Mantz Portico Renovation Renton,Washington.
Portico Renovation
Project Summary: . After meeting and discussing ideas it became clear to both the Owner and the Architect that by bringing the Venacular of the Interior Spaces outside we would achieve the Client's Goals of making this house a home.
To accomodate a budget we Phased the project. The first phase of this project was to reconstruct the delapidated portico and use venacular from inside such as the arch entryway, textured stucco wall finish and select clay floor tiles. These design elements begin to hint as to the mediteranian celebration beyond the entrance of this quaint abode.

Garage/Sunroom Addition
Project Scope: A growing family needs more space. The Sturtons' had already developed a preliminary floor plan of what they envisioned for their future. The key to this project was to establish a project budget and keep it on track.
Project Summary: We extended the garage to the building setback line and then utilized the now enlarged garage area to extend the family room, add a den and even a vestibule with skylights ! The Sunroom, adjacent to the kitchen, utilized Post and Beam Construction to allow for maximum window openings and provided for a Vaulted Ceiling. Of course existing interior walls had to be demolished and new beams and columns had to be anchored to new concrete foundations but these modifications helped to make this house a home.
