An outdated condo needed a more functional and bright layout, completely transformed by architects Hoedemaker Pfeiffer​ in Tacoma, Washington. After residing in several cities and traveling across the globe, this homeowner wished to create a home base. He purchased a well-loved condo in a building designed by a renowned local architect in the stadium district of the city and sought to completely reimagine the space.

As an avid art collector and supporter of the arts, showcasing his collection was paramount in the new design. ​The architects pulled inspiration from mid-century wood screens to functionally divide spaces while still allowing light to flow through. The condo draws most of its natural light from the waterside of the home, so the wood screens allow natural light to penetrate deep into the space.​

Most of the pieces specified for this project were vintage, from the Guillerme et Chambrondining set to the Illum Wikkelsø coffee table in the living room. These pieces’ history, patina, and vintage nature were important to both the homeowner and the designer.

The living room was designed to be an entertaining space, centered by a leathered marble-clad fireplace with a blackened steel hearth. A wood frame sofa and multiple armchairs allow flexible seating and movability.

This is the room the homeowner spends hours in each night, unwinding, lounging, and watching television. The designer was sure to specify an extremely comfortable and nap-worthy sectional in a hearty linen that is forgiving in color (for inevitable crumbs).

The custom TV wall multi-tasks to house the television, ceramics, picture frames, and a small wet bar.

The size of the Kitchen was greatly expanded, keeping the aesthetic clean with flat front cabinets (oak) and bronze and integrated pulls. The island is large enough for a few friends to hang out with a drink while someone works in the kitchen. ​ The countertops are Caesarstone Quartz. The pendant lights are from Allied Maker. The custom drawer pulls and all other metal items are by Scott Cormier, Splice Metal Works in Tacoma, WA.

What We Love: This outdated condo has undergone a complete transformation into a more bright and spacious layout. Living spaces were designed to feel warm and welcoming with refined styling. The owner’s art collection can be found throughout, adding personality to the interiors. Overall, the project team did a fantastic job of updating this home to meet the lifestyle needs of the owner, creating a place to call home.

The walls are wrapped in a small-scale printed grasscloth wallcovering that is a quiet, complimentary backdrop for the client’s favorite artwork.
