Client Goals

For this home remodel project, the client initially intended to transform their home in Redmond, WA into a modern coastal home that integrated natural materials with striking clean lines in its visual aesthetic. The final design would include modern upgrades to increase functionality as their house demands progressed. In response to the client's request, other more useful design features were explored, and as a result, the team completely refined their home into a successful modern coastal home remodel.

Existing Conditions

When we began this project, the house had a wall dividing the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The client was adamant about having an open space layout. We ensured that the wall was not structural and safe to remove since the ceiling needed no support. Moreover, the floors, cabinets, and counters needed to be updated to fit the new style. The home needed an update.

The Plan

This project focused on making the homeowners’ new space feel inviting and tailored to their needs. We started by listening closely to the clients’ goals and using their vision to guide each step of the process. By blending modern and coastal design elements, we introduced light colors, an open concept layout, and thoughtful details.  

The result is a space that feels clean, bright, and spacious, perfectly balancing style with everyday function. Every decision was made to help the owners feel truly at home.

The Process

We started by removing the wall separating the kitchen from the living room and dining room to create an airy feel and more storage without losing privacy. Next, we removed some cabinetry from above the stove to install a new range hood. The kitchen got two new additions: a sink and a tile backsplash. Next, we added an island perfect for meal prep and additional seating for guests and pendant lights above the kitchen island for ambiance and convenience. We installed new LVP flooring on the main floor. Finally, we replaced all of the hardware in the kitchen with modern nickel hardware to complete the look.

To fit with the style of the house, we chose brushed nickel fixtures to match the overall finishes of appliances, pendant, and chandelier to unify the space. Also, adding the warm colors of natural wood creates a cozier feel.

The Result

This full home remodel included new flooring and cabinetry while preserving many of the homeowners’ original furniture pieces. By removing select walls, we opened up the layout to allow more natural light and better flow from the kitchen to the dining area, creating a seamless main living space perfect for gatherings.  

The transformation made the home feel brighter, more spacious, and ideal for entertaining friends and family. The homeowners are delighted with the results and truly enjoy their refreshed living environment.

Client Goals

Our clients wanted to give their home a fresh bathroom makeover that goes with a modern touch. This remodeling project aims to infuse state-of-the-art design and innovative technologies to their three bathroom-spaces. We achieved this by taking their lifestyle into account. Their hands-on participation contributed significantly to this project’s success.

Existing Conditions

The existing drop-in tub in the master bathroom took a lot of space. Aside from outdated materials and colors, the light fixtures were also poorly placed.

The challenge was to make the bathrooms more spacious by using luxuriously finished materials that highlight the owner’s personality while increasing comfort by adding heated floors.

The Plan

For the master bathroom, we designed a full-body shower spray system that gives a fresh waterfall experience. It comes with beautiful textured tile with heated floors, heated towel holder bar, and extended shower bench. A minimalist tub with angular design also added a sophisticated charm.

For the guest bathroom, a frameless shower glass was designed with open space and included a sleek drain cover. The modern design was made consistent in the half bathroom by installing a one-piece-easy-to-clean toilet with a metallic finish.

The Process

From the beginning, it was important for the team to understand the core priorities for their new master bathroom, including space, aesthetics, and comfort requirements. After having a design consultation, we agreed on a budget parameter that maximizes all the features and materials. Following that, we proceeded to specify the scope of work necessary to bring to life their dream bathrooms and delivered an itemized budget to the client.

Client Goals

Home remodeling breathes life into a piece of property. That’s why you need to find a reliable contractor when planning your next residential construction project.

In this project, the client wanted to transform his log cabin house into a designer-inspired home. He had specific visions for the project, like leveling the floor down to the basement, putting a heated tile flooring, creating an entertainment space from its former drafty state, and maximizing light and space.

Existing Conditions

This major remodeling project aims to update the entire house. First, there were too many walls between areas and rooms. The ceiling in the living room was also restrictive. The client, who is a bachelor, prefers one large master bedroom over multiple tiny rooms. Second, the middle part of the house badly needs updating since it was built in the 40s. Third, its master suite room and master bathroom need improvement. Fourth, the house had inefficient use of space—there was no space for the kitchen island.

The Plan

Essentially, the team went with a spacious transitional design with craftsman elements. Our seasoned designer, KB Design LLC, proposed a large master bedroom, an open living room with ample light and space, and an entirely new kitchen with plenty of room for storage and a wine cooler. The former master bedroom was turned into a home office while the basement was transformed into a media room.

The Result

The team was able to preserve the house’s original siding and gave it a fresh new look. This property’s spacious living room, oversized windows, and oak-covered flooring were enhanced for aesthetics and natural lighting.

Additions were made in the kitchen, like the integration of an exhaust fan for the range and custom cabinets. The master’s bedroom was also improved with a modern bathroom, a beautiful walk-in closet, and extra sitting space on the side. It also has a theater room with heated tile flooring, infused with a stylish walnut wave tile, according to the client’s preference.

Overall, this was an inspiring project with fantastic collaborators and a homeowner who trusted the team every step of the way. Sharing in the client’s excitement, everyone was thrilled with the fantastic results and positive feedback.

Client Goals

Our clients wanted to build an addition on the first floor of the house. The aging parents of one of the clients are going to move in and live with them, however, they do not have an available living space to house them.

Since the living space is going to be occupied by an elderly couple, they wanted it to be essentially a master bedroom with its own full bathroom to make it as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Existing Conditions

Since the intended occupants of the house extension is an old couple, the clients wanted it to be in the first floor were access to the rest of the house is safest and easiest. However, there is no spare room on this floor so they decided to build an extension on an empty and unused deck instead.

Since we were adding the extension to the side of the house where the sliding door to the backyard was, we had to remove a window in the dining room and replace it with a new sliding door. The opening of the window was the perfect size to accommodate the sliding door so our installation crew took care of the challenge in one day.

The Plan

After the client relationship manager’s several discussions with the client, we agreed to build the extension on the first floor by removing part of the deck. Externally, we had to match the design of the existing house in order to preserve conformity. Internally, the design has to be simple yet refreshing.

Additionally, it was important for the client for the extension to have vaulted ceilings. This posed a challenge as the structure of the house required to route the mechanical ducting above the room. To address this problem, our designer decided to change the ceiling degree of slope to be less than the slope of the roof which created a gap in between allowing to route the necessary mechanical components.

The Process

Aside from the issue with the vaulted ceilings, we also had to work with the window on the upper floor. The window on this side of the house had to be downsized as it will interfere with the new wall that we are building which had to be 6″ wide.

Although the deck area is big enough to contain the extension, it is still relatively small. Aside from a bedroom, we also had to fit a bathroom adjacent to it so the elderly couple will not have to walk a long way across the house to access the common bathroom. In order to visually expand the space, we did a vaulted ceiling and used light colors for the walls, ceiling, and flooring.

The project manager played a key role in making sure that the workflow went smoothly. In addition to communicating via text, email, and our CRM app, he was frequently on-site and communicated in person with the clients who are living on the property. All of the tradesmen did a superb job in completing the installations. The designer was instrumental in guiding the homeowner throughout the project assisting with finish material selections.
