This uniquely designed home in Seattle, Washington recently underwent a dramatic transformation that provides both a fresh new aesthetic and improved functionality. Renovations on this home went above and beyond the typical “face-lift” of the home remodel project and created a modern, one-of-a-kind space perfectly designed to accommodate the growing family of the homeowners. Along with creating a new aesthetic for the home, constructing a dwelling that was both energy efficient and ensured a high level of comfort were major goals of the project. To this end, the homeowners selected A5h Windows and Doors with triple-pane glazing which offers argon-filled, low-E coated glass and warm edge spacers within an all-aluminum frame. The hidden sash option was selected to provide a clean and modern aesthetic on the exterior facade. Concealed hinges allow for a continuous air seal, while premium stainless-steel handles offer a refined contemporary touch.

Maple House is a lovely little craftsman-style home that had some great features to begin with, like a full size pantry and a mudroom entry from the carport. It did need a lot of love, though, from top to bottom, and ceiling to floor! It is now a really functional and efficient home, with lovely tile work in the bathrooms, granite counters and new cabinetry in the re-designed kitchen, new flooring throughout, and a huge walk-in closet in the adorable master bedroom. This one only stayed on the market a few days before being purchased by a very lovely family!

Urban living requires an efficient use of space especially in ones' outdoor spaces. My client has small children and needed to offer them a place to play safely but with low maintenance. They also wanted a pleasant entry. This project was multidimensional and lots of fun.

This gut renovation updates a 1,200 SF Classic 5 in an historic prewar building overlooking Gramercy Park. The design is organized around a spine of ribbed white oak proceeding from entry hall to living spaces with southwest views over the park. Concealed doors throughout the apartment provide access to storage, and a hidden door in the ribbed wall leads to the master suite. Fran Parente

We restored this historic Houston Heights bungalow to its former glory. We repaired and leveled the original pier and beam foundation. We also replaced the original single pane double hung wood windows with modern energy efficient windows that harmonize with the historic style of the home. The wrought iron fence was a new addition to the property and complements the black trim on the exterior.

From start to finish, the construction is uniformly energy efficient and follows California Build It Green guidelines. Many sustainable finish materials are used on both the interior and exterior, including recycled old growth cedar and pre-fabricated concrete panel siding. Photo by: www.bernardandre.com

Make the most of your entry with cabinets all around. One side of the room covers all things laundry, while the other side effectively houses all your mudroom essentials. Built-in places for hats, shoes, and cleaning supplies keep everything in place. And keep it all beautifully tidy with Medallion's Park Place cabinets in Divinity by Allen's Fine Woodworking.

The addition of a new covered front porch really expands the front of this 1950's home... a newly redesigned and constructed cover entry changes this home's look and feel. We were able to update the exterior finishes at the same time, replacing the old windows with new dark framed more energy efficient windows. The exterior trim is now all pvc; this lowers maintenance and upkeep. New fiber cement lap and shake siding improve weather durability. Proper overhangs give an added architectural details while improving rainwater control and weather protection. Square tapered columns accent the stained, craftsmen style, douglas fir wood front door. The entire porch has some type of stone - Eldorado stone veneer faces the foundation and porch with natural bluestone on the porch steps and porch floor.
