House With 1600 SF Addition

Belyea Faigin residence is located between Ballard
and Phinney Ridge. The house is a home for an artist
Gary Faigin, his wife and their two children. Originally
it had been an 1936 year’s building that was accompanied
by a new three story, 1600 square feet addition.
The lowest level is Gary’s studio, the middle level is the
living/dining room and the top floor is a new master suite.
The original structure is connected to the addition by
the glassy gasket. The original beveled siding slides from
outside to inside marking the transition between old and new.
The new portion is emphatically modern in its use of materials,
structure and detail but the gable roof and areas of wood
siding make it sympathetic to the character of the old house.










The design concept allowed to use simple forms, aluminum
windows, vivid paint colors and sleek but modest finishes.
The addition has allowwed the family to work, entertain
and live in one place.
