TUCKED AWAY TRANQUILITY⁠
⁠
Modest dwelling structures shelter an outdoor courtyard. Substantial overhangs provide shade in hot summers and a buffer from snowy winters. The zero-profile garage is sunk into the hillside, where a buried eight-foot-diameter metal culvert pipe offers a protected passageway to the home’s secondary utilitarian entrance at the basement level. This level includes a mud room, exercise gym, continuous lap pool, and storage.

COLORFUL BUNGALOW

The office wallpaper serves to give Jeff something pretty to look at while at work. Todd adorns it with Nada Surf posters, Jeff’s favorite band. “They’re such a happy, sweet band that makes me feel really good,” he says. The original office design included a playful hanging chair from the ceiling that Martindale, who did a full basement remodel, much of the millwork, and repaired the electrical, found wasn’t adequate to hold the chair.

MEET SUSAN MARINELLO

Q: What is a design rule you use again and again?

A: Timeless, classic, and keep editing. Always remember it is about the owners and never about me. I am the fortunate one who gets to be a part of it.

FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY⁠
⁠
⁠The cabinets conceal a full walk-in butler’s pantry and warming kitchen. “All the backsplashes and counters in the pantry, indoor and outdoor kitchens are cut from a single block of truly exceptional Calacatta Gold stone,” say the homeowners. “It was the prettiest white marble in Seattle”. ⁠

BUILT TO LAST⁠
⁠
Casual living is enhanced by the rough-sawn 12" plank flooring, this corner is a perfect spot for game night and puzzles. The wooden picture window with an integrated arched doorway shows Arciform’s precision and detail found throughout the home. The white oak and steel shelving offers a place for keepsakes and books while a vintage orchard ladder gives access to high shelves.

BRING ON THE VIEW

What began as the owner’s teenage lakeside home with a mansard roof in the 1960s was remodeled in the early 1990s with a decidedly Northwest contemporary style. Thirty years later, with their children grown and gone, Joan Bayley, a luxury real estate agent and her husband Ron Bayley, whose father originally built the house, decided to maximize the home’s views and welcome the natural light.

METAMORPHOSIS IN THE MOUNTAINS

In the kitchen, the focal point is the Vittara Brown Quartzite slab covering the counters, backsplash, and apron in front of the sink. When the team first saw it, it had a glossy finish, but the owners asked to have it leathered, which gave it a matte texture and creamy brown palette accented by the quartzite veining. This is complemented by white oak cabinetry, itself with a few special details on the uppers, including glass inserts with custom-fabricated black metal frames, and fluted fronts that read as all one piece, but actually open.

GOING DUTCH⁠
⁠
In the attic, the “Peter Pan room,” a place for the two children to hang out, had all of the millwork, including built-in shelves, cupboards, and beds, preserved, but needed the walls and ceiling rebuilt by Gallagher Co’s master carpenter. “The idea was to tread ultra-lightly and then put it back together like we weren’t there,” says Nygaard. Painted in a color to flow with the rest of the house, and with the ceiling papered in a map, it’s “just a place to dream,” says Mollick.
