KITCHEN + BATH DESIGN

Designers are embracing collected and curated spaces, creating lively homes imbued with touches of color and energetic patterns. In addition to blue, green is gaining favor in kitchen cabinetry with wood details and brass hardware. Deep, moody, monochromatic rooms as well as using statement wallpapers are popular design choices.

WATER AND THE DESIRE TO LIVE

NEAR IT IS AT THE HEART of several homes featured in this issue. Whether working within the tight confines of a Seattle neighborhood bordering Puget Sound, bucolic Gig Harbor, or the San Juan Islands, each architect, designer, contractor, and landscape design company has served up remarkable ways to embrace the power of water to enhance the wellbeing of their client’s everyday life.

Land Morphology teamed with Massucco Warner Interior Design, Green Man Landscape & Design, Wygal Builders and Studio AM Architects to transform a dated San Juan Island home and its surrounding woods into a beautifully landscaped, sunny athletic paradise replete with tennis and pickle ball courts, pool, spa, and party barn able to accommodate large events.

Dovetail General Contractors combined talents with Heliotrope Architects on a West Seattle remodel to mitigate street noise by stacking a modern 3-story home behind a private courtyard and opening its interiors toward views of Puget Sound punctuated by artful concrete and wooden walls.

A one-acre plot on a private beach in Gig Harbor’s Driftwood Cove neighborhood is home to an artist inspired by nature. Seattle Architect Brett Lindsay of S9 Architecture, interior designer Aimee Meisgeier of AM Interior Design and Magie Wolf of Koncept Builders took their cues from the beachside habitat and delivered rooflines and natural light-filled interiors sure to spark creativity.

A Portland couple’s 7,500 sq. ft. modern home features an unfettered view of the coastal range through a 30' sliding door with no support post – a definite challenge artfully designed by architect Rick Berry of Portland-based Scott Edwards Architecture and brilliantly executed by Hamish

Murray Construction. Katy Krider Interior Design underscores the owners’ “interior as canvas” concept with furnishings that bow to quiet minimalism to focus on the owners’ collection of art.

Seattle designer Emily Ruff of Cohesively Curated worked closely with a family of five to combat the outdated elements of their 1990s kitchen makeover, beginning by replacing a 5-sided island with a smaller squared off one. Embracing a dark palette, with cabinetry in dark Iron Ore set against white handmade farmhouse Clé tile backsplash added bespoke elements.

Eye On Design pages are filled with the latest inspiration to redo your interiors and outdoor spaces, along with where to source fabrics, wallcoverings, lighting, cabinetry, home furnishings, and all things kitchen and bath.

DRIFTWOOD COVE

written by MELISSA DALTON photography by MIRANDA ESTES

THE FIRST IDEA FOR THIS HOME’S DESIGN CAME TO BRETT LINDSAY WHILE WALKING HIS DOG ON THE BEACH.

“My dog started chasing sea gulls and they just took off, running and flying,” remembers Lindsay. The architect’s attention was caught by the flock’s wing formation in flight, which ultimately inspired the vision for the home’s alternating shed rooflines. It was a fitting start to a project that is an ode to nature for its homeowner, who’s an artist. “One of her inspirations is nature,” says interior designer Aimee Meisgeier. “So, we wanted to invoke the sense of the natural world throughout the house.”

The pair – Lindsay runs S9 Architecture and Meisgeier founded AM Interior Design – collaborated with contractor Magie Wolf of Koncept Builders throughout the three-year design and build process to do just that. They wove together sweeping architectural gestures, like the roofline, with smaller detailed moments, to foster an environment that would bring its owner closer to her favorite source of creativity.

This started with an excellent one-acre site in the Driftwood Cove neighborhood of Gig Harbor, Washington. It’s accessed by a long driveway lined with towering old growth Fir trees, and has private beach frontage. “It’s a pretty magical place,” says Meisgeier of the lot. “The last time that I was there, it was dusk and I could hear owls hooting in the trees, and the cove is so calm.”

Once the house was sited, the design process for both architect and interior designer drew on the four elements of nature – including earth, air, fire, and water – as reference points inside and out. This begins at the front, where visitors are guided through a small open-air entry court between the driveway and front door. A glass awning protects from the elements, while underfoot, there’s a path of custom concrete pavers with water flowing around their base. Landscaped garden beds anchor the tableau, while the sound of bubbling water gurgles from a nearby rock sculpture fountain.

The entry then feeds into the main living spaces, which are all combined together at the center of the 5,792 square foot plan. Once inside, a plethora of windows capture immediate views of the peaceful cove. Overhead, the alternating ceiling planes, clad in clear cedar tongue-and-groove

S9 Architecture and AM Interior Design recently completed this Gig Harbor home infused with nature. ABOVE Exterior finishes include Porcelanosa Age Dark Nature tile and Americana Bingaman Thermally Modified Poplar siding. RIGHT In the kitchen, the waterfall quartzite island is “Silky Polished” from Architectural Surfaces and populated with Restoration Hardware stools. Above the Miele cooktop and range, find an Olympia Tile and Stone Stilio Wave Blanco back splash by Thompson Tile.

“We didn’t want anything obstructing the view,” says Meisgeier of the fixtures and furnishings. To that end, the clear glass raindrops of a custom chandelier by Studio Bel Vetro from the Kelly Forslund Showroom at Seattle Design Center maintains transparency. Low-lying furniture picks, like the Crate and Barrel leather chairs in the living room and Restoration Hardware chairs around the Williams Sonoma Home table, promote further connection to the cove outside. A custom DaVinci see-through fireplace is surrounded by Porcelanosa Savage Dark Nature tiles with subtle veining. Walls were painted Sherwin Williams High Reflective White to showcase the art.

throughout, further open up the interiors. “It reminds me of sitting under a tree and looking up into the canopy,” says Lindsay of the ceiling. “Like branches going in different directions.”

High windows follow the roofline and bring in lots of natural light, as well as an airiness, further complemented by wide stacking glass doors that open to the backyard, a cantilevered loft hovering over the main space, and the suspended wood tread of the elegant staircase. Material choices riff off of the earth element, says Meisgeier, in everything from their color palette, like the primary bathroom tile that evokes the tones of beach sand, to their materiality, as in the thick quartzite slab that covers the kitchen counters. “That looks like the waves during a storm,” says Meisgeier. “We always wanted to bring nature indoors in any way that we could.”

The focal point in the main room is the inky charcoal fireplace façade covered in porcelain tile that soars from the floor to the double-height ceiling. “I wanted it to be dramatic,” says Meisgeier. “We had the tongue and groove on the ceiling, and mostly white walls, because that will showcase art the best. So, I wanted something that grounded the space.” The tile wraps a three-sided fireplace down below, and higher up, forms an alcove for a cluster of nine television screens. The assemblage can act as art display for the owner’s work – with pictures featured on

ABOVE LEFT A custom staircase with white oak treads inset with LED lights, a stringer by Splice Welding and Design, and railing system by Missoula Blacksmith, lends airiness to the room.

each screen, or across all of them – as well as an excellent large-format television screen, viewable from all different directions due to the overall connectivity of the floorplan.

Since the homeowner likes to entertain family and friends, it was important that the open layout encourage flow, especially between the interior and the backyard, but be balanced with various alcoves that offer extra seating, or spots to retreat. To that end, furniture groupings form easy conversation clusters, dominated by the large living room sectional that can seat a lot of people at once for movie nights.

