Floor Plan of Suburb House by Studio Nocturne

A sliding door connects the kitchen to a new outdoor dining area and the lawn beyond.

For the landscape, Neal worked with a friend from graduate school who is based in Portland at landscape architecture firm Lookout.

The addition of a small second story allowed room for the primary suite and sitting areas.

The living area is anchored by a new stair leading to the second level, which is screened by slats of the same red oak used in the flooring. The side chair was sourced and reupholstered by Seattle-based Madsen Modern.

Before: The living area was anchored by a corner fireplace, which had a distinct mid-century vibe.

The new home quotes the forms and materials of the neighborhood, but remixes them in a more contemporary combination.

Neal and Inga Barber built a new home atop the existing foundation of their previous house in Kenmore, a suburb of Seattle, Washington.

Split across two levels, the oversized windows allow for year-roud growing in the atrium.

In addition to heating via sunlight, the roof is dotted with solar panels for energy.

A mother-son duo of designers, Nicolas Dutko and Chantal Jais tackled the renovations.

Surrounded by a wild apple orchard, the revamped 1800s residence is a slice of pastoral bliss, complete with a converted barn.

Placed on the top floor, the primary suite sits below the roof's exposed wooden rafters.

The $3 million building was converted into a home in the ’80s—and it has original woodwork and stone walls, a pool, and a huge bespoke kitchen.

The living room features a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows under exposed joists.
