Our clients’ beautiful Camano Island beachfront 1970s post-and-beam home has a strong mid-century architectural bent, but previous owners had made many remodeling decisions that ran counter to the architecture of the house. We were brought in to orchestrate a sympathetic design approach to peel away decades of questionable remodels, bringing the house back to its mid-century roots.

The clients love mid-century architecture and, along with the waterfront location, that was the driving inspiration for the house. A completely reworked kitchen layout and updates in the bathrooms and basement bar honor the ‘70s glamour of the house, making a great home for vacation memories.

Light colors and natural materials were employed to echo the textures and colors of the sea. Retro features and finishes throughout lend a sense of playfulness and color.
