This Denny Blaine Seattle home had undergone a second story addition renovation prior to the new homeowner purchasing the house. The new homeowner came to H2D Architecture + Design with a vision to upgrade the finishes throughout all floors of the home, add an elevator, enlarge the garage and add a roof top deck. H2D worked closely with the homeowner to develop the new design features for the home. The main driver of the design layout was the cylindrical pneumatic vacuum elevator, which was installed in the central core of the home to serve all three floors of the home. This project was the first permitted installation of the pneumatic vacuum elevator in the State of Washington. Around the cylindrical elevator, the other three floors were renovated with a new layout and finishes. The lower floor consisted of a new media room and secondary kitchen. The main floor was designed with a living room, office, kitchen and dining areas. The upper floor was redesigned with a new stair leading to the new roof top deck. In addition, the garage was expanded on the front of the house to create additional garage space with a roof deck above serving the office space. The front yard was regraded and landscaped with a series of modern retaining walls and landscaping. The overall finished design of the home was clean, crisp and modern.

The new walk-in shower features porcelain tile that captures the look of Calacatta marble. It pairs beautifully with a 2x2 mosaic tile on the shower floor, as an accent strip, and in the two wall niches. A new residential elevator to the left of the shower connects the master suite with the main floor. The rainshower head and showerhead on a slidebar are both by Moen. The shower walls are 12x24 Calacatta by Vallelunga, laid in a horizontal brick pattern. The 2x2 mosaic is Urban Concrete in Fog by Flaviker. The bath floor is 12x24 semi-polished Crossville Shades in Clay, laid in a brick pattern. All are from United Tile.
