Laurelhurst Reconfiguration

This beautiful old Laurelhurst home had an unused finished attic and only one full bathroom on the second floor shared by 2 adults and 2 teenagers.  Metta Architecture changed the direction of the stairs leading to the attic to allow a direct path from the main level.  This change created better flow in the house. By changing the orientation of the stairs, a backroom was easily converted into a master bathroom. We also created a dormer on the attic level with this cozy nook and the half-round windows filter light down to the second floor.    Built-ins were added for extra storage and an unused chimney was removed to add a laundry chute.
