Classic Meets Modern: Elegant Bathroom in Dark Textures in Washington, D.C. This bathroom renovation, completed by Fineline Kitchens in Washington, D.C., is a perfect blend of contemporary and transitional design. The space features rich, dark tiles that provide a bold and modern contrast to the clean, minimalist lines of the room. Natural light from the window softens the overall look, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The design seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with timeless touches, such as the elegant freestanding tub, delivering a luxurious and refined bathroom retreat. Every element, from the sleek fixtures to the carefully chosen materials, reflects a harmonious balance between classic charm and contemporary sophistication, making this bathroom both functional and visually striking.

Situated on the west slope of Mt. Baker Ridge, this remodel takes a contemporary view on traditional elements to maximize space, lightness and spectacular views of downtown Seattle and Puget Sound. We were approached by Vertical Construction Group to help a client bring their 1906 craftsman into the 21st century. The original home had many redeeming qualities that were unfortunately compromised by an early 2000’s renovation. This left the new homeowners with awkward and unusable spaces. After studying numerous space plans and roofline modifications, we were able to create quality interior and exterior spaces that reflected our client’s needs and design sensibilities. The resulting master suite, living space, roof deck(s) and re-invented kitchen are great examples of a successful collaboration between homeowner and design and build teams.

Small space living solutions are used throughout this contemporary 596 square foot tiny house. Adjustable height table in the entry area serves as both a coffee table for socializing and as a dining table for eating. Curved banquette is upholstered in outdoor fabric for durability and maximizes space with hidden storage underneath the seat. Kitchen island has a retractable countertop for additional seating while the living area conceals a work desk and media center behind sliding shoji screens. Calming tones of sand and deep ocean blue fill the tiny bedroom downstairs. Glowing bedside sconces utilize wall-mounting and swing arms to conserve bedside space and maximize flexibility.
