The lure of this home for the current owners was its proximity to their older parents and its dramatic location on the Puget Sound. Originally built by Robert Durham of Durham, Anderson, and Free, this complete remodel created an open floor plan with a modernist feel that includes an exposed structural steel frame and amazing windows to optimize its shoreline site. Extensive new cabinetry, steel fireplace fronts, and stunning new finishes and fixtures complete this remarkable remodel.
This elegant Mercer Island rambler features fine detailing at each turn. The original 1980s rambler was completely renovated, inside and out. All the interior walls were altered and taken down to the studs. All exterior surfaces, with the exception of the roof, were also removed and reconstructed. This project came in on budget and within the projected move-in date.
This 70s home needed updating. Starting with the kitchen, living room, dining room, and great room, we creatively removed some load-bearing walls and restructured framing.

Custom Ribbon Sapeli contemporary cabinets, hardwood floors, fabulous countertops, and new appliances helped us reinvent this amazing kitchen. A must see!

With just two bedrooms and one bath, this modest 1950s tract house was space enough for this couple to keep their life uncomplicated between their many outdoor adventures.

The house now breathes large with light-filled, contemporary, hip spaces and edgy details. The mere 1,336 square feet function beautifully and feel spacious!

The kitchen was renovated from the framing to provide a better use of space and to incorporate modern conveniences such as a dishwasher, gas range, new utilities, and better ventilation. The eating nook was redesigned with built-ins.

Original construction and finishes were still intact when the new owner took possession of this 1981 home. Our challenge was to update and open up the 2,200-square-foot living area to better suit modern family lifestyles. A new great room concept with an open living, dining, and kitchen area created an upscale, yet comfortable main floor. The new orientation of the family and den area provides useable and efficient work and play spaces. The style is comfortable, warm, and modern.
This post-modern 60s equestrian ranch house is being reorganized from the inside out to become significantly more functional and energy-efficient. The butterfly roof system was extensively repaired, insulated, expanded and finished with a warming tone to add a feeling of cozy warmth to the home. Natural light floods through new, energy-efficient trapezoid windows. Stone, wood, and mosaic glass is reflected in professional fixtures such as cable rails and glossy cabinetry that rise from the hand-sculpted pre-finished maple floors. Phase one of three is complete.
This 1954 ocean view home was almost completely gutted and given new, beautifully open spaces for the family-oriented owners to grow in.

The new master bathroom with its lovely daylight, subway tiles, and bamboo flooring adds great value to the home, as does the opened laundry and family area on the lower level.
The 1979 kitchen and living area of this traditional bi-level home was ready for an update. To better utilize the entertaining areas for large groups, the kitchen, dining room, and living room were regarded as one large space with design details carried throughout to create a harmonious, congruent room. The aesthetic goal was contemporary, unique, and warm, with emphasis on function. The clients were fun, sophisticated, and social, and the husband loves to cook!
This unique outdoor structure offers a working garage space and an area for relaxed outside entertaining with seating, cedar soffits and beams, poured cement flooring, and gas service for the barbecue. The deluxe garage has a car lift to allow parking for two cars. Furniture-grade plywood in cedar-tone stain lines the interior walls of the garage space. Classic finishes paired with commercial materials produce an eclectic, fun vibe.
This small 1948 Craftsman home was busting at the seams with a growing family, pets, and every room small enough to keep the family tripping over each other. The remodel turned this tiny closed-in kitchen into an open, central eating/working hub with a 200 square foot kitchen addition into the large backyard. Undoing an existing pantry space turned a dangerous and gloomy stairwell into a welcoming space that now connects the downstairs with the main floor.
