The Shaw House is a quintessential bungalow located in the View Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. The owners were seeking a more functional and cohesive layout with upgraded finishes and fixtures to reflect a timeless yet approachable and family-friendly space. The entire second level and descending stairs were transformed to enhance the area while still reflecting the character of the home. In order to open the main living space, the design team relocated the previously galley-style kitchen to the other side of main level and added additional windows and skylights to bring in more of the natural light. Materials and finishes included painted bead board, black and white tones paired with warm oak, brass and black hardware, along with pattern/texture and color to add interest and depth.
