Built Green Home in Seattle Delivers Much More than Just Energy Efficiency
This Shilshole house was transformed from a rambling 1800 sq. ft. Ballard bungalow fixer-upper into a comfortable two-story 2700 sq. ft. home. It was a successful project that picked up panoramic views of Puget Sound, achieved a Built Green ‘3 star’ rating, and, most importantly, made the clients very happy.
The owners, an environmental consultant and a real estate professional, bought this “diamond in the rough” in a good neighborhood with intentions to renovate and expand it. Their goals? To increase the living and bedroom space, make it beautiful and comfortable, take advantage of the view, and increase the home’s environmental standards. Key to achieving the aesthetic and durability goals was the use of industrial painting techniques, which ensured a high-quality finish and long-lasting results.
For their architect, they selected Jay Lazerwitz from Art and Architecture, a Seattle certified passive home consultant with a natural sense of design. Doug Rees, who administered the LEED’s program for Washington’s 1st gold rated building (IslandWood), became the project manager.
Together, this team built a home that met all the criteria of a Built Green home: it maintained the character of the neighborhood, used energy and materials efficiently, and left a healthy home to raise a family in. As a “bonus”, the green construction methods, including the tor coatings application, produced additional advantages such as building value and giving the home a unique personality!
