About This Project

The Maple Leaf Restoration project beautifully reimagines a classic Seattle Craftsman home that had lost its original front porch due to a previous remodel. The homeowners sought to restore the property to its former glory, and through meticulous research utilizing the city’s archive photos, EGA crafted a design that embodies the authentic charm of the Craftsman style. The project not only focused on restoring the porch but also included a comprehensive revitalization of the entryway, which now features a stunning mid-sized arts and crafts slate flo. The rich green walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by a striking purple front door that adds a pop of color and personality to the facade. To achieve historical accuracy, EGA employed period-specific details throughout the restoration, ensuring that every element resonated with the original design ethos of the home. The craftsmanship involved in this project was exceptional, with skilled artisans carefully selecting materials that reflect the character and quality of the early 20th century. The collaboration with local craftsmen allowed for authentic woodwork, intricate moldings, and period-appropriate fixtures, all contributing to a cohesive and stunning result. Navigating the complexities of modern land use codes posed a challenge, as current regulations do not permit structures to be built close to the street. EGA successfully assisted the homeowners in securing a permit variance by emphasizing the historical integrity of the restoration. This achievement not only preserved the architectural significance of the home but also enhanced the overall aesthetic of the neighborhood. The completed Maple Leaf Restoration stands as a testament to the timeless allure of Craftsman architecture, beautifully balancing historical accuracy with modern living. The project not only revitalizes the home but also enriches the community, inviting admiration from passersby and rekindling the spirit of this beloved Seattle landmark.
