Seattle Little Shingle Residence by Best Practice Architecture Exterior

Before & After: Three Creative Sisters Team Up to Remodel Their Mom’s Forever Home

3 of 34

Sitting jauntily on its block, this renovated residence in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood retains the original home’s footprint. Sarah Smith, the architect (and daughter of the homeowner, Cynthia) opened up the living spaces inside and overhauled the exterior and landscaping to give it a more contemporary presence. The landscape firm Cambium created the outdoor spaces, which perfectly balance hardscape with greenery.
