Modern Coastal Home Remodel

For this home remodel project, the client initially intended to transform their home in Redmond, WA into a modern coastal home that integrated natural materials with striking clean lines in its visual aesthetic. The final design would include modern upgrades to increase functionality as their house demands progressed. In response to the client's request, other more useful design features were explored, and as a result, the team completely refined their home into a successful modern coastal home remodel.

When we began this project, the house had a wall dividing the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The client was adamant about having an open space layout. We ensured that the wall was not structural and safe to remove since the ceiling needed no support. Moreover, the floors, cabinets, and counters needed to be updated to fit the new style. The home needed an update.

We started by removing the wall separating the kitchen from the living room and dining room to create an airy feel and more storage without losing privacy. Next, we removed some cabinetry from above the stove to install a new range hood. The kitchen got two new additions: a sink and a tile backsplash. Next, we added an island perfect for meal prep and additional seating for guests and pendant lights above the kitchen island for ambiance and convenience. We installed new LVP flooring on the main floor. Finally, we replaced all of the hardware in the kitchen with modern nickel hardware to complete the look.

The client hired us in the spring of 2021 for an entire home remodel. It took us about a month to work through the design and procure the materials required for this project. We completed the project in one month. Updates were made to the floors and cabinets, while we kept many furniture pieces from before. Furthermore, removing some walls enabled more space and light flow from the kitchen to the dining space, creating a single main living space for them to gather with friends and family. They love what we came up with and are very happy in their new home.
