Client’s were seeking a luminous, coastal-inspired kitchen that honored Puget Sound views, the clients required a high-functioning space for an expanding family, including four adult children and future in-laws. The plan prioritizes abundant storage, intuitive cooking and cleanup zones, and seamless guest circulation that preserves the workflow. Custom walnut base cabinetry lends resilience, warmth, and visual depth, balanced by honed quartz and airy wall cabinetry. Navy island cabinetry, nautical fixtures, and a mixed hue backsplash evoke the shoreline without feeling overly thematic.

After: Now, the kitchen is a showcase of modern performance and elegant design. A 36” Thermador induction cooktop takes center stage, providing precise, fast, and efficient cooking with a sleek stainless steel frame that nods to the kitchen’s past while embracing the future. Above it, a Zephyr range hood with LED lighting adds both drama and function, complete with a wireless remote for effortless control. Under it, stunning “Faenza” wall tile in "Azul" stretches under the hood and frames the cooktop, creating a bold visual contrast. The refrigeration got an enviable upgrade to a SubZero model, featuring internal water and ice. Home-cooked meals are now even more enjoyable with a new 30” Miele wall oven with top-of-the-line convection technology and a touch-display. This piece allows for intuitive, tap-and-swipe control on its oversized screen with perfectly visible text and symbols. This renovation didn’t just update appliances, it turned a functional kitchen into a chef’s dream and a space for memorable entertaining.

Winner of the 2018 Tour of Homes Best Remodel, this whole house re-design of a 1963 Bennet & Johnson mid-century raised ranch home is a beautiful example of the magic we can weave through the application of more sustainable modern design principles to existing spaces. We worked closely with our client on extensive updates to create a modernized MCM gem. Extensive alterations include: - a completely redesigned floor plan to promote a more intuitive flow throughout - vaulted the ceilings over the great room to create an amazing entrance and feeling of inspired openness - redesigned entry and driveway to be more inviting and welcoming as well as to experientially set the mid-century modern stage - the removal of a visually disruptive load bearing central wall and chimney system that formerly partitioned the homes’ entry, dining, kitchen and living rooms from each other - added clerestory windows above the new kitchen to accentuate the new vaulted ceiling line and create a greater visual continuation of indoor to outdoor space - drastically increased the access to natural light by increasing window sizes and opening up the floor plan - placed natural wood elements throughout to provide a calming palette and cohesive Pacific Northwest feel - incorporated Universal Design principles to make the home Aging In Place ready with wide hallways and accessible spaces, including single-floor living if needed - moved and completely redesigned the stairway to work for the home’s occupants and be a part of the cohesive design aesthetic - mixed custom tile layouts with more traditional tiling to create fun and playful visual experiences - custom designed and sourced MCM specific elements such as the entry screen, cabinetry and lighting - development of the downstairs for potential future use by an assisted living caretaker - energy efficiency upgrades seamlessly woven in with much improved insulation, ductless mini splits and solar gain

A defining aspect of the Hearth Residence renovation was improving circulation throughout the main floor. The redesigned layout creates clear sight lines between the kitchen, living spaces, and adjacent circulation areas, allowing the home to feel more connected and intuitive to navigate. Rather than adding square footage, the project focused on interior architecture and space planning to improve flow, functionality, and daily living. Consistent material selections, integrated millwork, and carefully framed views help unify the home’s primary gathering spaces while supporting modern family life.

The interior of this home blurs the line between modern and traditional, forging a relaxed living environment. The arched, copper porch, which features Eldorado Stone’s modern LedgeCut33, creates an inviting presentation with its continuous linear pattern displayed throughout this residence. Additionally, Eldorado Stone’s Sage LegdeCut33 adds a modern element with its lines while its cool color palette blends into the surrounding elements, which allows the home to reveal itself progressively.

The primary bedroom didn’t go untouched. We anchored the space with Benjamin Moore Dragon’s Breath on the accent wall—a moody, rich tone that adds instant depth. It sets a stunning backdrop for the Rejuvenation Imbrie Articulating Sconces, which bring a classic brass-and-enamel moment into the mix. Paired with Buster + Punch dimmer switches, the lighting now responds intuitively to any mood, from soft nighttime reading to bright morning motivation. Grounding the room is Dreamweaver’s Finishing Touch carpet in Shortbread, a soft, neutral foundation that keeps the room feeling cozy and connected to the palette of the bath.

The original kitchen in this condominium was renovated arising from the need to replace Kitec plumbing. The work triangle remained generally the same, but numerous changes were made to improve the kitchen’s functionality, aesthetics, and lighting. Automation was also introduced. The goal was to design and build a modern contemporary functional kitchen with inspiring colours accented with textured wood features. The functionality was improved with the addition of an under counter microwave, which freed up countertop space. Additional and improved storage was also created by incorporating under cabinet drawers throughout the kitchen, a bar area with open glass shelving above, and open shelving to the right of the seating area. Upper cabinet storage was as well increased with storage above the fridge. Numerous lighting improvements were made including the addition of potlights. This was done by dropping the ceiling in the kitchen, which also created a visual division with the dining area. Automation was introduced as well into the space with HUE under cabinet lighting, and a touch faucet. The under cabinet lights are controlled by the Phillips Hue App that programs routines, scenes, and other settings. The kitchen features painted Shaker cabinets accented by textured wood shelving. The countertop surfaces are quartz with waterfalls on both sides of the island, which is a focal point. Shapes are also strongly identified in the design with the use of triangular tiles in the backsplash along with rectangular upper cabinets, and appliance doors and drawers. The kitchen is made most unique though with the uplifting use of colour in the cabinets that make this a bright and cheerful space. Aristea Photography
