Laurelhurst Contemporary: A Traditional Home with a Modern Twist

Discover the Laurelhurst Contemporary, a single-family residence located in Seattle, Washington and designed by Paul Moon Design in 2022.

This property boasts an unpretentious, quiet, and comfortable atmosphere, blending traditional proportions with modern elements. Its exterior palette is understated, yet textural and offers a connection to the lake and the neighborhood. Further into the site, terraced gardens transition from the street to the lake and invite pauses at each level. Inside, the home is light and airy, with white walls and black-gridded windows, while the homeowner’s art collections create a unique atmosphere. The general contractor admired the design team’s insistence on quality control throughout construction.

Phinney Mini: A Charming Reimagined Two-Story Home

Contemporary living room with neutral tones and ample natural light.

Tucked away in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge neighborhood, surrounded by old-growth trees, is the reimagined two-story home of a young family of four. Dubbed Phinney Mini for its compact footprint and idyllic location, the 1,665 square-foot (155 m2) house was designed by Best Practice Architecture to be a functional, modern and exquisitely detailed living space that celebrates the family’s heritage.

The Best Practice team achieved this by removing the interior walls of the main level and introducing two organizing elements, an entry box and an oak box, that house necessary domestic functions in an elegant and bespoke fashion. In addition, they designed a generous family room, a detached work-from-home office and a pocket door leading to a bathroom with a traditional Japanese soaking tub. Thanks to Best Practice’s expertise, Phinney Mini is now a charming and luxurious home that will be cherished for years to come.
