This house was designed as a second home for a Bay Area couple as a summer retreat to spend the warm summer months away from the fog in San Francisco. Built on a steep slope and a narrow lot, this 4000 square foot home is spread over 3 floors, with the master, guest and kids bedroom on the ground floor, and living spaces on the upper floor to take advantage of the views. The main living level includes a large kitchen, dining, and living space, connected to two home offices by way of a bridge that extends across the double height entry. This bridge area acts as a gallery of light, allowing filtered light through the skylights above and down to the entry on the ground level. All living space takes advantage of grand views of Lake Washington and the city skyline beyond. Two large sliding glass doors open up completely, allowing the living and dining space to extend to the deck outside. On the first floor, in addition to the guest room, a “kids room” welcomes visiting nieces and nephews with bunk beds and their own bathroom. The basement level contains storage, mechanical and a 2 car garage. Photographer: Aaron Leitz

Photo 2 of 3: The kitchen in this home was another fun project. Our interior designer came up with the idea for an island with a raised serving bar in the center. Our customer selected "Blue Louise" for the raised section and white "Antartide" for the balance of the counter tops.The counter top is under-lit with LED strip lighting. The vent hood cabinet features the same "circle and X" that appear in the front door and in the courtyard railing. The floor is hand-scraped oak hardwood. The cabinets that flank the kitchen sink have clear backs and fronts allowing the homeowner to view the motor court from the kitchen.

The kitchen and powder room of this extensively remodeled home were somehow always left behind, relics of a different –and unflattering—era. Our work seamlessly updates these spaces and integrates them into the modern, clean aesthetic of the rest of the home. Since the owners are enthusiastic art collectors, the galley kitchen is designed with large expanses of open walls, as a gallery waiting to be curated. Photography: Eddy Joaquim
