Blue Sound Construction scraped the prior ill-functioning, outdated home down to its basement level, and added two additional stories and a rooftop deck in order to maximize the property's magnificent views of Lake Washington. The home's main floor now features an open stair, new kitchen, open floor living area floorplan with custom built-ins, a guest bedroom and bath; upstairs, a private bedroom story features a central living space and lakeview deck surrounded by laundry, master bedroom and bath with a walk in shower and closet room, teen room with lake views, and main bathroom. One flight of exterior cedar stairs leads to the rooftop deck.

Blue Sound Construction has performed many remodeling and restoration projects on this aging Tudor home in a charming Laurelhurst waterfront neighborhood. New custom windows requiring the highest craft were installed in the main, curved stairwell space; a new staircase (where one had formerly existed and been removed) renews the connection between the first and lower floors; a new bathroom replete with Brazilian cherry wainscoting and cabinetry, marble and onyx tile, and a new custom leaded glass window graces the second story; a new laundry room tidied up the mechanical area to allow for a workout space in the lower floor (not pictured); a metal grate in the driveway supports the homeowner's electric vehicle's particular needs; a new breakfast nook adds charm and serenity (not yet pictured); and many other updates, such as a leveled story and new railings and masonry have brought the home's old charm to new, improved standards (not yet pictured.) The scope involved in maintaining, restoring, and preserving a historic home requires old world craftsmanship and creativity. Through many projects over many years, the client-team cooperation has been paramount and rewarding.

This 1905 home, located in the heart of Capitol Hill's bustling neighborhood, was the perfect spot for an urban couple, but it lacked a lot of amenities and an organized layout. BSC teamed up with Nicole Taylor of MaKe Design to rework the entire layout into a beautiful home worthy of the homeowners' modern lifestyle. Many custom built-ins keep the home efficient, the new kitchen with walnut cabinetry gives the homeowner, an avid cook, the perfect stage on which to pull off her culinary adventures, the new master bed/bath features a luxurious steam shower and waterfall cement tile from Ann Sacks; the office with built-ins fosters an audiophile's passion. This home was featured in the Master Builder's Association's 2017 Remodeled Homes Tour and received high praise from the over 100 visitors that toured it.

With an architect-artist duo, we converted a home- turned-law-office into a vacation inn located in the heart of downtown Edmonds. The basement level was too low to accommodate living quarters, so we raised it several feet in the air and built in head-height. This area was then reworked as a laid-back kitchen/ office/ bath and communal living quarters (decked out with a turn table and vintage records.) Upstairs, the entire main floor was reworked to host three all new bedroom/bathroom suites. Attic spaces were reclaimed to add architectural interest. The combination of vintage finds and preserved existing finishes with sculpted architectural space now make this home an enchanting northwest getaway.

This historic home needed gentle reworking to conform it to the homeowners needs. Though three stories tall, the upstairs featured only one bathroom. We reclaimed a bedroom and small office space for a luxurious bathroom suite adjoined to the master bedroom. We refashioned the staircase to the attic floor to match existing mouldings and built a bathroom into the eaves to serve the newly reclaimed guest and teen bedroom relocated there. Finish work throughout required detailed attention to existing historic mouldings.
