This 2,000 sq ft Mercer Island home was completely transformed through a down-to-studs renovation focused on clean architecture, integrated storage, modern functionality, and a consistent design throughout the interior.
The project brought the kitchen, entryway, bathrooms, cabinetry, lighting, and finishes together as one coordinated renovation—creating a modern home that feels refined while remaining comfortable for everyday living.

Rebuilding the Interior From the Studs
Taking the interior down to the studs gave us the opportunity to approach the home as one complete living environment rather than a collection of separately remodeled rooms.
Layout, cabinetry, lighting, materials, storage, and architectural details were considered together from the beginning. This created a clearer design direction and allowed transitions between the kitchen, entryway, bathrooms, and living spaces to feel intentional.
The result is a contemporary interior built around clean lines, practical functionality, and a consistent material palette.
A Modern Kitchen With Integrated Storage
The kitchen became one of the defining spaces of the renovation. Warm slab cabinetry creates a clean architectural appearance while adding natural depth and texture to the modern interior.
Flat-panel doors keep visual lines simple, while integrated appliances and concealed storage reduce clutter and allow the cabinetry to become part of the architecture of the room.
The completed kitchen balances minimalist design with the storage and functionality needed for everyday use.

Function Built Into the Cabinetry
Many of the most important details in this kitchen are designed to disappear when they are not being used.
Appliance lifts, integrated cooking features, drawer appliances, soft-close hardware, and specialized storage solutions keep frequently used items accessible while maintaining the clean appearance of the cabinetry.
By incorporating these features during the design stage, functionality becomes part of the interior rather than something added after construction.

A Dramatic First Impression
The contemporary character of the remodel begins before entering the main living space.
Double entry doors with frosted glass introduce the modern design, while the marble-finished foyer creates a refined transition into the home.
Statement lighting provides a strong visual focal point and establishes the design language used throughout the renovation.
Rather than treating the entry as simply a passageway, it became an intentional part of the overall interior experience.
One Design Language Throughout the Home
One of the advantages of renovating the entire interior at the same time is the ability to create consistency from room to room.
Cabinetry, stone surfaces, lighting, hardware, colors, and architectural details were selected as parts of one design rather than independent decisions for individual spaces.
This creates smoother transitions throughout the house and gives the completed remodel a deliberate, cohesive character from the entryway through the kitchen and private spaces.
