Denny Blaine Residence
This Arts and Crafts residence, originally designed by architect Sherwood Ford in the early 1920s, has undergone a generational renovation, breathing new life into its historic charm for today’s modern family. The comprehensive update introduces a spacious new kitchen and family room, alongside a functional home office, covered outdoor fireplace terrace, a playful attic space, and an immersive media room and fitness area in the basement.
The transformation emphasizes natural light, enhancing the connection between interior spaces and elevating views throughout the home. Thoughtfully designed circulation pathways facilitate smooth transitions, enriching the overall experience of the residence. Curated millwork and exquisite finishes celebrate the architectural heritage while seamlessly integrating contemporary elements. This careful balance of old and new not only honors the home’s original character but also creates environments that encourage family interaction and connection.
Ultimately, this renovation exemplifies a symbiotic blend of history and modernity, making it a true landmark of aesthetic and functional achievement in Seattle’s architectural landscape.
