Modern Craftsman Whole House Build
This Greenwood property was completed in two major phases. Silver Peak built an 850-square-foot rear addition in 2008, then took the structurally compromised 100-year-old primary house down to its foundation in 2018 and rebuilt it as a new, approximately 3,000-square-foot modern Craftsman home with Scandinavian influence.
The completed home includes solar panels, an EV charger, an open kitchen, dining and living area, a basement ADU, a primary suite, multiple bathrooms, custom storage, a distinctive shed, and landscaped outdoor spaces.
Project Details
Explore the major exterior, interior, ADU, custom-detail, and outdoor-living decisions that shaped the finished property.
Exterior and energy upgrades
The home was reimagined with a modern craftsman look that kept a familiar Seattle neighborhood character while giving the property a cleaner and more updated presence. Bold exterior color, crisp trim, and a balanced front elevation help create the curb appeal.
Solar panels, an EV charger, custom landscaping, and a distinctive front-yard shed with a living roof make the exterior feel intentionally designed rather than simply refreshed.
Kitchen craftsmanship
The kitchen includes a concealed breakfast bar cabinet, quartz work surfaces, under-cabinet outlets, LED lighting, custom Barcelona tile, and quartz window sills. These details keep the room clean visually while making the kitchen more useful day to day.
The backsplash was treated as a design feature, with outlets hidden below the cabinets so the tile can read as one continuous finish.
Main level planning
The main level was designed around one connected kitchen, dining, and living space. The kitchen acts as the center of the home, while the dining and living areas remain visually connected to patio access, natural light, and the yard.
This layout makes the home feel larger, brighter, and better suited for entertaining, family life, and everyday movement through the main floor.
Interior warmth
Real walnut floors add warmth and character through the interior. At the back of the home, the family room includes a custom bar designed as a built-in feature rather than a standard cabinet installation.
The bar uses butcher block, open shelving, and metal supports that coordinate with the faucet finish, giving the room a crafted and personal detail.
Lower-level living
The lower level includes a basement ADU with its own living area, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry function. It adds a separate living environment within the property rather than feeling like leftover basement space.
One distinctive feature is the stained original concrete floor with a clear finish, preserving part of the home’s older structure while giving the ADU a unique finish.
Private suite
The primary suite was designed to feel grand and complete, with high ceilings, a walnut beam, layered lighting, and a connected bathroom and walk-in closet. The bathroom includes a long shower layout, bench, double vanity, and two shower heads.
Deep recessed medicine cabinets, interior lighting, outlets, shoe storage, and tailored closet zones show how the private spaces were planned with the same care as the public rooms.
Bathroom work
Bathroom and bedroom spaces were treated as part of the full-home scope. Custom tile, updated fixtures, storage planning, and clean finish work help the private rooms feel consistent with the rest of the renovation.
The bathrooms show the level of detail that can go into smaller rooms, where tile, glass, fixtures, cabinetry, and transitions all need to be carefully coordinated.
Outdoor living
The backyard was treated as another major part of the renovation. The outdoor space includes a stamped concrete patio designed to resemble cobblestone, basalt stone retaining walls, and an integrated stone bench built into the wall.
A bamboo garden with integrated lighting adds privacy, texture, and atmosphere, helping the yard feel like an extension of the renovated home.
Exterior rebuilding and refinishing, open-concept planning, a new custom kitchen, family room improvements, private rooms, bathrooms, and storage.

