capitol hill URBAN RETREAT

Hardworking But packed for Leisure

Making this home was like writing a song: harmonizing design, client creativity, and builder expertise, it is proof positive that when you have a winning team, a remodel can be so much more than the sum of its parts. This 1905 Seattle home needed to serve the needs of its audiophile/avid cook/dance instructor/tech worker couple, and make the most of its small footprint but generous ceiling height.

Now packed with clever storage, walnut veneer cabinetry with brilliant brass machine bushing hardware, spacious seating, a generous entry that doubles as private dance instruction space, a kitchen like a stage, and his and her closet space, this home delivers. The clients rave how it withstood the pandemic test: with two working from home, they had everything they needed and more, and loved their home as much as ever.
