1954 Hillwood Home Remodel

This 1954 home was redesigned for its 21st-century family. An open-concept floor plan with modern amenities guided this first-floor remodel. It includes an expanded kitchen featuring a cook top peninsula and bar seating. French doors open to a newly expanded outdoor living space and Trex deck. The main bathroom was transformed to include storage space and modernized amenities to appease each family member. We loved working with this local Shoreline family and are so glad that they’re happy with the results!

Greenlake Urban Farmhouse

Our client’s vision was an urban farmhouse aesthetic, but it carried challenges. The master bedroom/bathroom, mud room, laundry, and second bedroom all needed to coexist for a busy family. Relocating the master suite downstairs and the kids’ room upstairs did the trick and exposed the character of this beautiful home.

Movin' on Up: A Two-Story Addition

The original floor plan of this one-story U-District craftsman home was short on space and simply didn't fit our clients' lifestyle. The master bedroom was in the low-ceilinged basement, and the tiny dining room was disconnected from the kitchen.

A new two-story bump-out addition provided the space for an expansive kitchen and dining room combination. The new second-floor private master suite with wet-room shower and separate sitting area is a lofty retreat bathed in natural light. Best of all, the new addition maintains the home's cozy craftsman charm, incorporating original cedar siding and trim details.

Timeless Issaquah Kitchen Remodel

Issaquah (3).jpg

The original kitchen of this 13-year-old home was 50 shades of stained wood. While the layout was open, it was dark and dreary. The homeowner wanted a bright kitchen with enough light for Northwest winters. We created a timeless, formal kitchen by changing the layout while maintaining the home’s footprint.

Woodinville Dream Come True

Rendering—Home Under Construction

web - Nip Tuck -Simpson before.jpg

Once a dated rambler has now become a client's dream home. The client wanted their living space to be more connected to the backyard and allow for more comfortable entertaining. By removing walls, vaulting the kitchen ceiling, and adding doors and windows this multi-function space was created. Stretching into all three bedrooms with new flooring, trim, doors, and paint this home has been transformed. The use of warm colors, and mixing of transitional styling with some traditional details makes this home a client dream come true.

VanderBeken Remodel

The owners of this 1980's split level home dreamed of an open plan kitchen, dining, and living room instead of the original closed-off rooms. Removing the wall between the kitchen and living room created significantly more usable space, while raising the ceiling dramatically increased the spacious feel in the rooms.

Kitchen Remodel, Stainless Steel Appliances, VanderBeken, Shoreline.jpg
web -vanbefore.png

One challenge we faced was balancing the open floor plan with the need to design around the load bearing section in the center of the space. We achieved this by keeping the dual fireplace wall, creating a sense of separation without enclosing either room. Over-sized glazed Italian porcelain wall tiles maintained the character feature in a modern way.

The natural finishes in this updated kitchen echo both cozy country and sleek city living. Lightly varnished, custom walnut cabinetry emphasize the natural lines and color of the wood, while sleek, textured stainless steel hardware seamlessly tie the cabinets together with the stainless-steel appliances.

Quartz countertops in Fresh Concrete are both durable and modern, without stealing the limelight from the cabinetry. A dark limestone tile backsplash behind the stovetop pairs nicely with the natural colors of the counters and wood cabinetry without overwhelming. Finally, to optimize the flow and space of the room, we designed and built a custom island with an eating bar, plenty of space for food preparation, seating, and storage—including open shelves to display accent pieces or cookbooks.

What We Love:

The custom walnut cabinets steal the show in this kitchen, providing rich color and texture throughout the room while also tying together with the matching custom dining room hutch.

Our Favorite Detail:

The multipurpose custom island provides a central social, cooking, and storage point for the kitchen.

What We Did:

  • Installed custom walnut cabinetry and china hutch

  • Caeserstone concrete countertops

  • Installed glazed Italian porcelain wall tiles in “Coliseum Gray” on dual-fireplace load-bearing wall

  • Installed “Vogue Brown” Bedrosian brushed limestone tile kitchen backplash

  • Built out unique kitchen island with eating area and open book shelves

  • Optimized space to create better flow in the room

  • Removed doors and walls to create open floor plan

1916 Craftsman Reconfiguration

This charming 1916 Craftsman was reconfigured to increase the footprint via a redesigned kitchen and new, open living room. To create an open concept the fireplace and chimney were removed from the living room and the stairs to the basement were rerouted around the kitchen. A partial pony wall between the staircase and dining further opened the space.

The kitchen was expanded from an L-shape to a U-shape giving the family twice the number of cabinets, with a pantry for extra storage, and built-in bench seating for eat-in kitchen dining. To gain additional interior space the original front porch and a side entry were enclosed to create a foyer with a closet, and a functional mud room with built-ins and cubbies. To tie the rooms together new hardware floors were installed throughout the main floor.

Kurt Harjo

Since the age of 19, Kurt has dreamt of starting a business to build beautiful things. Growing up in construction, Kurt had a lot of preparation before founding Harjo Construction, including building tree houses, growing up with a home workshop, working in commercial construction during college, and later working in the field and project management.

If he had to choose the single most important thing to do in a day, Kurt believes it’s understanding priorities. He enjoys solving problems with clients, putting together strategies, and helping them visualize a new reality for their home. Inspired by Coach John Wooden, Kurt motivates others by helping people see new or bigger realities for themselves—discovering a capacity within them they weren’t aware was there. Evident in his management style, Kurt encourages his employees to grow by offering them new challenges.

If he wasn’t improving homes, Kurt could see himself sailing around the world or designing and building furniture. In his spare time, he likes competitive mountain biking, playing volleyball, cooking and conversing with his wife Meghan, young son Koen, and infant daughter Anna.
