The Concept
The contemporary rustic theme of the existing home is carried economically into the new addition which more than doubles the square footages.
Large areas of glass are used judiciously to capture views of the five acre rural site next to the Siletz River.
The existing split level house consists of a Greatroom (Kitchen, Livingroom), Bathroom, Bedroom "loft," Entry, and two car Garage and Workshop.
A main feature of the house is a vaulted cedar plank and beam ceiling which includes the Greatroom, Master Bedroom, and Entry providing large
window walls on the east and west.
All the windows in the existing house are being replaced with energy efficient vinyl framed glazing and a new roof has been installed.
A second staircase from the Kitchen to the Bath has been eliminated making room for a Pantry at Kitchen level and a small loft area above
for a future computer room.
The existing Bath next to the Bedroom will be converted to a Sewing/Craft Area, the Bedroom "loft" to a Den and Game room.
A new Powder Room will be added next to the existing Entry.
The new addition will consist of an large Entry with patio beyond, a child's Bedroom, a Guestroom, a Guest Bath, a Laundry, and a Master Suite.
The Master Bedroom and the Guestroom will have access to a north facing patio area and open meadow and forest beyond.
