“Our Urban Harmony project in Kirkland is a prime example of a beautiful home that needed to be brought to the next level,” says Principal Designer Anna Popov. “On the surface, everything looked great. But living in the home revealed opportunities to make it work much harder for the family.”
The home was newly built, so this wasn’t renovation for renovation’s sake. We looked at how the family moved, gathered, entertained, and experienced the home, then identified where design could improve its performance.
What we addressed ↓
◉ Main-floor planning — Reworked the living and dining layouts to improve circulation and create stronger connections between spaces.
◉ Dining functionality — Removed the fixed dining table and redesigned the area for greater flexibility and a better relationship with the outdoor courtyard.
◉ Sightlines + architecture — Optimized internal views and furniture placement to complement, rather than compete with, the existing architecture.
◉ Material balance — Introduced softer textures, forms, and finishes to counter the home’s harder industrial elements.
◉ Furnishings + specification — Curated furniture and pieces around scale, proportion, function, comfort, and the architectural language of the home.
◉ Privacy + technology — Integrated SmartGlass into the primary suite to provide privacy while preserving light and openness.
The result: a home that looks cohesive, functions with greater ease, and better supports the way this family actually lives.