ADU and DADU
This View Ridge project combines three useful elements in one compact backyard build: a DADU, a custom deck, and a shed built beneath the deck. The design shows how careful planning can create a complete living environment without wasting a small footprint. The DADU also has a unique butterfly roof design, with a valley in the middle of the roof.
The DADU includes a full-size refrigerator and dishwasher, an apartment-size range, a large kitchen window, open shelving, cabinets made of rift oak, custom under-stair cabinetry, and two made-to-fit Murphy beds: one vertical and one horizontal. Those flexible sleeping solutions allow rooms to serve as offices, exercise areas, or guest rooms when the beds are closed.
Project Details
Explore how site planning, compact-space design, custom carpentry, and flexible rooms came together in this backyard DADU.
Site planning and outdoor function
This project was not only a detached backyard living unit. It also included a custom deck with a shed built underneath it, giving the site layered functionality and better use of the available footprint. This layered scope added another level of construction coordination beyond a standard DADU build.
The elevated deck, the enclosed storage below it, and the surrounding stairs work together as one outdoor area.
Kitchen design
The kitchen is one of the best features of the DADU. Even in a compact room, the layout fits a standard-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and an apartment-size range. A large window, generous natural light, and open shelving on both sides keep the compact kitchen bright and practical.
Every inch of this small footprint was put to use, so the compact kitchen packs a lot of punch.
Custom carpentry
This project includes several carpentry details worth noting. Built-in cabinetry under the staircase includes a custom triangular storage door and matching trim detail. These are small but highly visible touches that make the interior feel custom rather than generic.
Every available area was used for function, which is especially important in a compact detached dwelling.
Flexible living solutions
One of the standout custom features is the first Murphy bed, built in a vertical configuration. It folds into the wall so the room can shift between sleeping space and open floor area. This type of space-saving furniture is especially valuable in a smaller DADU where every room may need to serve more than one purpose.
Silver Peak built the Murphy beds for this project, creating a tailored solution instead of relying on standard cabinetry or prefabricated storage.
Office and guest space
The second Murphy bed is even more distinctive. It was custom made as a horizontal Murphy bed to fit the client’s room layout and specifications. Its unusual orientation makes it a memorable example of custom problem solving for a tight room layout.
Most of the year, that room works as a clean, functional office. When guests visit, the bed folds down and the space becomes a guest bedroom. It shows how the project delivers flexible living without wasting square footage.
Exterior and bathroom details
The overall exterior composition, new concrete stairs, and tall entry sequence give the DADU a unique architectural presence.
Inside, Silver Peak designed a three-quarter bath upstairs and a powder room downstairs, so even the smallest spaces feel complete and usable.

Bathroom and Laundry Renovation
This accessible ADA compliant bathroom and laundry renovation in Greenwood includes a curbless shower and a custom wheelchair-accessible vanity. The project needed to support multiple daily-use functions at once, including bathing, storage, circulation, privacy, and laundry access.
The strongest part of the project is how much function was built into a limited footprint. Partial-height walls, the curbless shower, the custom wheelchair-accessible vanity, warm wood storage, laundry integration, and built-in shelving all work together so the room feels organized and cohesive instead of crowded.
Project Details
Explore how the shower, vanity, storage, laundry function, and finish details were coordinated within this compact footprint.
Bathroom and laundry planning
This Greenwood project was clarified as a bathroom and laundry renovation because the space needed to solve more than a single bathroom update. The room had to support bathing, storage, circulation, privacy, and laundry-related utility in one compact footprint.
The laundry functions as a hallway into the bathroom, and two pocket doors divide the spaces for privacy. The layout uses partial-height divider walls to organize the room without closing it off completely. That separation helps the shower, vanity, toilet, and laundry zones each feel intentional while still keeping the overall space open and easy to move through.
Vanity and finish character
The vanity was designed so that someone in a wheelchair can roll their knees under it while washing their hands. The vanity area gives the room a warmer and more custom feel. The wood counter, integrated sink, simple wall lights, and red trim detail help the space feel designed rather than treated as a basic utility room.
This is an important part of the project because compact bathrooms can easily feel purely functional. Here, the vanity adds visual character while still keeping the sink area practical for daily use.
Shower and accessibility
The curbless shower provides step-free entry and was treated as a long-term performance space. Large-format wall tile, a glass partition, a handheld fixture, grab bars, and a bench make the shower more comfortable, durable, and easier to use.
The finished shower keeps the design simple and clean while adding practical features that support safety and day-to-day function. These details help the room feel more complete than a standard cosmetic remodel.
Storage and organization
The toilet area was planned as its own finished zone rather than leftover space. The upper wood cabinet provides useful storage, while the surrounding wall surfaces, fixture placement, and accessories keep the area clean and organized.
This kind of detail matters in a smaller bathroom and laundry room because every wall and corner has to work harder. Storage, privacy, and fixture placement all contribute to making the room feel considered from end to end.
Laundry integration
The laundry component is one of the reasons this project should be described as more than a bathroom remodel. Appliance placement, clearances, floor durability, access, and storage all had to be considered within the hallway leading into the bathroom.
The completed space shows the laundry function as part of the overall plan rather than an afterthought. It supports real household use while still maintaining the finish quality expected in a renovated bathroom.
Built-ins and final details
Built-in shelving, wood doors, tile flooring, lighting, and storage details help the room feel complete. The shelves add useful organization, while the warm wood tones and red edge accents connect the different parts of the room visually.
The final result is a compact bathroom and laundry space that balances utility with design. The project shows how a small service area can become a polished, organized, and durable part of the home.

