Beacon Hill Garden-Level ADU

Remodel of the lower level of a mid-century home in South Beacon Hill to create an accessory dwelling unit.

The centerpiece of the design is the way it relates the site’s lush garden to a new living area, and then to a new master suite beyond via an oversize set of pocket doors in fir and glass. An understated kitchen with fir cabinetry and brushed stainless steel countertops (including integral sink, drainboard, and backsplash) sits at the opposite end of the space.

Wetmore House

Single-family residence in South Seattle. Simple massing, metal cladding, and thin awnings provide a modern counterpoint to the traditional quality of its silhouette.

Its 1,200 square feet contain a generous living/dining/kitchen space under high ceilings with exposed beams, as well as two bedrooms (one with a vaulted ceiling), two full baths, and a den. Century-old reclaimed boards clad an interior feature wall that winds its way up the stair.

Meadowbrook Remodel

Remodel of a mid-century home in North Seattle. Decades of partial remodels had left the house with a patchwork of living spaces that were hard to inhabit. Peltier Design reimagined these spaces to make them more comfortable and inviting, and also arranged them in a way that strengthens the home’s connection to its surrounding gardens.

Densmore Summit Kitchen

Kitchen remodel in a 1910s North Seattle home. Every finish was reconsidered and replaced, with an emphasis on minimizing visual clutter using a restrained palette of materials, textures, and colors. Tall cabinetry was consolidated in an alcove along with the refrigerator, creating a greater sense of lightness everywhere else in the space.

Phinney Ridge Bungalow

Design for a master suite, kitchen and extra bedroom in a 1910s bungalow. A major element of the design brief called for re-orienting these spaces to fully take advantage of the Olympic views offered by the home.

Phinney Ridge Kitchen

A kitchen remodel and bench-lined dining nook bay in a 1920s house. Peltier Design inherited the initial schematic plan from Greggs Building Design, and fleshed it out with details including the layout of the bay walls, windows, and roof, as well as the cabinetry and other casework.
