Carrara marble walk-in shower with dual showering stations and floating slab bench.

Master bathroom featuring glass shower and freestanding tub

The master bath is a true oasis, with white marble on the floor, countertop and backsplash, in period-appropriate subway and basket-weave patterns. Wall and floor-mounted chrome fixtures at the sink, tub and shower provide vintage charm and contemporary function. Chrome accents are also found in the light fixtures, cabinet hardware and accessories. The heated towel bars and make-up area with lit mirror provide added luxury. Access to the master closet is through the wood 5-panel pocket door.

The primary bathroom evokes a calming feel, with soft neutral tones, wood cabinetry and natural light let in through new windows. White-and-blue tile in an intriguing circular pattern sits beneath a freestanding soaking tub and a double sink vanity. Large-spanning custom medicine cabinets provide built-in, hideaway storage, and wainscoting adds an additional decorative element, extending along the floor of the entire space through to the laundry room.

The homeowners loved the character of their 100-year-old home near Lake Harriet, but the original layout no longer supported their busy family’s modern lifestyle. When they contacted the architect, they had a simple request: remodel our master closet. This evolved into a complete home renovation that took three-years of meticulous planning and tactical construction. The completed home demonstrates the overall goal of the remodel: historic inspiration with modern luxuries.

Completed in 2019, this is a home we completed for client who initially engaged us to remodeled their 100 year old classic craftsman bungalow on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill. During our initial conversation, it became readily apparent that their program was much larger than a remodel could accomplish and the conversation quickly turned toward the design of a new structure that could accommodate a growing family, a live-in Nanny, a variety of entertainment options and an enclosed garage – all squeezed onto a compact urban corner lot. Project entitlement took almost a year as the house size dictated that we take advantage of several exceptions in Seattle’s complex zoning code. After several meetings with city planning officials, we finally prevailed in our arguments and ultimately designed a 4 story, 3800 sf house on a 2700 sf lot. The finished product is light and airy with a large, open plan and exposed beams on the main level, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, 2 fireplaces, 4 climate zones, a huge basement with a home theatre, guest suite, climbing gym, and an underground tavern/wine cellar/man cave. The kitchen has a large island, a walk-in pantry, a small breakfast area and access to a large deck. All of this program is capped by a rooftop deck with expansive views of Seattle’s urban landscape and Lake Union. Unfortunately for our clients, a job relocation to Southern California forced a sale of their dream home a little more than a year after they settled in after a year project. The good news is that in Seattle’s tight housing market, in less than a week they received several full price offers with escalator clauses which allowed them to turn a nice profit on the deal.

Master bathroom update. Kept original vanity, but replaced counter with new quartz countertop, new under mount sinks, and faucets and added large mirror. Tiled flooring with ceramic tile that has a "slate" look. Created pony wall around shower with rain glass enclosure for privacy while still letting light through. Tile shower with small niche for extra storage.

A modern approach to an american classic. This 5,400 s.f. mountain escape was designed for a family leaving the busy city life for a full-time vacation. The open-concept first level is the family's gathering space and upstairs is for sleeping.
