Wooden Jacket House
Wedgewood, Seattle, WA
A growing family chooses to add an upper floor to a modest mid-century home. They love their big back yard where they garden with their kids. For the addition, we stick with the existing footprint of the house. In order to demolish as little as we can, and to avoid using more old-growth clear cedar, we devise an artful way to wrap reclaimed wood slat siding and new windows into and around the existing clear cedar shingle siding and simple sashed windows.
Proposed sustainable features
Addition on existing footprint only
Many existing materials salvaged for re-use on site
Integrated Home Performance testing for envelope
upgrades
Existing main floor envelope upgraded to high-
performance
Passive solar designs incorporated at south spaces
Step-able green roof
Rainwater catchment for re-use in toilets and
laundry
Self-contained solar preheat for domestic hot water
All new siding installed as rainscreen
FSC-certified framing lumber and sheathing
Low-VOC adhesives and caulks
No-VOC & Low-VOC paints
Small hydronic system and Energy Recover
Ventilator combine to heat house
Cabinets made of healthy cores and healthy finishes
Salvaged fixtures and finishes
