Inspiration for a contemporary kitchen remodel in Seattle

Guests sweep into the home through a set of red double doors. An elliptical Mediterranean staircase awes visitors as their eyes leave the waxed-steel spindles and beech railing to soak up the clean, white walls and dark black walnut floors." The high ceilings of the main-level rooms are intricate part of the home's one and a half story design. To create an ideal sense of scale, the roof was carefully crafted to facilitate the dormers and height of the upper-level rooms. Providing a view from the front door into the cozy den was just one way Kevin created intimacy while maximizing space and light.

Design ideas for a contemporary landscaping in Seattle.

Stepping stones in a minimal gravel paved area lead past two lounge chairs to the intimate dining area. The herringbone-patterned limestone patio dissipates into a lush planting bed filled with loose swaths of shade-loving perennials and seasonal bulbs. Beech hedging, and formal clipped evergreens, surround the space and provide privacy, structure and winter interest to the garden. On axis to the main interior living space of the home, the fountain, is the focal point of the garden. A limestone water wall featuring an engraved pattern of fallen Honey Locust leaves nods to the centrally located mature Honey Locust tree that anchors the garden. Water, flowing down the wall, falls a short distance into a pool with a submerged limestone panel. The light noise of the falling water helps soften the sounds of the bustling downtown neighbourhood, creating a tranquil back drop for living and entertaining.