In the windowed nooks, Meisgeier then placed swivel chairs that let the owner sit comfortably to engage in her favorite pastimes, like reading or putting together a puzzle, or just taking in the view. “She can either swivel to the left and see the sunrise, or swivel to the right and see the sunset,” says Meisgeier. “I’m a huge proponent of the multifunctionality of swivel chairs.”

LEFT In the primary bathroom, the custom feature wall separating the soaking tub from the shower was built on-site, and wrapped in Porcelanosa Tile, Ice Nebraska in ‘Tea.’ The freestanding bath is a Kohler Veil from Keller Supply Kitchen & Bath Showcase, and above it, there’s a Livex Lighting branch light. ABOVE LEFT In the guest room, an Article bed sits with Room and Board pendants. ABOVE RIGHT Landmark Tile, Attitude in ‘Warm Sand’ covers the primary shower walls.

The entry court at the front of the house is an open-air affair, with artful landscaping, plants, water elements, and illuminated by Tech Lighting Model lighting. On the exterior façade, there are Fleetwood windows and cedar siding, and a privacy screen conceals the outdoor shower. Ribbons of high windows tucked under the flaring rooflines bring in light, but don’t sacrifice privacy.

The cantilevered lounge on the second-floor is another cozy place with sight lines to everything from the cove, to the living room’s movie screen. “That’s one of the family’s favorite spots to go with a cup of coffee, to relax and enjoy the view,” says Meisgeier. The primary suite on the main floor, as well as the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms, provide even more space to withdraw, with one bathroom even boasting a luxe steam shower. “The owner wanted her guests to be as comfortable as possible,” says Lindsay. In the primary bathroom, high windows create a view to the trees, and two varieties of tile differentiates the soaking tub from the shower tucked behind a feature wall. “It’s a moment in time being in each area,” says Meisgeier. “But they all work nicely together.”

Exterior spaces were deftly woven so as to extend the comfort outside, including an outdoor kitchen accessed from the main kitchen by a pass-through window, a patio off the primary bedroom with a hot tub and firepit, and even an outdoor shower off the primary bathroom. All of which combines into a home that will never cease to both inspire and comfort its owner.

“We all wanted the same thing,” says Meisgeier. “A beautiful house for the owner to enjoy, to be with her family, to be creative, and get inspired every day when she walks out of her bedroom.”

Describe your design style or philosophy. A home should reflect the people who live inside so I make sure my clients know that they are being heard throughout the design process and that I have their best interest at heart. A trusting client-designer relationship is the foundation upon which a beautiful, unique home is created. I assure my clients that I respect their lifestyles and design boundaries when I am helping them make decisions. I want them to feel confident in their choices for years to come because when a project ends for a designer, it is just the start for the clients and their new homes.

What’s the first thing you notice when you walk into a room?

The furniture layout and how it makes a room feel. Is everything pushed to the far walls creating a big awkward empty space in the middle? Is there too much furniture crammed into the room obstructing the flow of circulation? Is the scale of the furniture appropriate for the space? I also notice lighting or lack there of. Is there an opportunity to add more decorative lighting such as wall sconces or a statement chandelier to elevate the space? Do the bathrooms have adequate lighting especially in the vanity area? Lighting can make or break the design of a room.

What is your dream project?

I would love to design a home in the Methow Valley which is located just outside the North Cascades. It is one of my favorite areas in Washington state; in fact, I got married there. I love how the homes in the area strive to blend seamlessly into their environment with their material selections, not disrupting the natural beauty of the valley.

What part of the design process do you find most rewarding?

I love seeing all the selected finish materials such as architectural wall features, tile, flooring, and counter tops get installed. It is the greatest feeling walking into a job site and seeing that progress happening. Those materials really start to add the personality and the flair to the project.

In your opinion, what is the most fundamental element of interior design? Where do you start on a new project?

In my opinion, proper use of space and scale are the most fundamental elements of interior design. Rooms that do not flow properly or items that are too large or small for the space really stand out to me when I enter an area. I start with space first, seeing how all areas transition with one another. Then address the scale of selected items to make sure they feel right for the space.

Was design something you’ve always felt strongly about or was it a gradual process of finding your voice?

I have been interested in design ever since I was little. I remember my parents redoing a childhood bedroom of mine and asking for my opinion. My dream bedroom at age eight consisted of yellow wallpaper with white flowers on it, ruffled white valances on the windows, a white brass day bed with yellow floral bedding and a ruffled bed skirt. Even at that early age, I had a clear vision of a design direction and I remember being so proud of the result.

Favorite era of design?

Hands down, the Mid-Century architecture of 1960’s Palm Springs.

Favorite detail of your childhood home?

A wood burning stove fireplace we had in the downstairs den. It made the room so cozy.

Three words that most appropriately sum up your approach to design are…

Ambience, function and patience…lots and lots of patience.

“HEWN,” WHICH SWEPT THE 2022 NW NATURAL STREET OF DREAMS® AWARDS IN NEWBERG, OREGON, WAS BUILT BY CHANDLER WILLCUTS OF DEL BOCA VISTA, LLC, IN COLLABORATION WITH INTERIOR DESIGNER BRITTAINY TIFFANY OF TIFFANY HOME DESIGN, AND RESIDENTIAL DRAFTSMAN ALYSSA WAVRA OF WAVRA DESIGN COMPANY.

IN THE WORLD OF RESIDENTIAL

HOME BUILDING, the builder is often brought on by an architect to realize his/her vision in conjunction with an interior designer. The Home Builders Association of Metro Portland (HBA) turned that paradigm on its end in 1975 when it initiated a yearly summer PNW event that features the crème de la crème in residential construction. Last year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams® (SOD) location in Newberg, situated high atop a crest overlooking the wine country, was the inspiration for Del Boca Vista builder Chandler Willcuts’ vision of a rustic Napa Valley style home. “Hewn,” so christened for the ample use of Tualatin company Hewn Elements’ wood products throughout the home, was powered by Pacific Office Automation to create the ultimate experience of working from home “without leaving the view.”

“The HBA approached us in October 2021 for the July 2022 opening,” says Willcuts, who put together a team worthy of the demands necessitated by such an enormous time crunch. Although the team Willcuts created had never worked together previously, his trust in their talents gave Brittainy Tiffany and Alyssa Wavra the ability to work unfettered toward a highly successful outcome – sweeping 18 out of 20 SOD Awards.

Alyssa Wavra of Wavra Design Company, who did the architectural drawings, felt an instant connection to Willcuts’ vision. “Alyssa knew what I was going for and nailed it in three revisions,” says Willcuts. “Everything we did,” adds Wavra, “was around the view. With two primary suites on the main level and the push for multi-generational living inside and out. We also included a private ensuite bedroom on the second floor.” Upstairs, an oversized rec room resides alongside a hidden speakeasy that can double as a home office.

“It’s tough to build a spec show home that would normally take a year to build in just a few short months,” admits Willcuts, who lost a week to a rare April 2022 snowstorm. He chose Brittainy Tiffany, of Tiffany Home Design, to partner with him to build this rare four bedroom,

five and a half bath dream home. “Chandler and I were in sync from the beginning,” says Brittainy, who calls the award-winning home her eighth SOD venture. By envisioning a prospective buyer who would purchase such a home, she was able to create such “takeaway” ideas for show visitors as the Tile Bar’s Tropez Foliage Blanco oversized tiles in the powder bath as a twist on today’s trending wallpaper ideas.

