Kirkland

Full condo renovation in Kirkland, Washington.

A condo kitchen with matte deep green cabinets, marble counters and slim arched pendant lights
Location
Kirkland, Washington
Scope
Full condo renovation
Completed
2025

A whole condominium, taken back far enough to move the plumbing and rebuilt as one idea rather than six rooms that happen to share an address.

The green runs everywhere: matte on the kitchen fronts, fluted on the island and the entry cabinetmaking, glazed and vertical on the guest bath wall. Against it, three things and no more. Marble on the counters, brass on everything you touch, and a single dark stone that lines the primary bath floor to ceiling.

The arched pendants over the peninsula are the one deliberately odd note in a project that is otherwise very disciplined, and they are the thing everybody photographs.

Photographs

Green below, white above, and marble that turns the corner
Fluted fronts milled in our shop, marble returned to the floor
The arcs, which were the owners' idea and the right one
The island seen from the living room, which is where it is seen from
The tall run holds the fridge and both ovens
The sink under the window, the hob on the long wall
Everything for cooking within two steps
No handles on the doors, only on the drawers
Marble up the wall behind the hob, so there is no joint to clean
White above, green below, so the ceiling stays where it is
The entry: coats, shoes and a mirror, all of it built in
The same green carried into the entry, so it reads as one flat
The primary bath is one stone, floor to ceiling
The bath opens off the bedroom, with the shower behind the stone
Light behind the mirror rather than above it
The sink is cut from the same block as the counter
Brass on stone, and the tap set into the slab
Warm stone and brass, against the dark of the rest
Glass on two sides, so the stone is never hidden
Unlacquered brass, which will go darker and should
The guest bath takes the same green, glazed and vertical
Green to the ceiling, black taps, and light inside the mirror
