Honoring tradition in a modern living environment.
This residence is located in a City of Seattle Historic landmark building, designed by Frederick Anhalt and built in 1929. The exterior of the building has been meticulously maintained, but the interior of this unit was woefully undermined by chalk white paint and white tile. Much of the original detail was missing, with the exception of the textured plaster walls and ceilings, and the pointed archways linking the main living spaces. The original fireplace with a stepped surround had been covered with white subway tile, losing its charm in the process. Ensuring that all original amenities remained, the remodel restored a sense of harmony between the exterior character and the interior experience, while maintaining their connections to the past.