Central to any home, however, is the kitchen. For Willcuts and Tiffany, the stunning Bertazzoni stove delivers a timeless farmhouse appeal amidst the rustically vaulted great room. Crowning it with a last-minute wood-trimmed rangehood by Hewn to replace the initial metal one solved supply chain issues. “Sometimes,” notes Tiffany, “when you have to make a quick decision to alter an original design, it’s better than what it would have been.”

Adding a touch of glamour to the rustic tongue and groove spruce great room ceiling are a series of three Matrix Havana gold fluted glass chandeliers by Varaluz from Globe Lighting. “Each crystal,” recalls Willcuts, who gives a big nod to his talented subcontractors, “had to be twisted in individually. It took 24 hours straight to install them. So, we fed the team, and they took turns sleeping.”

Tiffany worked closely with Trinity Flooring of Portland to create a unique unexpected “wow” for the tile and countertops throughout. “We wanted to allow the beautiful elements in the home to soften it and make it more timeless,” she says. “I kept it all in a neutral palette with more texture than color and relied on live plants in the home and the outdoor landscape for color.”

The Speakeasy was Willcuts’ inspiration, which incorporates a venting system to allow for cigar-smoking. Tiffany added the built-ins and the Regina Andrew chandelier to enhance the cozy, surprise element. “What I learned from working on a house of this caliber,” adds Tiffany, who calls collaborating with Willcuts ‘A Dream,’ “is that it takes all trades working together to come out as beautifully as it did.”

Favorite part of the design process?

My favorite part of the design process is seeing the client vision come to life. My favorite question to ask clients early in the discovery process is, “Every home tells a story, what are you wanting your home to say?” This pushes the clients to think through how they want to live in the home, so the design process comes together from there.

Can you tell us about a recent collaboration that was integral to one your designs?

I was fortunate enough to be the interior design firm for the first custom residential home in the U.S. designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma. As part of this amazing collaboration, Kengo Kuma and his team flew me to Japan to tour his design projects in Toyko, and then spend time visiting traditional temples and culture in Kyoto. It was a once in a lifetime design experience.

What is your dream project?

I have been fortunate to work on many amazing design projects throughout my career. One dream would be to collaborate and design for a boutique hotel in Oregon Wine Country.

Tell us a bit about your approach to design and what has shaped your vision.

My design approach is pretty simple. I like to incorporate what I call a “high/low” approach to each space we are designing. Meaning, we could have a gorgeous custom sofa mixed in with a cost value rug or pillows. My goal is to always work within the client’s budgets and timelines. I attend furniture markets multiple times a year to stay on top of design trends and look for the latest new furniture and accessory lines.

What aspects of your background or upbringing have shaped your design principles and philosophies?

I had a love for interior design and fashion at a young age and would flip through design and real estate magazines. My mother was a real estate agent, so I saw firsthand how a home can create emotional connections. I have a degree in business and psychology and have found both have been very helpful creating my company.

What are a few indulgences you like integrating into a space? Incorporating elements such as beautiful light fixtures can turn any room into a truly custom-designed space. I also like to add wood elements such as beams, natural ceiling wood treatments or for a modern look, beautiful wood vertical slats. Adding a fun unexpected moment with stunning wallpaper can instantly create a WOW.

What is your favorite space in your own home and why?

My laundry room. When we built our home, it was one of the spaces I took extra time to make sure the space was going to be functional, and more importantly, pretty. I have a large family which means a lot of laundry.

Favorite way to spend a weekend in the Northwest?

My favorite activity is to visit Oregon Wine Country. The Willamette Valley is known for its picturesque vineyards and quant towns. I enjoy finding new boutique wineries, farmers markets and then staying at the Allison Inn for a fabulous dinner/stay.

What is the best moment of the day?

The best part of the day is early morning, before my family wakes up and I can enjoy my coffee and plan the day.

Prized possession?

In my early twenties, I backpacked through Europe for three months. I knew I didn’t want to just bring home t-shirts, so I invested what little money I had and bought beautiful handmade Christmas ornaments throughout my travels. Each one has such a memorable story.

ELEVATED

URBAN ROOFTOP

A RECLAIMED ROOF TRANSFORMS INTO DYNAMIC OUTDOOR LIVING AND GARDEN SPACE COMPLEMENTARY TO THE STYLE AND GRANDEUR OF THE EXISTING HISTORIC HOME AND PROPERTY. THE TRIO OF AREAS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF NATURAL STONE, WEATHERED STEEL, AND HARDY PLANTS TO CREATE A PRIVATE OASIS IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN HOMEOWNER, SCOTT COLNER, decided to replace his free-standing garage, he knew he wanted the replacement structure to take on multiple purposes. “The existing garage was an eyesore from both the street and the house,” said Colner. “It was crumbling from age and floated unconnected to the home and mature landscape.”

The structure was typical of small garage spaces in the historic neighborhood. Added 18 years after the home, it didn’t fall under the strict guidelines of the landmark registry, but it was necessary to meet more stringent code requirements.

The new studio garage was built to withstand the weight of potential outdoor living and garden. Colner had worked extensively on the property with Pete Wilson Stoneworks. He brought on landscape architect Rose Brady Keane to bring his vision to life.

“We wanted to respect the style of the existing home and garden, but not be afraid to do something different,” said Keane. “Using a deep sense of craft as the guide, we created a highly curated space where every element is thoughtful, will mature beautifully, and blends seamlessly to the existing environment.”

Off the kitchen, a terrace offers plein-air dining with a view to the higher rooftop lounge. Both utilize a pedestal paving system with porcelain tile. A lower, more casual, natural stone patio transitions to a columnar basalt boulder feature in the existing garden.

Privacy along the adjacent property line is achieved through a custom steel trellis feature fabricated by David Bertman Designs and large planters containing espaliered pears from Portland Nursery. Other edibles, including herbs and strawberries, flourish at the base of the planters.

“Because the garden was built on top of the owner’s new garage and studio, it was important that all built components be designed in such a way that they did not attach directly to the rooftop and that they that they could be disassembled and removed if necessary,” said Keane.

There are also limits to how much weight a rooftop garden can withstand. Planting and irrigation needs, soil composition, and the weight of the containers and built components were all factors to consider.

“The project had a lot of complexity,” said Wilson, “But it was expertly envisioned and executed by a dream collaboration between homeowner and craftspeople. I felt lucky to be a part of this group and creating this space. It’s very special.”

“This was a passion project for me,” Colner said. “It’s a welcoming space that gets a lot of use from family and friends. It was beautifully conceived and executed.”

LEFT Furniture and planters are free-floating, including groundcover and sedums from Blooming Nursery styled on moveable trays. The pavers are a pedestal design that allows gas, lighting, and irrigation to flow hidden underneath. The planters cleverly hide the propane tanks for the firepit. BELOW David Bertman Designs fabricated custom planter boxes, geometric firepit, curved bench, intermediate stair, steel trellis, and steel siding. BELOW LEFT Modular Paving Systems installed a pedestal paving system for both the dining terrace and upper lounge level utilizing Belgard “Pierre Bleue Sablee.” Stone from local quarries and repurposed from other projects include basalt cobblestones and columnar bronze basalt accent stones.

