lutyens like splendor, sifting in light to the existing living room with the addition of 6 dormers, and modifying the roof line to accommodate an enviable walk in closet for the primary suite. Additionally, reworked stucco, all new double paned wood & leaded glass windows & doors, and timberframing at the back porches and dining room seamlessly deliver a better “old” with the new. Craftsmanship is celebrated in the smallest details— appropriately understated millwork profiles, all new paneling at the family room with a cast stone fireplace, a spacious new kitchen, and handmade tile at the bathrooms. Yet where needed, modernity pops in the unexpected— such as the handpainted wallpaper and sculptural soapstone sink in the powder room. In these photos, we share a bit of our process as well as the final product.
