Seattle Exterior Facelift
Seattle Exterior Facelift
Shuler ArchitectureShuler Architecture
This is a little project we did for a friend a few years ago. Our client approached us after the south face of her house had deteriorated to the point that severe rot and mold had invaded the structure. She also wanted to give the front of her house a facelift and create some more curb appeal. On little projects like these, budget often dictates our design solution and our approach is to maximize value on behalf of our clients. We don't trying to win design awards with these small projects nor are we trying to get published. Our goal is to simply and elegantly solve the problem we are presented with at a price point that our client can afford. There are several ideas we incorporated into this design solution. Foremost was to solve the water infiltration into the building envelope. The structure faces due south and takes a beating from all of the winter storms we get here in the Pacific Northwest. In the summer, harsh sun warps and cracks most siding materials. This solution entailed stripping the entire south facing facade down to the studs, tearing out all of the rotted lumber and reframing this wall to accept new windows. This wall was then insulated, sheathed, covered with a high performance building paper and then sided with a cementitious siding material. We added a cover at the front door to both protect the house and to announce the entry. The element of time plays a large role in our designs and in this case we wanted to highlight the transition from the outer environment to protected interior of the home. Finally, with the addition of the minimal arbor we created a public space on the front of the house that allows for gathering, gives the house more visual interest and provides a public zone between the house and the street. This zone is literally a way for our client, who runs a business on the upper level of her home, to get out of her house and interact with the world. In short, this was a contextual solution that blends in well with its neighbors and promotes community through a classic front porch design. Our client spends a lot of time here in the summers chatting with neighbors, enjoying a glass of wine and watching the setting sun.

This midwestern ranch house was lackluster and in dire need of character, as well as a front porch space for the homeowners. The new porch addition and dormer bring your eye into the space. The house project included a whole house window replacement, a full bath remodel, new garage doors and front doors as well as the porch and sidewalk. The craftsman style details add just the right amount of character to the front elevation and the scale feels inviting.

Great Design, Grand Entry. Steep unattractive steps, no roof, and a pesky leak at the front door drove this client to pursue a fix and new look. Poole's Stone & Garden, Inc. came up with this beautiful concept and implemented the stone work.

In addition to the covered porch itself, exquisite design details made this renovation all that more impressive—from the new copper and asphalt roof to the Hardiplank, clapboard, and cedar shake shingles, and the beautiful, panel-style front door. Alicia Gbur Photography

Around the right side of the house, we added a Mud Room and open Porch. When we enter our house, coming down stone steps from the back of the garage, we enter through this Porch into our Mud Room. The Porch is furnished with modular seating, giving us the ability to take a nap in the shade, or enjoy drinks and snacks away from the sun and rain. Photo by Glen Grayson, AIA

A major television network purchased a 1925 Craftsman-style bungalow in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to renovate into the prize for a televised giveaway. The network sought out Studio Z to re-imagine the 900-square-foot house into a modern, livable home that could remain timeless as the homeowner’s lifestyle needs evolved. Located in the historic Water Hill neighborhood within a few blocks of downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, the home’s walkability was a huge draw. The end result, at approximately 1,500 square feet, feels more spacious than its size suggests. Contractor: Maven Development Photo: Emily Rose Imagery

The floating screened porch addition melds perfectly with both the original home's design and the yard's topography. The elevated deck and porch create cozy spaces that are protected the elements and allow the family to enjoy the beautiful surrounding yard.