When you created your own firm, what were your goals? Was there something different that you wanted to do?

Early on I worked for multiple firms on public, private, urban, rural, large, and small projects. I enjoyed those years, and they were an important learning experience. I think I have always wanted to work for myself, but I wasn’t sure how that would take shape. Becoming my own boss seemed a necessary step to clarify my own values and goals relative to design and work in general. When we moved to Portland with small kids it seemed the logical step for me, it gave me the flexibility I needed and the ability to grow at my own pace.

Describe your design philosophy.

At times I have struggled with the perception that design is a luxury. Ultimately, I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from a well-designed space, and nature-even in a small urban garden-can offer restoration and connection. I think good design is thoughtful problem solving, careful observation and listening. There is inherent beauty and interest in so much of the world around us. Good landscape architecture can harness and enhance that and add something new, delightful & unexpected.

Can you trace your interest in landscape architecture and design back to a particular influence?

My mother is a landscape architect, so that way of thinking and looking at the world was always present. My childhood was imbued with a deep awareness and experience of natural and planned landscapes. I grew up on the San Francisco Bay and spent summers exploring family farms in southern Oregon and the central valley of California, the redwood forests on the northern California coast and the High Sierra. I come from a family with a history of cultivation, design and stewardship of the land that includes farmers, landscape architects, planners, environmentalists, gardeners, nurserymen, and good old-fashioned back-to-the-landers.

Favorite part of the design process?

There is a point after you assess a project: client needs, site opportunities and constraints, regulatory framework, site context, etc. and determine the project program that you sit down and let it all percolate and draw, think and struggle a bit until something clicks. I remember a T.A. in graduate school calling this “the design flash”, which at the time seemed sort of pretentious to me, but I think it’s really just the point at which you feel like the parts move into place and something intangible emerges that is simply how a space works and feels.

What are some of the current influences on your work?

I really seem to be gravitating toward the work of women artists, designers, writers and thinkers of all kinds these days… landscape architects like Christine Ten Eyck, sculptors, and painters, interior architects, editor and publisher of Wonderground Georgina Reid, even cartoonists, probably because of their ability to distill an idea with such economy.

What gardens inspire you?

Ancient gardens and agricultural landscapes-middle eastern/Islamic, Japanese, Chinese. The Alhambra, the gardens of Kyoto, Parisian storefronts and courtyards, traditional English gardens.

Best travel destination for inspiration?

Cities-San Francisco and Paris are places where I’ve spent a lot of time walking. Hiking or backpacking in the Cascade Range.

Three words that most appropriately sum up your approach to design are…

Collaboration, Intention, Delight

Dovetail General Contractors and Heliotrope Architects partner to craft this West Seattle home for Josiah Johnson and his wife. A private courtyard in the front doubles as outdoor space and shields the home from the street. “Over the past couple of years, it’s grown and turned into this secret garden, which has been really great,” says Josiah. A custom fold-down awning against the dark-stained cedar channel siding conceals a barbeque.

OASIS ON THE WATERFRONT

DOVETAIL GENERAL CONTRACTORS AND HELIOTROPE ARCHITECTS CONVERT A TRICKY URBAN LOT ON A BUSY WEST SEATTLE STREET INTO AN UNEXPECTED REFUGE BY CONNECTING THE HOME’S INTERIOR TO PUGET SOUND VIEWS AND A PRIVATE COURTYARD.

The dark-stained cedar channel siding continues from outside to inside for a seamless effect in the living room. Stacking glass doors lead to an exterior deck and frame the view, and a cantilevered glass railing with minimal top rail ensures visibility. “Every time you look out, it’s like you’re looking at a different snapshot,” says Josiah. The sectional and two chairs are from Inform Interiors.

IN 2016, JOSIAH AND HIS WIFE DECIDED TO RELOCATE THEIR GROWING FAMILY. Their daughter was two, and their second on the way, so they knew they needed more square-footage than their current condo, and also wanted to be closer to family in West Seattle. Then they came across a listing for a home just a block from where Josiah’s grandparents had built their own house in the 40s, with a trail down to the very beach that Josiah had frequented growing up. “I spent a lot of time in this neighborhood as a kid,” says Josiah. “So, lo and behold, when a property became available, we jumped on it.”

Nostalgia wasn’t the only appeal. The lot came with a view of the Puget Sound, which the couple had always dreamed of having, although not much else about the existing house fit them well. The couple preferred a more modern aesthetic, and still needed the extra space. On the recommendation of a friend, they reached out to Dovetail General Contractors for a remodel and addition. “We really like modern design and Dovetail had a great portfolio in that regard,” says Josiah.

The contractor then recommended Heliotrope Architects, as the two companies had worked together on numerous projects. “There’s just a lot of trust that’s been built over the years,” says Dovetail project manager Ashley Sullivan. “Heliotrope are very strong advocates for their vision, communicate clearly, and we have a good understanding of their design intent to be able to perform.”

Looking through the firm’s portfolio, the couple liked Heliotrope’s approach. “I didn’t feel like they had a set kind of house that they design,” says Josiah. “Each was very unique to the location and client.” This proved essential once everyone realized that building new on the couple’s lot would be more costeffective than a down-to-the-studs overhaul. “There was going to have to be so much retrofitting to meet code,” says Josiah. “It was going to get super expensive to ‘MacGyver’ it to a point where we felt safe, comfortable, and were getting the design we wanted.”

Still, the lot had many constraints. Shaped like the state of Oklahoma with that three-foot-wide path to the beach, there were the usual building setbacks from the sidewalk and neighbors, and the need to keep a certain distance from the shoreline. Additionally, the location on a busy arterial street meant noise, privacy, and the sweeping passage of headlights shining into the living room at night were all issues. Then there was the large tree out front.

To everyone’s surprise, the large evergreen Photinia turned out to be a city heritage tree – so learned when a city tour showed up one day to look at it – and would need to be protected. Fortunately, the architects had already decided it was essential. “The tree was a huge component of the privacy screening for the house and central to the design of the outdoor spaces,” says architect Joe Herrin.

In order to meet the spatial needs of the family, the new 3,500-square-foot home utilizes all of the available buildable space, with three floors fit against the lot’s slope, which drops a full story from street to rear. Now, the main floor and living spaces sit level with the street-side courtyard, with three bedrooms and laundry placed above, and auxiliary rooms, like a yoga studio and a media room level with a water-side garden, below.

Josiah loves to cook, especially with family, so the kitchen needed to be accommodating and the dining table large enough to fit everyone. Statuary marble covers the counter, backsplash, and island, and is complemented by custom cabinets made by Dovetail, finished in a Benjamin Moore Silver Satin color. The counter stools are from Bassam Fellow and the island pendant lights by &Tradition. Appliances include a sleek Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf wall ovens.

The outdoor shower connected to the primary suite bathroom is another seamless indoor/outdoor moment. Frosted glass on one side fosters privacy, and a clear letterbox window enables views to the water. A living green wall softens the interior, and no ceiling makes it possible to shower under the stars. RIGHT The wood flooring continues inside, and the rift white oak vanity topped in statuary marble was crafted by Dovetail.

