  As head of the green-conscious architectural firm Blip Design, Jim Burton has seen his share of what-ifs, what-abouts and what-could-bes when it comes to home remodeling in Seattle.
  
  When he heard about the modest, 1,700-square-foot bungalow tucked into Phinney Ridge's southern slope, however, Burton saw more than just the second-story master area that the owners had envisioned. Even with a tight budget, the west-facing, 1912 house resting on a 5,250-square-foot lot had enough design opportunities to make an architect salivate. "Some think that the term 'challenging budget' presents a problem," says Burton, who founded his firm nine years ago.
  ...
  So, one month after their son arrived in February '07, the family vacated, taking an apartment downtown so that Burton could get to work.
  
  Burton's first bit of business was attending to a few major structural upgrades, including replacing much of the house's existing framing, deemed necessary by the contractor during the early stages of construction, and completing a seismic retro-fit. Although, as the owners' requested, he minimized work on the main floor, home to the kitchen, dining and living rooms and one bedroom and bath, he didn't skimp on materials or design elements.
  ...
  Previously a cramped, style-free storage space and laundry room, Burton created underground quarters, complete with a laundry/mud room, new guest room and bath and amenities enough to make any visitors feel at home. He jacked up the house by one foot to create a comfortable eight-foot ceiling and put in a poured concrete floor with welcoming, and energy-efficient, radiant heat.
  ...
  Burton suggested a cedar-wood screen, which reaches from the ground to the second-floor balcony, as a means of shielding the family from the traffic noise coming from busy Third Avenue without obstructing their view.

  "We believe strongly that Seattle's single-family neighborhoods are going to have to provide more homes in the future to accommodate expected growth," said Jim Burton, an architect with Seattle's Blip Design.
  ...
  "We're anticipating a little bit more criticism than we're going to get here," Burton told the housing advocates Tuesday.

  "I guess we're known as the local architects who do Modern," laughs principal Jim Burton.

  With these needs in mind, Carter + Burton principal Jim Burton, AIA, his partner Page Carter, the firm's interior designer Michelle Timberlake and its design team set about creating the 4,000-square-foot, two-bedroom retreat.
  ...
  Burton and his team created the tree-house-like spaces with the stair-tower, which became a vertical gallery for art, and serves to ventilate the home with a chimney effect.
  ...
  "The challenge was to keep the south side open to views, build storage into the north side, and still leave some places to show art," says Burton.
