EDUCATION HILL

- character & craft -
The phase one remodel of a split level includes the kitchen, dining, and living rooms.

An update of a 1968 split-level home in Redmond, paying special attention to craft and authenticity. In Phase I we renovated the kitchen, dining room, living room, and front entry; subsequent phases of the master plan will include a new main suite and a home office.

Kitchen
We converted the kitchen into a bright space with easy circulation and loads of storage. The new kitchen island includes drawers that open from either side and a Caesarstone countertop. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets conceal a refrigerator and pantry space. The new window and two skylights flood the space with light.
Dining Room
The updated dining room is also full of light, thanks to another skylight and a sliding door leading to the deck. Cork flooring and fiber-textured wallpaper, hand-picked by the client, give the room an earthy, natural feel.
Living Room
We bumped out a portion of the front façade to enlarge the space. The client’s father built the custom cabinets that provide additional storage and hide a bar refrigerator. With wide, open doorways and coordinated flooring, there is a gracious, spacious flow from room to room.
Entry Hall
A coat closet with sliding doors and a built-in bench provide storage and ease in getting in and out of the house. The easy-to-clean linoleum flooring matches that of the kitchen. A new front door and porch refreshes the entire house.