Heliotrope project manager Chris Wong refers to the house’s form as “stacking boxes.” Adds Herrin: “Basically, we took two boxes and split them apart. Then we sat another box on top of that which spans across. The space that’s created in between the three boxes is the living, dining, and entry.” The architects capped the opening on the front and back facades with wide stacking glass doors, fostering an incredible transparency through the middle of the home, and connecting to the distant water views from all angles. To ensure this transparency was balanced with privacy from the street, a cast concrete wall by Fieldworks Custom Concrete bisects the front yard, neatly dividing it into two courtyards, one public and one private.

In the public-facing courtyard, there’s the driveway, garage access, and an artful entry sequence – an “outdoor vestibule,” says Herrin, that mitigates the transition from the street. There’s also the heritage tree, which was painstakingly preserved throughout construction. For it, Dovetail consulted with an arborist, who suggested bringing in a compressed air-powered tool. “That blows air to expose the roots, so you get a better idea of where they are, and which ones absolutely need to be avoided,” says Sullivan. Under the arborist’s supervision, the team drove pin piles into the earth to support the concrete wall without impairing the tree’s growth.

The fireplace column is wrapped in rift-cut white oak veneer panels that are grain-matched for an unbroken effect. The cast concrete wall from Fieldworks Custom Concrete continues inside, and down to the basement. The bespoke dining table is by Dovetail, and surrounded by Maruni chairs from Inform Interiors. TOP RIGHT “Since the West side of the site is a full story below, the middle floor gets its own outdoor space, and the lower floor gets its own yard,” says Wong, yet there’s still visual connection. The hot tub has a custom retractable wood cover, fabricated by Dovetail and designed by Heliotrope. BOTTOM RIGHT Windows by Quantum Windows and Doors.

A split in the concrete wall forms the basis of a custom metal water feature that lines both courtyards, so the sound of trickling water buffers street noise. In the private courtyard, a patio of cast concrete pavers is surrounded by a lush landscape by Ohashi Landscape Services, and perimeter fences layered with tall plantings foster seclusion. Josiah also needed a covered spot to grill year-round that was in close proximity to the indoor kitchen, so there’s a custom awning that closes up and hides the barbecue when not in use. “Now I can be out there grilling in the snow,” says Josiah.

While the front façade doesn’t have many windows – there’s one behind a wood screen in the upstairs laundry room and one that flanks the front door – “That was intentional,” says Herrin. That approach enables all of the windows to be in “conversation” with the water on the other side of the house.

This starts at the front door, as one enters and catches a glimpse of the Puget Sound through the floating stair tread and a panel of glass. Turning left offers up a wider view in the main living areas, with an exterior deck surrounded by a transparent railing so as not to hinder the sights. Then there’s a “postcard” of a window in the kitchen, slotted above a bookshelf. “We’ll see ferries, sailboats, orca whales, or sea lions,” says Josiah. “It’s like a National Geographic picture outside the windows every time we turn around.”

Highly crafted details, courtesy of Dovetail’s in-house wood and metal fabrication shops, are woven throughout the home, from the front yard’s metal fountain and the hammer-formed brass pull on the front door, to the custom dining table and rift-cut oak veneer panels painstakingly aligned to wrap the four sides of the fireplace column. “The partnership between Dovetail and Heliotrope was pretty amazing,” says Josiah. “We felt really good about the whole process. And I pinch myself every day when I wake up here.”

When you founded your own firm, what were your goals? How have those evolved over time?

We started our firm in 2000 with the goal to create works that withstand the test of time. Works that weather well, that transcend style and trend, that resonate emotionally with the user and that have a lasting positive impact on their environment – whether that be an urban retail environment or a rural home. While these remain first principles, designing and building more environmentally sustainable work has become a major priority. We have also become increasingly focused on the character and quality of our studio culture, helping it become a thriving, nurturing, collaboratively creative environment for our team and those with which we partner.

Tell us a bit about your approach to architecture and what has shaped your vision.

We try to start each project as a blank page, minimizing preconceptions. We approach the work as modernists, with an interest in form, function, context, etc., but we don’t approach it with a preconceived design vocabulary. We prefer to get to know the client, site and project parameters and see where it all leads. The process of discovery is very exciting for us.

How would you describe your firm’s design style?

We’re focused on context, value and quality. It’s important for our values and those of our client or users (or community at large) to drive the characteristics of the architecture throughout the process. We explore how context shapes what we design, how it sits on the land, and how it orients to a view or away from street noise. Qualitative concerns determine material selection, roof shape, and detailing. It’s through answering these types of value-driven questions that we find more enduring architectural solutions.

Outside of architecture, what are you currently interested in and how is it influencing your design thinking?

Joe: I have a lifelong fascination with boats and am always interested in ways we can learn from a well-designed yacht’s efficient use of space, its self-contained systems, and the way beauty can be derived through form following function.

Mike: I am interested in the creative process as manifested by those operating in fields outside of architecture, such as musicians, writers, filmmakers, and artists. I am also interested (but very much a lay person) in the behavioral and social sciences and what makes us all tick.

Favorite way to spend a weekend in the Northwest?

Joe: We tend to spend many, if not most, weekends at our beach cabin on Orcas Island. In the summer we are either cycling or boating around the San Juans and north into British Columbia.

Mike: I like to work in the office on Saturdays and work in the yard on Sundays. I hang out with my wife and kids, read, or hit a favorite restaurant. I hike or ski when possible.

Favorite travel destination for inspiration?

Joe: I visited Japan for the first time last October and it was a kind of paradise for me. Both the historic and contemporary architecture there is incredibly inspiring, as is the natural environment (and the food – can’t not mention the food…)

Mike: NYC, Tokyo, Europe. Just bought plane tickets to Morocco for the spring and expecting gobs of inspiration there.

MAPLE ROCK

THANKS TO AN ATTENTIVE TEAM, INCLUDING SCOTT EDWARDS ARCHITECTURE, HAMISH MURRAY CONSTRUCTION, AND KATY KRIDER INTERIOR DESIGN, THIS PORTLAND HOME IS POISED TO SERVE ITS OWNERS NOW – AND WELL INTO THE FUTURE – BY BALANCING ENTERTAINING SPACE WITH SPOTS TO WIND DOWN, CREATING A “CANVAS” TO ENJOY THEIR FAVORITE ART AND MUSIC, AND INTEGRATING AGING-IN-PLACE DETAILS.

The kitchen, designed with the German kitchen manufacturer Bulthaup and in consultation with interior designer Katy Krider, features dark grey lacquer cabinet fronts with white quartz counters, a white back-painted glass backsplash, and walnut cabinet interiors by Bulthaup. The Gaggenau stovetop and refrigerator are also from Bulthaup, while the inset ceiling range hood above the island was supplied by Eastbank Contractor Appliances. The massive sliding door is by Quantum Windows & Doors.

RICK BERRY CAN SUM UP THE ETHOS OF HIS WORK IN TWO WORDS: PEOPLE FIRST.

“That’s our motto here at our architecture firm,” says Berry, principal designer at the Portland-based Scott Edwards Architecture. “I listen to exactly what they want, and then create the interest and excitement, so that they look forward to coming home every day.”

