This Kirkland residence, west of Market Street, is a whole-house remodel and addition by Cutuli Homes, a high-end boutique builder. Almost every surface was rebuilt. The one exception is the original fireplace at the center of the house, which was kept as the historic heart of the plan while the rooms around it were opened, refined, and expanded. What began as a modest one-story house is now a two-story West of Market home with a formal porch, upper balcony, and bay windows. The exterior is gray-blue clapboard with crisp white trim, a gray shingle roof, and a brick walk and stone garden wall that settle the addition into the street. The addition adds living space without erasing the original cottage scale; the new massing still reads as a neighborhood house, not a teardown. Inside, the work is millwork-first. Dark cherry cabinets, a center island, stainless appliances, and a continuous wood crown wrap the kitchen. The living room is framed in the same stained wood: coffered beams, tall divided-light windows, and French doors to the garden. A child’s room in the bay uses built-in seating, book storage under the bench, and matching wood furniture. The primary bath is a quiet pair of wood vanities with stone tops, framed mirrors, and sconces, looking through to the bedroom. Hardwood floors, stone, and painted plaster keep the palette grounded so the wood can carry the house. The style is Pacific Northwest traditional: classic trim and proportion, not a period replica. Materials are meant to last in a Kirkland climate—painted siding, stained hardwood, stone, and stainless—while the original fireplace remains the one piece that was not remade.

Troy Thies Photography This "Flex Room" is just that. A flexible room for two children that can grow with them as they need space for desks and larger chairs. Right now, it is perfect for their play items.

This beautiful Birmingham, MI home had been renovated prior to our clients purchase, but the style and overall design was not a fit for their family. They really wanted to have a kitchen with a large “eat-in” island where their three growing children could gather, eat meals and enjoy time together. Additionally, they needed storage, lots of storage! We decided to create a completely new space. The original kitchen was a small “L” shaped workspace with the nook visible from the front entry. It was completely closed off to the large vaulted family room. Our team at MSDB re-designed and gutted the entire space. We removed the wall between the kitchen and family room and eliminated existing closet spaces and then added a small cantilevered addition toward the backyard. With the expanded open space, we were able to flip the kitchen into the old nook area and add an extra-large island. The new kitchen includes oversized built in Subzero refrigeration, a 48” Wolf dual fuel double oven range along with a large apron front sink overlooking the patio and a 2nd prep sink in the island. Additionally, we used hallway and closet storage to create a gorgeous walk-in pantry with beautiful frosted glass barn doors. As you slide the doors open the lights go on and you enter a completely new space with butcher block countertops for baking preparation and a coffee bar, subway tile backsplash and room for any kind of storage needed. The homeowners love the ability to display some of the wine they’ve purchased during their travels to Italy! We did not stop with the kitchen; a small bar was added in the new nook area with additional refrigeration. A brand-new mud room was created between the nook and garage with 12” x 24”, easy to clean, porcelain gray tile floor. The finishing touches were the new custom living room fireplace with marble mosaic tile surround and marble hearth and stunning extra wide plank hand scraped oak flooring throughout the entire first floor.

This property was transformed from an 1870s YMCA summer camp into an eclectic family home, built to last for generations. Space was made for a growing family by excavating the slope beneath and raising the ceilings above. Every new detail was made to look vintage, retaining the core essence of the site, while state of the art whole house systems ensure that it functions like 21st century home. This home was featured on the cover of ELLE Décor Magazine in April 2016. G.P.
