Evergreen Whole House Remodel after

The client's existing 1950's raised ranch was poorly designed in many ways. It's main entry was on the far side of the house, accessible by narrow wooden stairs and never used. Instead, a flight of narrow wooden stairs on the rear of the existing house were used to enter the breakfast nook. The kitchen was dark, terribly dated, and closed off from the rest of the house. The existing 'front door' and foyer cut into the narrow family room with its low patio doors that provided a minimal view of the mountains beyond. The three main level bedrooms were tiny, accessed off a three-foot wide corridor, and shared one bathroom.

To solve all these problems, the roof was removed over the existing kitchen, breakfast nook and family room, replaced with a vaulted system of timber trusses. Motorized clerestory windows were added providing sorely needed daylight and natural ventilation. The former entry and foyer are gone. The new kitchen and breakfast space now connects to an enlarged family room on one side and a new main entry foyer on the opposite. Sixteen feet of patio doors now open to a new covered deck and take in the wonderful view.    

The existing bedroom wing now has a widened hallway and new staircase to the lower level, a powder room, and an expanded primary suite. The existing basement level garage and rec room have been totally remodelled with two new bedrooms, a music room, and two bathrooms.  
 
A new covered porch with an elegant stone staircase now serve as the primary entry. A new two-story wing has been added with a lower level 3-car garage and a main level craft space. New cedar siding and a red metal roof have been used throughout to to match the existing horse riding arena nearby while giving the house a completely new look.
