Davis Residence

FAMILY HOME RENOVATION & ADDITION — MIDCENTURY MODERN — PACIFIC NORTHWEST DESIGN

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

This remodel and addition to a classic Tucker & Shield midcentury modern home in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle, strengthens the connection of rooms to one another, the public portions of the house to the site, and updates the finishes of this 1955 residence while staying true to the spirit of the original design.

A new daylit stairwell creates a logical circulation path between the bedroom wing of the split-level, and the public spaces of the house, creating a more fluid transition to the second-floor living. The new family room addition builds off the home’s original elemental language of brick, wood, and glass, providing a deck to take in the expansive views of Lake Washington - leveraging the home’s connection to a quintessential Seattle site.
