South Lake Union
This contemporary Seattle condominium remodel depicts the client’s love of color while still effusing sophistication. We updated the cookie cutter interiors with a custom walnut and marble kitchen and selected the stainless-steel island counter as a practical material change to provide seamless cooktop integration. Because moving venting was not an option, we designed an offset carrara slab bar so the island could be centered in the room.
Walnut and carrara continue throughout the home to create a neutral backdrop. For the three bath remodels, tile offers pops of rich navy and burnt orange the client craved. The primary bath presented real design challenges in order to work with existing plumbing positions. By adding a step at the tub and a seat in the shower, we were able to mask the existing locations. The accent colors from the bathrooms continue in the primary bedroom in the form of wall paint color and the classic Saarinen chair. The custom walnut cabinet in the living room offers a focal point with copious amounts of storage and houses the stained concrete fireplace surround.
