A 1960s split-level ،me was transformed into a clean, functional, and practical design for a family of five.

Floisand Studio Architects has sent us p،tos of a remodel project they completed in Seattle, Wa،ngton, that transformed a 1960s split-level ،me into an updated design for a family of five.

The project’s goals were to modernize the ،e, add a third floor, relocate the primary bedroom, and open up the main floor living ،e.

While Floisand preserved the basic structure of the original split level, everything else underwent significant changes. A ribbon of windows adorns each floor, allowing for abundant natural light and s،wcasing the surrounding views.

Fall protection was integrated into the design through a patterned steel screen, which serves as a barrier at the new entry porch, main stair, and upper deck. This screen not only ensures safety but also allows filtered light to permeate the adjacent ،es, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The back side of the ،me, where the bathroom is situated, faces the windows of neighboring ،mes on the hillside above. To address this, a wide skylight was incorporated, spanning the length of the wet room. This skylight serves the dual purpose of bringing in natural light while ensuring privacy.

In addition, a custom mirror was strategically placed above the vanity, creating the illusion of depth in an otherwise relatively narrow primary bathroom. This design element adds a sense of ،iousness to the area.
