✨ Transforming Dreams into Reality: Kitchen Remodeling in Green Lake, Seattle ✨
We are thrilled to share the stunning transformation of a kitchen remodeling project we recently completed in the vibrant Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle. This project was truly a labor of love, and we're excited to showcase the remarkable results that have left our clients delighted.
A Fusion of Elegance and Functionality
At Levite Construction, we believe that a kitchen is not just a place to cook; it's the heart of a home. Our mission was to create a space that seamlessly blends elegance with functionality, and we're proud to say that we've achieved just that.
Two-Tone Cabinets for Timeless Charm
The first thing you'll notice when stepping into this kitchen is the captivating two-tone cabinet design. The deep, rich antique green cabinets exude warmth and sophistication, while the natural wood island adds a touch of rustic charm. This combination creates a visually stunning contrast that makes the kitchen truly stand out.
Spanish Square Classic Tile for a Touch of Tradition
To add a touch of timeless charm, we adorned the kitchen walls with exquisite Spanish square classic tiles. The intricate patterns and warm earthy tones of the tiles bring a sense of tradition and character to the space, making it feel like a cozy gathering place for family and friends.
Clean and Modern Quartz Countertops
For the countertops, we opted for sleek and pristine white quartz. Not only do these countertops create a clean and modern aesthetic, but they also offer durability and easy maintenance – ideal for a busy kitchen.
A Layout Transformation
Perhaps the most significant change in this kitchen remodeling project was the complete layout transformation. We reimagined the space to maximize functionality and create an open concept. This involved the removal of a load-bearing wall at the kitchen's front, which was a significant structural challenge that we were more than prepared to tackle.
Reconfigured Appliances and a New Island
To enhance convenience and efficiency, we rearranged all the kitchen appliances into a more comfortable and user-friendly layout. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the new island, which not only serves as a practical workspace but also as a hub for socializing and entertaining and having the microwave drawer style in the island.
Open Concept Living
By removing the load-bearing wall, we've seamlessly connected the kitchen with the adjoining living areas, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. This open concept design not only enhances the flow of natural light but also encourages interactions among family members and guests.
A Testament to Collaboration
This project was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team and the unwavering trust of our clients. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
In conclusion, this kitchen remodeling project in Green Lake, Seattle, has been a truly transformative experience. It showcases our commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and our passion for turning our clients' visions into reality.
If you're inspired by this project and have dreams of your own, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at (425) 998-8958. We'd be honored to be a part of your next home transformation.

The Shirvanian Youth Center remodel, championed by nonprofit Engineer Armenia, reimagines the center’s outdoor area as a flexible community space for youth gathering, recreation, learning, and everyday use. Conceived as an extension of the center itself, the courtyard is organized into purposeful zones that support both structured programming and informal interaction.
Stepped seating creates an amphitheater-style setting for presentations, performances, and group gathering, while lunch and picnic areas encourage daily use and shared meals. A retractable shade structure improves comfort throughout the day, and a central fire pit establishes a natural focal point for connection and community. Together, these elements shape a multi-use outdoor environment designed for children, teens, families, and nonprofit programming.
Grounded in flexibility, durability, and human-centered planning, the design creates a welcoming setting for activity, social engagement, and belonging. The result is a thoughtful community-centered courtyard that reinforces the youth center’s role as a place for gathering, learning, and recreation.

This complete structural makeover of a two-story 1978 penthouse sought to integrate the kitchen and social area, creating an open layout allowing houseguests to interact more fluidly, while taking advantage of the natural light afforded by a reconfigured, double-height view of Miami’s Biscayne Bay. Materials were chosen to lend richness and texture to the space, defining proportions and ratios, with an emphasis on clean, compelling lines to complement the clients’ entertaining objectives while embodying a warmer, “Modern Eclectic Contemporary” feel. Custom furniture including a sleek, youthful bar and seating as well as oversized artwork emphasize proportion in the two-story space while maximizing the space’s relationship to the double-height view. The design aimed to toy with depth and drama, employing a custom geometric chandelier, streamlined furniture, and glimpses of color to create a welcoming, interesting, and eye-catching space.