That purpose came into play for this recent custom project on a gently sloping, half-acre site between Portland and Beaverton. The clients needed a place to retire, and to easily host their adult children and extended families. When they couldn’t find anything existing that fit, they decided to build on the vacant lot that they’d purchased years before, starting the process by tapping Hamish Murray Construction, whom they’d worked with on various projects since 2007. Berry and project manager Ryan McCluckie from Scott Edwards, and Katy Krider Interior Design, then joined the team. “I always say that we basically had a must-have list and a wish list,” says the homeowner. “And they gave us everything on both.”

The resulting three-level, 7500-square-foot home forms an L-shape that wraps an entry court. Three guest ensuite bedrooms sit above the garage, while the main volume is lined with glass on the front and back sides and layered with slat screens for visual interest and privacy.

Inside, the living room occupies a double-height space, with the kitchen and dining room nestled under a lower ceiling. An upper-level catwalk captures sightlines into the home, and out the front and back at once. With this layout, the guest wing above the garage can essentially be closed off – it’s even equipped with a separate HVAC system so as not to be conditioning unused rooms. “Most of the time it’s just the two of us,” says the homeowner. “We love that when we walk into the main living area, it almost feels like we’re in an apartment. It has everything we need.”

A 30-foot-wide sliding glass door spans the living spaces, with no support post in sight to mar the views of the Coast Range. “That was on my husband’s ‘must-have’ list,” says the homeowner. “It was very important to him that we didn’t have any support post that obscured the view or interfered with the living, or the entertaining space.”

To accomplish that, a hefty structural steel beam encompasses the opening. “It was designed so well,” says contractor Hamish Murray. “There are so many loads coming down on top of that door. For it to slide nicely, there’s no tolerance for movement. So, that is a huge beam that runs the whole backside, weighing about 10,000 pounds and requiring a hundred-ton crane to lift it into place. It was quite the undertaking.” And one that the designers were excited to see executed so well by Murray’s team. “Hamish is a dream,” says Berry. “He’s super professional and easygoing. He just understood the architecture from the very beginning, and when it got to the details, he was very thorough and brought up good ideas for constructability.”

Now, the glass doors slide open to a sleekly covered outdoor room ideal for the couple to entertain. There, an opening in the roof is fitted with a louvered screen to modulate sun exposure and provide cover during the rainy season. A cedar slat wall picks up the theme from the front façade and provides privacy for the adjacent endless pool.

In the times that either homeowner prefers to be alone, they each have their own “go-to” spaces, with her office stacked on the second floor above his music room. The challenge there was to accommodate his love of music, often played at loud volumes, with her need for contemplative quiet to write, so the team

brought in a sound technician to calibrate the soundproofing. “Now he can play his music as loud as he likes in there, and she can’t hear a thing,” says Murray.

For the interior plan, the couple hit it off with Katy Krider of Katy Krider Interior Design. “She’s another great listener,” notes the homeowner. Krider remembers their first conversation being about the “interior as canvas.” “They have collected pieces throughout their lives and travels, and a lot of the pieces are very large, colorful, and graphic,” says Krider. “To me, that was the cue that the interior wanted to be more minimalist, more quiet, and basically a canvas for the collection of artwork.”

To that end, the palette in the main living spaces was kept simple, with Krider balancing “warmth and cool,” and “light and dark,” by combining wood features – like walnut floors, custom casework, and cedar-encased ceilings and overhangs – with white walls and charcoal accents. At one end of the main room, the soaring fireplace façade is covered in textured, large format granite tile, while at the other, the

Aging-in-place details, including flush thresholds to prevent tripping and an elevator, round out the home, so that it accommodates the owners now, and well into the future, as well as checking off every item on their lists. “They literally gave us everything we asked for, and more,” says the homeowner.

Each of your projects is full of fresh and interesting ideas— how do you stay inspired?

My inspiration can come from just about anywhere. I am always finding inspiration in nature, a trip to the Portland Art Museum, travel and great design work that resonates with me. Every project is unique, and I try to establish the elements of inspiration early in the design process, which is an interactive process with my clients.

You’ve worked on a variety of projects, has there been an experience that has significantly influenced your viewpoint?

Having spent the first twenty years of my career working for some of Portland’s top architectural firms, I have come to value interdisciplinary collaboration as the ideal way to design and build. I was fortunate to have amazing opportunities to be involved in all aspects of a project: working hand in hand with clients, architects, engineers, and contractors in a collaborative environment. The Maple Rock project was a great example of that! It was a pleasure working with Scott Edwards Architecture and Hamish Murray Construction to bring our clients’ dream home to fruition.

How would you describe your design style?

l would describe my personal design style as “modern organic.” I love spaces that balance a sense of contrast, texture, proportion, and light using natural materials like wood and stone and a few carefully considered details that add an element of craft. When working with my clients to design spaces that they will love, I begin every project by understanding their personal design style that sets the tone for the project. The range of projects in my portfolio reflects that philosophy, of first listening, understanding and then designing to reflect my clients’ unique vision and style.

With experience in commercial and residential design, how does each impact your design process?

Drawing on my thirty years of experience, I tailor my design process to each unique client and project, whether it is residential or commercial. Since starting Katy Krider Interior Design in 2016, I have focused almost exclusively on residential interior design. I have really enjoyed the shift in scale that comes with residential design and the ability to offer a more personal and client-focused design process.

What is your favorite space in your own home and why?

I am my own client. Our house continues to evolve as we renovate and make it our own. It’s a funky old farmhouse that has had many renovations over its 122-year lifetime. I do love our living room which is anchored by a big wood burning fireplace with rustic basalt rock that was quarried from the site. The walls and ceiling are paneled in circa 1930 oak paneling. It’s soulful and warm and I may just leave it ‘as is’ in homage.

How do your interests outside of work keep you motivated?

To stay motivated and creative it is so important for me to seek balance between work, life and play time. Outside of the studio I enjoy horseback riding, skiing, and spending time with my family.

Best materials to splurge on?

The best materials to splurge on are the ones that makes you happy. In this market, installation labor and construction are often the most significant budget line items. Often, in the scheme of things, the difference between the cost of an average ceramic tile versus the stone tile that a client really wants is negligible based on square footage. I always encourage my clients to prioritize what makes them happy, because the cost to install the average tile is the same to install the tile that they really love — and will live with for years to come.

ISLAND LIFE

LAND MORPHOLOGY TEAMED WITH MASSUCCO WARNER INTERIOR DESIGN, STUDIO AM ARCHITECTS, WYGAL BUILDERS, AND LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR GREEN MAN LANDSCAPE AND DESIGN TO CREATE THIS GARDEN RETREAT NESTLED IN THE WOODS OF SAN JUAN ISLAND, REPLETE WITH ATHLETIC COURTS, POOL, SPA, FIRE PITS, AND PARTY BARN.

LITTLE DID LAND MORPHOLOGY FOUNDER RICHARD HARTLAGE OF SEATTLE

KNOW that when he was creating an East Coast Garden in the historic town of Bronxville, New York, that years later he would be asked to create an expansive garden and athletic complex for the very same couple who had lived adjacent to his Bronxville clients. This time on San Juan Island. “The home they purchased,” says Hartlage, “was dark and heavy with a dozen different types of wood, none of which reflected the light.” Studio AM Architects, with whom Land Morphology often collaborates, had the home gutted to create a less rustic home whose gardens feature a more refined athletic retreat.

