This Ballard primary suite remodel turned a dark, cramped attic bedroom into a bright, stylish suite while keeping the 1920s home’s Craftsman charm. The deadline was tight, with the clients’ first child on the way. So we focused on a well-organized retreat for new parents, with more space, smart storage and more natural light. Instead of a full second-story addition, we added shed dormers on the east and west sides to gain square footage. We also carried the structural loads from the attic down to the basement.
The design includes a dramatic step-up bed area, custom drawers and cabinets, and a pull-out shoe cabinet in the stair bulkhead. In addition, we reframed the roof ridge to create a vaulted ceiling, which opens up the room. The attached Craftsman-style bathroom has terrazzo countertops, white subway tile and custom cabinets. New windows and skylights fill it with light. Finally, an exterior deck with Ipe decking and a powder-coated steel railing looks out toward Sunset Hill and the Ballard Locks.
