Low furniture pairs with large windows to make the most of the beautiful views beyond. The living room and family room are distinguished by a jewel box, pop-up ceiling. Stainless steel accents on the lighting valance provide a perceived separation of space while leaving an open floor plan.

The homeowners can relax and enjoy the sights of the ferries coming in and out of the Puget Sound from these contoured lounge chairs. Glossy brown hardwood floors ground the space.

Back-lit fused glass provides a warm glow to contrast with the metal detail in contemporary kitchen. White cabinets are paired with black countertops, while a neutral stone backplash brings rustic texture to the space.

Storage was a priority for the homeowners, who are retired and frequently host grandchildren. Built-ins are used in almost every room, so that toys and games can be easily concealed behind the beautiful zebrawood millwork. The custom banquette set into the window is one of many throughout the home but this is the favored location for the the matriarch of the family to host her grandchildren.
