Situated on a bluff with sweeping views of the Puget Sound, the existing home’s compartmentalized design failed to take advantage of the spectacular scenery. By removing interior walls and posts and adding steel and glu-lam beams to carry the loads, we opened up the entry, kitchen, dining and living rooms to the ocean views.

It was important to the homeowners to keep the flare of the mid-century home by keeping the existing fireplace & stone surround as well as the hardwood flooring, while selecting new, modern complimentary finishes in the surrounding areas.

The kitchen now opens to the dining space so both the chef and guests can enjoy the water views. The kitchen boasts 21st century appliances and amenities yet blends in with the mid-century vibe. The existing wood stair balusters were replaced with a modern aluminum and glass railing providing a cleaner finish so the view is the focus.