Working with fellow principal Sandy Fischer, FSLA, Hartlage created the master plan that embraces the site’s natural graded slope. By cutting a clearing in the woods, they were able to create a tennis court bathed in sunshine. A series of terraces divide the dedicated garden rooms into a variety of activities from a central play lawn done in environmentally responsible artificial turf, flanked by a pickle ball court on one side and the pool with underwater spa whose waters flow into the pool on the other. Land Morphology

Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager Renee Freier had the hands-on job of working with Green Man Landscape and Design owner, Jason Suhl, and his team to oversee the construction of the project. Chief among the immaculate plantings is Geranium Rozanne that managed to produce voluminous blue borders – the homeowners’ favorite color - in less than a year’s time.

A small gravel road that meanders through the property gives no indication of what is soon to be revealed. First comes the sports complex. Here, an existing garage has been transformed into a party barn for which Land Morphology designed a large timber pergola that protects the full outdoor kitchen, seating area and large dining table. “Everything revolves around entertaining big parties there,” says Hartlage. “The homeowners love blue, so everything played off that.” Consequently, Julie Massucco Kleiner, co-founder of Massucco Warner Interior Design reiterated that with splashes of bright yellow found on the party barn’s sliding doors, and on various sofa pillows found throughout as contrast. Freier, who was on board from the project’s first ideas to final stages of working with Green Man owner Jason Suhl, was delighted to see it come together. “I went up several times to observe the progress and ensure that only the best materials were used. When I couldn’t make the trip, the landscape foreman, Andreas Johnson, who was very responsive and great to work with, would Facetime with me, so I could explain how to shift a plant this way or that.”

Green Man also set the Monolithic Pennsylvania True Blue Bluestone found on the various terraces and stair treads that tie back to the surrounding dry stacked Whistler Basalt granite stone walls. “We upgraded our equipment for this job,” says Suhl. “We are able to pick up and set down 1,200-pound stone steps now that we have

three vacuum slab lifters that expedited the project.” Hartlage calls Green Man, “very accountable. They stick to both the schedule and budget,” he says, “which take s a lot of coordination.”

“The pool house cabana,” explains Freier, “was added later as a way to tuck away all the pool’s equipment and allow for an extra bathroom and shower next to the pool.” Other changes made during construction include turning what was initially designed as a seat wall between the play lawn and fire terrace, into a full length of stairs that span the 52 feet lawn width that are centered on the doorway to the barn.

Land Morphology designed 10-feet cedar timber fences with Galfan powder coated wire mesh panels around the tennis and pickleball courts, which Green Man installed. Since shorter fences surround the remaining areas, many of the plantings were chosen for their deer resistant properties – a growing concern in today’s world. Additionally, a special hybrid of Standard Limelight Hydrangeas was trained into a standard mini-tree form to deter deer as well.

Land Morphology also formalized and expanded an existing terrace located behind the main residence while Massucco chose new furnishings and a small fire feature that was custom fabricated by Michael Prendergast of Pepperbox. “We enhanced the plantings around the stone patio with a very soft salmon pink Alstroemeria ‘Inca Ice,’ Feather Grass, and a few boulders from a local stone yard chosen from their existing inventory,” explains Hartlage.

Green Man recalls the pressure to complete the project in time for a party scheduled at the end. “It was one of the most technical projects that our team had ever done,” says Suhl. “So, it was gratifying to find how great the homeowners were, and how extremely supportive Land Morphology was whenever we came across unforeseen details, which isn’t always the case.”

Hartlage agrees. “A team that works this well together is not always the norm. It’s so great when everyone working together gets along. What we all created was a space that is ebullient, abundant, and happy.”

A DARK, DATED, 70S-ERA DUTCH COLONIAL ON MERCER ISLAND GETS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE. EXPERT SPACE PLANNING BY DESIGNER EMILY JOHNSTON OF 92 MAPLE DESIGN STUDIO BROUGHT LIGHT, ENERGY, AND LIVABILITY TO THIS FAMILY OF FIVE’S DREAM HOME LOCATION.

NEO-DUTCH REDUX

written by EMILY ZAHNISER photography by MIRANDA ESTES

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The age-old adage drove the Streets’ relocation from West Seattle to Mercer Island. “When the bridge went down, we knew it was time to make a change,” said Haley Street. “We wanted better commutes and better schools.” The Streets found an island neighborhood that met their budget and a mature lot they loved, but the house wasn’t a winner. The 1970s neo-Dutch Colonial was non-descript, poorly built, and stifling for their active family of five. “There’s not much design inspiration out there when starting with such an uninspiring canvas,” said Street. “I didn’t want to simply put a Band-Aid over the bad floorplan.” Enter Emily Johnston of 92 Maple Design Studio.

Johnston is a master of space planning. Beginning with the Streets’ desire for an expansive and bright house, Johnston prioritized opening the choppy rooms and adding as much natural light as possible. Challenges included 70s-era budget choices and materials like low ceilings, minimal trims, the lack of an available utility entrance, no overhead lights, and small rooms accessible only through 32-inch doors.

Johnston started by removing an ostentatious fireplace that separated the old family from the kitchen. Secondly, she added windows and large folding doors from Windows, Doors & More connecting the dining and family rooms to outdoor living. Now the ground floor has multiple light-infused communal living spaces that flow from one to the other and the lush landscape. “We found opportunities to add light wherever possible,” said Johnston. “Either natural or through a layered lighting plan that included new overhead lighting, sconces, and accent lights.”

Custom cabinets and built-ins from Haas Building are featured throughout the home, including the kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, and living room. The kitchen is light and bright with a background of Benjamin Moore Simply White and a contemporary range hood from Wolf. Classic brass hardware and fixtures, Carrara natural marble countertops and backsplash, and natural rift oak island are traditional choices that don’t feel dated. Villa Blanca wide plank European white oak from Dallas Watson Flooring sets the tone for a casually elegant and durable family home.

A cramped laundry room off the kitchen became a new, function-forward entryway with custom storage closets and bays for the whole family. “Functionality was a top consideration,” said Street. “The kids don’t have a separate play space of their own, so storage and multi-functional spaces are key.”

Stylistically, Johnston and Street collaborated to strike the right balance between traditional choices that made sense for the house and clean lines and modern touches that made sense for a 21st century family. “We use many traditional materials like natural stone and wood, but with a more contemporary application.” Classic materials like oak floors, marble countertops and tiles, shaker-style custom cabinets, and warm white finishes will stand the test of time and trends. Every tiny detail was considered, down to retaining traditional glass doorknobs, but in an updated version complementary to a modern aesthetic. “We used material repetition to create cohesion throughout the home but varied the way those materials appear,” said Johnston. “For instance, marble slab plays prominently in the kitchen countertop and backsplash, then also appears in bathroom and laundry room tile, and again along the new fireplace mantle.” Contemporary hardware and fixtures are in natural brass that will gracefully patina over time.

“I feel like I had a good vision stylistically for the home, but it took Emily’s expert space planning to make it come alive,” said Street. “Her ability to visualize how to lay things out for livability has helped us turn this house into an extension of our unique style and personality as a family. It’s a joy to live in it.”

