We re routed the heating vent to face inside this new area and the plan included a room partition to provide an entry, doubling as a coat closet. The natural light abounds, to read and play by, and the warmth of the cherry wood banquettes integrate into the room. North Seattle House - Compact Space Built-Ins. Belltown Design.

The client wanted to have a space where she could relax and read from her personal collection of favorite books. By utilizing some existing furniture and adding a few key pieces, we created a space that is ideal for conversation and quiet, whichever suits the mood. The client travels all over the world, so I wanted to feature some great pieces she has collected along the way. See if you can spot some of the unique decor in the home library!

Inspired by a wide variety of architectural styles, the Yorkdale is truly unique. The hipped roof and nearby decorative corbels recall the best designs of the 1920s, while the mix of straight and curving lines and the stucco and stone add contemporary flavor and visual interest. A cameo window near the large front door adds street appeal. Windows also dominate the rear exterior, which features vast expanses of glass in the form of oversized windows that look out over the large backyard as well as inviting upper and lower screen porches, both of which measure more than 300 square feet.
