Guest House
Woodway, Washington
Sortun-Vos was asked to design a guest
house that emulates the client’s main English Country
style house, built in the early 1930s. We worked closely with
The Berger Partnership, Landscape Architects, to strengthen
the relationship between the guest house and its garden setting.
The 750 square foot guest house was
designed to compliment the original home without resorting
to imitation. The design incorporates a steep shake roof,
brick walls, stained glass windows, plaster walls, hand-hewn
beams and pegged oak floors. These materials are similar to
the materials used in the main house, but they are detailed
to emphasize a smaller, more intimate scale. Hand-split siding,
low projecting gables, and ornate chimney detail give the
house texture and character. The result is a retreat that
is quaint, hand-crafted and welcoming.
Completed, 1995.