Exterior Restoration and Bathroom/Laundry Renovation
This Licton Springs project restored a distinctive Tudor home while also improving its bathroom and laundry spaces. Because this old-world architecture is unusual in Seattle, the curved rooflines, brickwork, stucco, and trim were especially important to preserve.
The exterior work included cleaning and re-tuckpointing the brick, replacing deteriorated mortar, removing rotten wood, rebuilding straight and curved trim, repairing stucco in the gables and rounded entry, and renewing the laundry-room entrance with a new door.
Alongside the exterior restoration, the project scope also included bathroom and laundry improvements to support better everyday use. Together, the work paired practical interior updates with a careful exterior restoration that made the whole property feel more complete.
Project Details
Explore how masonry repair, stucco, trim, entries, and interior utility spaces were coordinated to restore the home as one complete property.
Tudor house character
This Tudor home reflects a Northern European architectural style that feels uncommon in Seattle. The steep gables, brick walls, and distinctive trim made the home stand out right away, which is why the remodel needed to preserve the character instead of flattening it into a generic exterior update.
Brick restoration
A major part of the project was restoring the brick envelope. The mortar was badly aged and, in some areas, the bricks were close to failing, so the masonry had to be cleaned and the joints carefully rebuilt.
Re-tuck-pointing the brick gave the walls structural stability again while also sharpening the look of the exterior. The same restoration continued around the chimney and side walls, not just the front facade.
Stucco and trim restoration
The gables and upper wall sections also needed significant attention. Rotten wood was removed, trim pieces were rebuilt, and the stucco was redone so the Tudor detailing would feel crisp again instead of tired or patched together.
The rounded and angled wood details required especially careful custom cuts.
Laundry access update
The remodel also included work at the laundry-room entry. This door area was rebuilt and fitted with a new door, improving both function and the finished appearance of the service-side access point.

Bathroom Remodel + Exterior Repairs
This Bitter Lake project combined a vivid full-bath renovation with siding rot repair and exterior painting. Silver Peak coordinated the detailed bathroom finish work and weather-related exterior repairs as one project.
The homeowner, an art teacher, wanted a colorful and bright full bath. Turquoise tile, black fixtures, clean white surfaces, and carefully coordinated details bring that vision to life. Outside, the work included repairing rotted siding and painting the home.
Project Details
Shower design
The shower was built around the homeowner’s vision of a sleek, colorful tile wall, with wood-look tile niches and sharp, contrasting black hardware. The niches match the flooring, which ties the whole room together no matter where you look.
Vanity area
The vanity pairs a dark counter and white cabinet with an under-mount sink and black hardware. Above it, the smart mirror is also a medicine cabinet: the wall behind it was reframed to make full use of the available space.

