Harjo Construction
The remodel and expansion of this 1940s craftsman touched every square inch of the home’s interior and exterior.
Our client’s vision was an urban farmhouse aesthetic, but it carried challenges. The master bedroom/bathroom, mud room, laundry, and second bedroom all needed to coexist for a busy family. Relocating the master suite downstairs and the kids’ room upstairs did the trick and exposed the character of this beautiful home.
The original floor plan of this one-story U-District craftsman home was short on space and simply didn't fit our clients' lifestyle. The master bedroom was in the low-ceilinged basement, and the tiny dining room was disconnected from the kitchen.
A new two-story bump-out addition provided the space for an expansive kitchen and dining room combination. The new second-floor private master suite with wet-room shower and separate sitting area is a lofty retreat bathed in natural light. Best of all, the new addition maintains the home's cozy craftsman charm, incorporating original cedar siding and trim details.
The original kitchen of this 13-year-old home was 50 shades of stained wood. While the layout was open, it was dark and dreary. The homeowner wanted a bright kitchen with enough light for Northwest winters. We created a timeless, formal kitchen by changing the layout while maintaining the home’s footprint.
Our homeowners wanted to add a bit of European style to their brand-new powder room and renovated kitchen, based on their love of travel and bike touring. They were especially excited to move the awkwardly-placed toilet out of the dining room. Visit us and see how it all came together!
This charming 1916 Craftsman was reconfigured to increase the footprint via a redesigned kitchen and new, open living room. To create an open concept the fireplace and chimney were removed from the living room and the stairs to the basement were rerouted around the kitchen. A partial pony wall between the staircase and dining further opened the space.
The kitchen was expanded from an L-shape to a U-shape giving the family twice the number of cabinets, with a pantry for extra storage, and built-in bench seating for eat-in kitchen dining. To gain additional interior space the original front porch and a side entry were enclosed to create a foyer with a closet, and a functional mud room with built-ins and cubbies. To tie the rooms together new hardware floors were installed throughout the main floor.
