His vision blended a 1920's bungalow and modern updated home so that when you walk into the house you have a "Wow, I didn't expect this moment!" He always met his timeline commitments and stayed within design budget. His professionalism and honesty were greatly appreciated and he accommodated a unique remote relationship with us perfectly.
We would definitely work with him again should the opportunity arise.~L.C. Loving the house you designed, absolutely perfect for our family! And thank you so much for pointing us towards Thornberg, Phil and his crew have been amazing to work with.

The client wanted two extra bedrooms over the existing garage, extend the den and bedroom above and create more of a focal point entry.
The main objective for this remodel was to add (2) bedrooms above the garage, extend garage forward, update the entry and change the style to Northwest Craftsman.
Add master bedroom suite over existing detached garage and ADU, update and rearrange main living space, and upate exterior to a more modern look.
After investigating several options, the best plan was to flop the kitchen and dining room.

Zoning: helpful to research prior to meeting.
There are many constraints on every lot that need to be considered - determining setbacks, height limits, FAR (floor area ratio), sensitive areas, lot coverage, impervious surface coverage.
Septic or Sewer: if you are on a septic system, it will add another layer of reviews.
Most jurisdictions require you to submit to King County Health separate from the building permit.
This review often takes as long as the building permit, so it is best to start as soon as possible.