Kitchen + Bathroom Remodel
This Licton Springs project combines a compact kitchen and bathroom renovation where both rooms needed to do more with limited square footage. The work focused on layout, custom built-ins, storage, and finish details that make the spaces feel more open and useful.
The kitchen uses blue lower cabinetry, warm wood uppers and trim, open shelving, bright counters, and a clean backsplash. A custom oak table and built-in bench create dining space without crowding the room. The bathroom was expanded into part of the hallway and a child’s bedroom, creating a larger full bath with a shower window and built-in shelving.
Project Details
Kitchen design
This compact kitchen delivers impactful daily functionality. The remodel brings together blue lower cabinets, lighter wood upper cabinets, open shelving, a bright backsplash, and clean counters so the room feels layered without becoming visually overwhelming.
The contrast between the painted base cabinets and the warm wood details gives the kitchen personality, while the matching sink countertop and backsplash keep it feeling calm and usable.
Custom dining solution
A custom oak table with a built-in bench solved the room’s tight dining-space challenge, creating a more efficient eating area directly within the kitchen.
Kitchen details
The stove wall, backsplash, and open shelving bring out this kitchen’s personality, and this section of backsplash still carries the blues from the lower cabinets.
Bathroom expansion
The original bathroom was a tiny room that needed to feel larger and become more functional. To make that happen, the remodel borrowed space from the hallway and part of a kids’ bedroom, allowing the finished bath to function as a true full bathroom while feeling far more spacious than before.
That extra space made room for a better layout and improved comfort.
Bathroom light and layout
A window within the shower brings valuable natural light into the small room. In a room this small, natural light becomes part of the design strategy because it keeps the enclosure from feeling boxed in.
The glass shower wall, vertical tile, and window placement work together to visually stretch the room and make the finished space feel cleaner and more open.
Built-in storage
Built-in shelving uses about a foot of former hallway space to add valuable storage without cluttering the bathroom.
That kind of decision is a good example of practical remodeling: small layout adjustments can dramatically improve storage, organization, and everyday usability in a compact bathroom.

Bathroom Remodel
This bathroom was designed to work well every day and feel good to walk into. The shower, double wood vanity, and small patterned floor tile give the room a useful layout with a little warmth. Natural light from the window helps keep it open and bright. Each area has a clear purpose, so the room feels comfortable without being crowded.
The warm wood vanity gives the room character and a natural finish. Two sinks give people room to get ready at the same time, and the small patterned floor tile adds detail without competing with the wood.
The large tile gives the shower a clean, quiet look. Two sides are glass from top to bottom, the clear shower wall and the window, so daylight fills the space.

Whole House Interior Remodel
A whole-house interior remodel in Haller Lake, including the living spaces, two bathrooms, custom woodwork, and front entry.
Project highlights include skylights in the living room, a custom wood floor vent set into the hardwood, two remodeled bathrooms, custom cabinetry and medicine cabinets, a wall-mounted toilet for added space, shower window and skylight details, dual shower heads, an accessibility-focused in-shower drying system, and a new front door.
Project Details
Explore the connected living spaces, custom wood details, bathrooms, accessibility features, and entry improvements completed throughout the home.
Overall interior scope
The living room photos show the scale of the interior work with finished hardwood flooring, a long open room, recessed lighting, large windows, and two skylights.
Main living area
The living room became one of the project’s defining spaces. The skylights, clean wall planes, recessed lighting, and large glass openings made the room feel bright and open, while the hardwood flooring added warmth throughout the interior.
This part of the project shows the value of updating the whole interior environment. The goal was not only to remodel isolated features, but to make the home feel more complete and comfortable from room to room.
Custom wood detail
A custom wooden floor vent demonstrates the level of care carried into the finish work. Rather than using a standard metal vent, the vent was built into the hardwood so it reads as part of the finished floor.
This kind of small detail helps tell the larger craftsmanship story. It shows that the remodel included not only major rooms and fixtures, but also the finish-level decisions that make an interior feel intentionally built.
Guest bathroom
The bathroom includes a glass shower, clean tile work, a vanity, and a custom window or skylight condition in the shower. That natural-light detail gives the compact bath a more special and finished feel.
Shower window detail
The shower window detail was important because it is unusual. The window and skylight condition brings light from above and makes the bathroom feel more open.
That detail is important because bathrooms can easily feel closed off. Here, the window and shower glass help bring in light while still keeping the room functional and private.
Primary bathroom cabinetry
The primary bathroom included custom cabinets, a double vanity, double sinks, and built-in medicine cabinets. The medicine cabinets were recessed into the wall instead of simply mounted on the surface, which gives the room a cleaner and more custom look.
Both bathrooms in this house used custom cabinetry. The primary bath photos show that detail clearly, especially in the cabinet layout, sink wall, mirror placement, and integrated storage.
Accessible shower feature
One of the most unique details in the project was the in-shower drying system. The homeowner needed a way to dry off without using a towel, so the shower includes an integrated warm-air drying system.
The shower also included two shower heads and careful fixture placement. This is a strong example of adapting a bathroom around real personal needs while still keeping the finished space polished and custom.
Entry update
The new front door has a beautiful stain-grade finish. The natural wood adds warmth to the entry.
