Water looms giant from this glass-encased downtown penthouse—and never simply due to its expansive views, which span from the Seattle Artwork Museum to Puget Sound. Fish-adorned wallpaper swims throughout the partitions of the centerpiece eating room, an audacious assertion that lends the house an aquarium-like high quality and an instantly legible sense of fashion. “It’s the least generic apartment you’re ever going to search out,” says Heritage Residential actual property agent Lance Neely.
How do you outshine the bare-bones stunning structure of a house constructed like a solarium? Inside design with a perspective. Pulp Design Studios, which prides itself on a mixture of “luxurious design” and “a aptitude for the sudden,” makes beautiful use of the house.
The apartment’s eye-catching wallpaper, modern built-ins, and pops of shade would really feel proper at house in a classy, boutique resort; applicable, contemplating the apartment’s present use as a pied-à-terre. “There’s an vitality to that place that simply feels good,” Neely says.
“Aha” moments all through the house lend to an overarching sense of ease and luxurious. “It’s simply actually considerate,” Neely says. Wine storage hides behind the kitchen backsplash. Customized cupboards from Seattle-based Henrybuilt supply specialised storage for knives and different kitchen requirements.
Extra primary facilities—like two easy however well-appointed loos, a stacked washer and dryer and further storage within the butler’s pantry, and high-end kitchen home equipment—imply the small house works equally nicely for full-time residents because it does for globetrotters seeking to maintain an house within the metropolis.
Pocket doorways all through present uninterrupted movement and extra versatility than the apartment’s 1,171 sq. toes would possibly recommend: slide the doorways on both facet of the lounge’s gasoline hearth shut, and you’ve got a second bed room. Open them, and the house turns into a simple sitting room or library. Home hunters typically run into high-character extras like these in old-school complexes; in additional fashionable condos, like this 1985 construct, not a lot. (The famend structure agency behind the constructing, then generally known as Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, helps clarify the quirk.)
Effortlessly trendy and distinctly waterfront dwelling extends past the apartment’s glassy partitions: Pike Place Market’s recent fish and produce, 4 Seasons’ luxe seafood restaurant, and all of the island locations of the Seattle ferry terminal are only a block away.
