A split-level, 1955 Victoria house gets a stylish makeover that includes an addition that drops down three steps.
‘I feel like I’m in an art gallery cooking school. This makes me so happy just to say that,” says the culinary-loving homeowner of his family’s new kitchen in their updated, mid-century home.
The sunken living room and kitchen are a seamless addition to the house, providing an additional 650 sq. ft.Besides being devoted cooks, the homeowners are also passionate gardeners and have been working on creating an outdoor oasis, since buying the house in 2018. Known as shou sugi ban, the Japanese wood-burning technique was also used on the large front entry closet that forms an artistic backdrop on the side facing the dining room.
The stylish kitchen has all the bells and whistles a professional cook would appreciate. The cooktop faces out to the living space, with a pop-up fan that rises from the kitchen island so as not to hamper sight lines. There’s floor-to-ceiling cabinetry storage along part of the back wall, containing a double oven and stainless steel fridge.There’s also a smaller floor-to-ceiling cabinet to hold all of the wife’s baking equipment and cooking appliances.
ONE SEED Architecture + Interiors firm has been specializing in west coast modern architecture, bringing in elements of Scandinavian, Japanese and Nordic design, for the past 16 years. The small firm also prefers to do projects that are sustainable and energy efficient. The homeowner adds while their initial design had solar panels, for budgeting reasons, they did not do them initially but hope to add them in the near future.“Whenever picking a project, we look at whether it is sustainable and do they share a similar modernist esthetic,” she says.