ABOVE Combining custom and prefab choices helped the Streets keep their renovation project within budget. The bathroom features a clever lineup of three prefabricated console bases with a custom dual-sink countertop. Z Collection Carrera marble hex tiles from Contract Furnishings Mart are an example of traditional, durable materials in a contemporary application. Fully enclosed custom cabinets in the mudroom keep the view from the kitchen tidy.

LESS WHITE MORE BRIGHT

written by EMILY ZAHNISER photography by CARINA SKROBECKI

Custom cabinets in Iron Ore from Sherwin Williams prioritize plenty of storage. Their double height makes use of previously dead space at ceiling level. A clever pull-out coffee hub and lower drawers throughout make for easy access and tidyup. The handmade tile backsplash from Cle Tile adds a bespoke, artisan texture.

ESCHEWING POPULAR HOME-MAKEOVER TRENDS, THIS FAMILY OF FIVE OPTED FOR SOMETHING MORE DRAMATIC. ONE SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND A DARKLY MASCULINE COLOR PALETTE TRANSFORMED AN OPPRESSIVE 90S-ERA KITCHEN INTO A SOPHISTICATED AND SPACIOUS PLACE FOR ENTERTAINING AND DAILY USE.

“There was just something ‘off’ about the kitchen,” said homeowner Lisa Simpson. “It was awkward to move around in and felt oppressive.” The Simpson’s 1990s-era kitchen was heavy on manufactured wood finishes and busy granite countertops popular at the time. It also had a massive, five-sided, two-level island that wasn’t working for the family of five. They had made the best of it for years, but the space felt disjointed and chaotic. They found they didn’t like to spend time in what should arguably be the heart of their home.

“We hired Emily Ruff of Cohesively Curated to help us make sense of the needed changes and how to bring our own personal style to life,” said Johnson. The first thing to go was the kitchen island.

“By replacing that island with one aligned squarely in the room, so much more space and utility was realized,” said Ruff. More structurally complicated than it appears on the surface, the island required new wiring, ductwork, and plumbing. But it also provided the opportunity for expansively more storage. “I really appreciate the extra storage accessible underneath the new bar area,” said Simpson. “It’s space that usually goes unutilized.”

Once space planning was sorted, the fundamental transformation could take place. “Everyone does a white kitchen,” said Simpson. “While those look nice, we find ourselves drawn to darker colors.” Working collaboratively, Ruff and the Simpsons started by identifying the countertops they wanted. They chose a Leblon quartzite from Trio Surfaces with a depth of character, including blue, green, and grey veins. To highlight the beautiful surface, Ruff used a thick, three-inch overhang on the island and painted cabinetry in a rich grey with blue undertones.

From there, stylistic choices are based on fine craftsmanship and timeless details. Inspired by European deVOL kitchens, cabinets are built with carpentry techniques that give them the appearance of furniture rather than a fixture. They have been extended to the ceiling to fully use the space. The beadboard on the island adds an additional bespoke touch. The backsplash is of handmade farmhouse Clé tiles with speckled glazing, imbuing artistry and warmth to functionality.

Lighting fixtures and other hardware have a subtle industrial vibe, offset by the warm wood of the furniture and accent shelving. “I like to call this “transitional eclectic,” said Ruff. “The Simpsons were drawn to a mix of traditional and contemporary, and these elements can be brought together in a complimentary way. It becomes a collected space rather than a cookie-cutter one.”

Ruff mixed matte black and brass Brizo faucet fixtures with a dark charcoal quartz sink. Every detail was considered for cohesive design impact, like the knurling on the faucet handles, pendant lighting, and a matching quartzite trim around the window. “I like to use the countertop or marble window trim in kitchens instead of millwork,” Ruff said. “It’s a practical and durable choice when water staining is likely to occur.”

Ruff’s livability and user flow facility was also a big perk for the homeowners. “Ruff helped us realize familyfriendly systems and functionality that helps everyone feel empowered - but is also easy to keep looking neat and tidy,” said Simpson. A bar area to the left of the refrigerator is an accessible prep surface adjacent to drawers stocked with plates and cutlery and a handy beverage fridge. The microwave is hidden in a pull-out drawer when not in use. A similar strategy was used for the coffee station near the sink.

Finally, bespoke touches pull it all together. “I styled the kitchen with vintage artwork, ceramic bowls and vases, and other found objects, including a vintage rug runner,” said Ruff. “These one-of-a-kind details bring warmth and character to the modern space.”

OPPOSITE A Sub-Zero fridge, cooktop, and warming drawer are by Wolf. The Leblon Quartzite countertop by Trio Surfaces was the catalyst for the kitchen’s color palette, including the custom cabinets by Superior Cabinets painted a dark Iron Ore. The pendants from Urban Electric are entirely custom, allowing the designer to create a unique piece that complemented the kitchen’s other hardware.

Rejuvenation floating wooden shelves and Serena & Lily Portside counter stools with rush seats and natural wood offer an organic counterpoint to the painted cabinetry. Vintage found objects, including art, ceramics, and rug, soften the contemporary and industrial elements, adding a richness of character and a sense of history to the space. Despite a darker color palette, the clean tones, white tile, and eyecatching countertops by Trio Surfaces deliver an overall brighter, lighter, and more spacious experience.

Has there been a defining experience that has significantly influenced your design viewpoint?

The projects that are most defining for me have been projects in my own homes. I started my business with my previous home as my only portfolio project and have gone through multiple renovations and decorating projects in our current home. Designing for yourself is much more challenging and has also allowed me to truly empathize with my clients during the design and construction process.

What are some of the current influences on your work?

I really love European style of cabinetry and all details and elements that make it feel like furniture. I try to include some vintage elements (usually rugs) in my designs to bring warmth and character to brand new spaces.

Specializing in new construction, how does that impact your design process?

We do conceptual design first and then we bring in contractors to bid the project. I always recommend that clients give us their full wish list to have priced out at the beginning and then we can scale back if needed once the estimates come in. We don’t start detailed design and material selections until we are aligned on the scope of work and what that truly costs.

What was the journey to building your own firm and how has your practice evolved?

I started my business in 2017 as a side hustle while working full time as a Project Manager at Amazon. I focused on décor-only projects initially and then went back to school for kitchen and bath design and started doing more renovations and new construction. After four years of juggling both jobs and having my daughter, I decided to transition into running my business fulltime in the summer of 2020 and haven’t looked back.

What kind of reaction do you hope to get from people that live in your spaces?

I always want them to love the way the space flows and functions daily. I also want clients to feel like the space is a reflection of them, but something they couldn’t have achieved on their own. Well-designed spaces should bring happiness and ease to day-to-day life, my biggest goal.

What’s the first thing you notice when you walk into a room?

I notice what isn’t working from a layout perspective. Whether it is cabinetry size and location or furniture size and configuration, I am quick to pinpoint what could be improved.

What is your favorite space in your own home and why?

My kitchen, breakfast nook and family room area is my favorite space in my home. It was the first space we renovated six months after buying the house. It is long and narrow, so the layout was tricky to figure out. We spend 80% of our time in these spaces and I still love everything about them after two years of being here.

What’s on your radar?

Color! I love neutrals and how calming they can be, but I am really inspired by the way some designers mix color and pattern so effortlessly. I am pushing myself and my clients to be more daring with color and pattern instead of playing it safe with neutrals.

Favorite place to travel? London.

Favorite era of design? Hollywood Regency, 1920s-1950s
