Home design - contemporary home design idea in Seattle

Our West Town client envisioned a lush, versatile retreat atop their exposed penthouse roof. To bring this vision to life, we expanded the terrace’s square footage by 50%, reusing and matching existing fencing panels to seamlessly extend the railing and unify the space. An aluminum pergola with motorized Corradi USA shade fabric provides essential shade and privacy, while an outdoor kitchen by Urban Bonfire offers grilling, refrigeration, storage, and counter space. Planter boxes filled with fruit trees, quaking aspens, vibrant perennials, and seasonal annuals line the terrace, adding color and natural movement. A serene water feature with a Greek maiden serves as a focal point, while a seating and dining area reflects the client’s bold style. After dark, soft lighting accentuates the plantings, ground plane, and shade fabric, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. Reflections from nearby skyscrapers complete this elevated urban sanctuary, perfect for unwinding under the city’s night sky.
