Capitol Hill Loft Remodel
Capitol Hill Loft, located in Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, is a 1,702-square-foot custom crafted remodel of an urban loft. The award-winning 1310 East Union Building originally designed by the Miller Hull Partnership for Seattle-based developers, Dunn + Hobbes, accommodates eight loft-style condominiums with sweeping views of the Puget Sound and nearby mountains.
The client, a young professional couple, came to the firm with an original layout that did not harmonize with everyday living patterns; an exposed entry way, lack of storage and oversized hallway left no place to hide. The main challenge was to add functional elements to the space that blended with the building’s original palette of concrete floors, zinc plated pan-decking ceiling, and blackened steel beams and railings.
Inserting a mix of texture, raw materials and functional elements, SHED Architecture & Design was able to artfully marry the new additions with the original details of the industrial construction using a palette of concrete brick, stainless steel plate, blackened perforated and sheet steel and mirror.
