Remodeling in Redmond

Building in Redmond

Redmond's established neighborhoods, Education Hill, Grass Lawn, and the streets around Idylwood, were largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, and their two-story colonials and split-levels are now decades behind the households living in them. The typical Redmond client comes to us with a dual-career household, a need for two real home offices, and a kitchen that was designed for a different era of family life. These homes take modernization well: ceilings can open, kitchens can expand into unused dining rooms, and primary baths can grow into adjacent closets.

Redmond's growth around light rail and the tech campuses has made staying and improving more attractive than trading up in a competitive market. We handle permits through the City of Redmond, which runs an organized digital review process, and we design around the practical constraints of occupied family homes, phasing work so school and work-from-home routines survive the project. ADUs are also gaining momentum here, particularly above-garage units that add flexible space without sacrificing yard.

ON EDUCATION HILL WE DESIGN AROUND WORK-FROM-HOME FIRST, BECAUSE IN REDMOND THE HOME OFFICE IS NOT A SPARE-ROOM AFTERTHOUGHT, IT IS A LOAD-BEARING PART OF DAILY LIFE.
