Island Crest / ONOMA Architecture

closed

Text description provided by the architects.The story of Island Crest is rooted in commitment, preservation, and the decision to thoughtfully re-envision good bones. When the new owners discovered a 1958 home onMercer Island, they were immediately drawn to its history and character. The couple fell for the building's midcentury design, Pacific Northwest craftsmanship, and the majestic magnolia anchoring the front yard. They envisioned it as a forever home where they could start their family. Yet they also saw that it needed a full gut remodel to meet the needs of their growing family and accommodate their social lifestyle and open-door, more-the-merrier philosophy.
