Ah, the Caipirinha. The deliciously citrusy national drink of Brazil. Like the liquor, this corner bar brings no shortage of flavor to this cozy kitchen, complete with colorful accent rugs, beachy barstools, and traditionally Portuguese Azulejo kitchen tiling. A stand-out feature of this design is the liquor cabinet, complete with a colorful hexagonal backsplash, and industrial framing around its glass shelves. Bringing back the spirit of Brazil, this kitchen incorporates many traditional elements into its design. Woven textiles, mystic paintings, and azeueljo tiling come together to create the perfect relaxed atmosphere for lounging around the kitchen or cooking churrisqueria.

Completed in 2019, this is a home we completed for client who initially engaged us to remodeled their 100 year old classic craftsman bungalow on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill. During our initial conversation, it became readily apparent that their program was much larger than a remodel could accomplish and the conversation quickly turned toward the design of a new structure that could accommodate a growing family, a live-in Nanny, a variety of entertainment options and an enclosed garage – all squeezed onto a compact urban corner lot. Project entitlement took almost a year as the house size dictated that we take advantage of several exceptions in Seattle’s complex zoning code. After several meetings with city planning officials, we finally prevailed in our arguments and ultimately designed a 4 story, 3800 sf house on a 2700 sf lot. The finished product is light and airy with a large, open plan and exposed beams on the main level, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, 2 fireplaces, 4 climate zones, a huge basement with a home theatre, guest suite, climbing gym, and an underground tavern/wine cellar/man cave. The kitchen has a large island, a walk-in pantry, a small breakfast area and access to a large deck. All of this program is capped by a rooftop deck with expansive views of Seattle’s urban landscape and Lake Union. Unfortunately for our clients, a job relocation to Southern California forced a sale of their dream home a little more than a year after they settled in after a year project. The good news is that in Seattle’s tight housing market, in less than a week they received several full price offers with escalator clauses which allowed them to turn a nice profit on the deal.
