Falterman-Strong Residence

Location: Mercer Island

Contractor: Joseph J. Jefferson & Son

Architect: William Zimmerman Architects

Team: Dryvit Systems, Georgia-Pacific, Salmon Bay Construction Products

“The Stronghold” is a single-family residence on Mercer Island. The scope of work involved a complete exterior stucco reclad with a new conservatory/sunroom addition. The work included new window surrounds, three levels of decks, structural and nonstructural soffit beams and other alterations.

Existing barrier exterior insulation and finish systems were removed and about 6,000 square feet of new stucco with acrylic finish were installed over exterior walls and columns. Direct-applied finish systems were installed over vented-glass, fiber-faced gypsum sheathing at 1,600 square feet of roof perimeter and deck soffits.

Stucco components included two layers of 60-minute paper, Eisenwall stucco scratch and brown coats, raised expanded polystyrene trim bands and a custom acrylic-texture finish.

The architectural design by William Zimmerman Architects was inspired by the owners’ travels through Spain, Morocco and the Mediterranean. Terracotta tile roofs, decks and wall caps enhance the stucco exterior. Flowing stucco arches, column detailing, and tile accents at window and door surrounds add color and a clean look to the design.

Joseph J. Jefferson & Son encountered many challenges, starting with access to the site for deliveries. Weather extremes over two years required multiple exterior protections.

Juror's comment: “A classic home! A tight space and a long project delayed by weather, but the contractor did a great job.”
