MERCER ISLAND REMODEL
MERCER ISLAND, WASHINGTON
This 6,240 square foot Mercer Island Home was originally built in 2003. The current homeowners have ultra-modern taste in design and furnishings and were looking for a transformational update to the home’s interior spaces to suit their lifestyle and aesthetic.
To achieve the clients’ goal of transforming the traditional kitchen into a sleek, modern, and functional open space, the design team reinvented the entire kitchen, retaining only a few major appliances. Reviewing the original kitchen’s single window, it was clear that more light was needed. The addition of a skylight ooded the island and cooking area with soft, natural light. The sink was relocated to the new, much larger central island that created a more open and inviting kitchen. This project was a complete transformation—nothing remains from the dated appearance of the original kitchen. In its place is a warm, livable modern kitchen with clean lines and an enjoyable space for the clients to cook, entertain, and relax.
