An extrusion of a craftsman bungalow.

This small addition to a 1913 craftsman bungalow located in the Tangletown neighborhood of Seattle is treated both formally and spatially as an architectural extrusion of the original home. The addition provides additional living space for the couple and their large dog, a much-needed second bathroom for their frequent guests, and a small home office space. Referencing the arched openings inside the existing home that are of the craftsman period, a new arched opening serves as a threshold that connects the existing living/dining/kitchen space with the new living space. A gradual stair descends down to the new living space, allowing for a direct connection to the garden. A series of skylights are scattered throughout the new addition, with scooped openings that continue the theme of the arch throughout.
