I was asked to design a kitchen of a house that was built by the owner in 1952 and the only changes that had been done to the kitchen over the years was the floor. The challenge was to come up with a design that was to please not only the 89 and 92 year old owners, but also their son and daughter-in-law. After doing extensive research, I came up with a kitchen that has made both the owners and the children ecstatic.

This Kitchen remodel has a great look without breaking the bank. We tried to keep the price reasonable on this project so we went with a middle of the line cabinet and a Formica deck mount countertop. A full tile backsplash is important when installing Formica to give it that high end look. A light ceramic tile floor was installed to give the room a nice light, open feel.

"Jacquard-woven rug with a rectangular shape, made from mixed cotton and chenille yarns with plush effect and featuring a close net of triangles in the shades of sky blue on a light grey background. The pureness and rigour of classic geometry laws turn into a decorative pattern drawing inspiration from the origami Japanese paper, reinterpreted in a modern twist thanks to the colour palette recounting spaces and times of contemporary living.

CAMBRIA QUARTZ - BERWYN, OLIMPIA TILE, AND POSEIDON BACKSPLASH

This project, in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, added a backyard office / guest room above an existing garage and workshop. The owners wanted their new cottage to match the style of the existing house. There were several challenges. The garage was nonconforming on the rear and side, i.e. the existing structure was too close to the property lines. The new second story had to conform to the setback requirements, so on both the side and back it had to be offset from the garage walls below. The design balances this asymmetry by means of a “false front” on the north side of the garage, through which the stairs to the new upstairs DADU are accessed. The existing garage had some structural issues, and had to be reinforced to support its new upper story. The site was small, and the buildable area limited – for this reason the backyard cottage had to be very compact. And because it was limited by code to 800 s.f., including the existing garage and new exterior stairs, there wasn’t much space to work with. In the end the design met the owners’ goals, and is functioning well as a home office (and occasional guest bedroom). Incidentally the limited size also helped keep the project within a tight budget. The total square footage is 658 s.f. (378 s.f. garage, 280 s.f. upper unit). By the way “Carriage House” originally meant a small outbuilding to house horse-drawn carriages. Today it generally means an accessory structure which contains a garage below, and a living unit above. The City of Seattle is considering changes to the Land Use Code to facilitate the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in single-family zones: http://www.seattle.gov/council/adu-eis
