A local builder approached me about a year and a half ago to help him with plans and design for a tear down rebuild in north Tacoma. His name is Scott Kenyon with K and S Renovations, since then we have worked on many many successful projects together, but this was the first, and it would be his primary residence.
This is located in a view sensitive district so we had to use a shallow hip roof style in order to comply with the height restrictions. The full length covered patio and balcony on both front and back created what we would refer to as a “contemporary southern” look. The white board and batten siding mixed with the black accents gives it a very clean and classic look. The best part is the sweeping view of Commencement Bay from the upstairs bar / living room.
This will always be one of my favorite projects. It was a thrill to see it go from a pile of rubble to a shining example of excellence in design and construction. It dosen’t hurt being in such a gorgeous setting either.
