A More Cohesive Approach to Remodeling
Many Mercer Island homes have strong architecture, established landscaping, and valuable locations, but the interiors may no longer support the way the household lives today.
A renovation may begin with a kitchen that feels separated from the main living areas, a primary suite that needs better functionality, or several rooms that have been updated at different times without a consistent design direction.
Whole-home remodeling creates an opportunity to look at these spaces together. Layout, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, materials, storage, and architectural details can be coordinated as one connected design rather than treated as separate projects.
We begin with the existing home and determine where changes can make the greatest difference in comfort, flow, functionality, and long-term use.

Remodeling Homes Across Mercer Island
Mercer Island includes a diverse mix of mid-century homes, traditional residences, newer construction, and waterfront properties. Each type of home brings different opportunities and constraints when planning a renovation.
Some projects focus on opening the main living areas and improving the relationship between the kitchen, dining room, and family spaces. Others involve complete primary-suite renovations, custom cabinetry, updated finishes, or larger whole-home transformations.
Homes with lake views, sloped sites, mature trees, or established landscaping may also require greater attention to windows, exterior openings, additions, drainage, access, and the relationship between the home and the surrounding property.
Our approach starts with the existing architecture, layout, natural light, views, and site conditions before major design decisions are made.
Serving homeowners throughout Mercer Island, including North Mercer, East Mercer, South Mercer, West Mercer, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Structural Remodeling & Permit Planning
Major renovations can involve structural changes, additions, plumbing, mechanical systems, electrical work, and site conditions that should be evaluated early in the design process.

Structural Remodeling
Opening living spaces, creating larger wall openings, modifying roof structures, or reconfiguring major areas of the home can affect framing, beams, posts, and lateral-resistance systems.
Reviewing these conditions early helps coordinate design decisions, engineering requirements, and construction scope before major work begins.

Permits & Site Conditions
Mercer Island distinguishes between structural and non-structural interior remodels, and additions have separate permit requirements.
Depending on the property and project scope, additional documentation may also be required for geologically hazardous areas, critical areas, stormwater review, structural calculations, utilities, or work near protected trees.
