Eastgate Addition
Bellevue, WA
Addition/Remodel
Lot size: 11,359 sf
Building areas: Existing building: 3,000 sf + Addition: 1,300 sf = Total 4,300 sf (includes 700 sf garage)
Exterior Environment: Located in the Bellevue Eastgate area, the project has critical slopes with buffer zones that limit expansion. The new addition is built onto the back of the existing house. The original home was a simple "soldier house," but with the new entry and two-story lobby, the exterior has been transformed to resemble a brand new building.
Interior Environment: The entry was opened to create a two-story lobby with an open staircase, enhancing the spatial quality throughout the house. The main floor now includes an open kitchen area and an additional garage. On the upper level, one room was sacrificed to create a new master suite with a modern bathroom, soaking tub, and walk-in closet. Over the existing structure, two more guest rooms and a multi-function room were added, creating a potential separate mother-in-law unit with its own entry from the deck.
