H2D Architecture + Design in collaboration with Carlisle Classic Homes has reimagined this midcentury modern home that has a clean look while also being inviting and fun, situated in Seattle, Washington. The scope of this project entailed a full-scale gut remodel and additions to the front and rear of the dwelling.

The outdated existing finishes were removed and replaced with period-appropriate finishes to maintain the midcentury vibe of the home. The kitchen was designed with walnut cabinetry, crisp white quartz countertops, and blue glass tile backsplash. A vertical grain fir screen wall provides a feature to separate the stairs from the living room.

Other spaces on the main floor include an owner’s bedroom suite which was enlarged with an addition, bedrooms, bathroom, and garage. The lower floor is designed with an office, bedroom, wet bar, built-in media center, recreation room, and workout area.

Above: This living room was opened up with the help of a two-sided fireplace that helps ensure connection between the living and dining rooms. The use of a slat wall at the stairs also creates a more open feeling and allows light to pass through the spaces.

What We Love: This midcentury modern home in Seattle underwent a stunning facelift that boasts light and airy living spaces. A dual-sided fireplace not only separates the living and dining areas but enhances the flow between them. The integration of large windows and skylights helps to flood the interiors with natural light, creating a feeling of spaciousness. Overall, we think the project team did a fabulous job of updating this home to provide a warm and welcoming living environment.

Above: This kitchen is a modernized take on the midcentury style, with walnut cabinets, white quartz countertops, and a dark blue subway tile backsplash.

Above: The creative lighting in this kitchen illuminates both above and below the cabinets. This gives it a high-end look and provides flexible, layered lighting.

Above: This stainless steel backsplash provides an easy-to-clean surface behind the stovetop, and also makes the stove and hood feel like one unit.

Above: This pantry is cleverly designed to accommodate small appliances that would rather be off the main kitchen counters. Lighting under the cabinets adds a luxurious effect.

Above: The skylight adds a generous amount of natural light to the hallway and helps it feel larger than it is. 

Above: The dark hexagon tile flooring provides some texture and contrast to the bathroom, especially when illuminated by the toe-kick lighting at the vanity. The wood veneer cabinetry significantly brightens up the space.

Above: The curbless shower allows for a completely seamless look for the tile flooring.

Above: This is an example of creative storage in a bathroom. Using a tall pull-out allows for storing hair tools in a very functional way.

Above: Slat wall design acts as a railing while separating spaces at the same time – a great solution for breaking up spaces while still allowing light to pass through.

Above: This staircase uses an artistic and unique slat wall to replace a more standard railing and add more visual interest.
