Beacon Hill Rehab

Location: Seattle, WA

Design Goals: Located in Seattle’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, this major renovation reimagined an existing home from the inside out. The owners partnered with H2D Architecture + Design to undertake a complete, down-to-the-studs remodel, including new siding, roofing, and windows, along with a comprehensive reconfiguration of both floors to create a more functional and efficient living environment. The main floor is designed around an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area, where vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space and bring a feeling of openness to the compact footprint. A thoughtfully planned pantry, mudroom, bedroom suite, and powder room provide everyday convenience while maximizing the home’s functionality. A new carport and rear deck extend the home’s usability outdoors. The lower level accommodates additional bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, and a recreation space, creating a flexible layout that supports a variety of household needs. Through a comprehensive structural and spatial transformation, the renovation brings renewed life to the home while making the most of its existing footprint.

Style: Transitional

Design Challenges + Site Constraints: The primary challenge was maximizing functionality within the home’s existing footprint while working within budget constraints. With limited square footage, every inch was carefully considered to accommodate essential living spaces, integrated storage, and efficient circulation. Rather than starting from scratch, the design builds upon the existing structure, retaining and reworking the home’s underlying framework wherever practical. This approach balanced cost-conscious decision-making with thoughtful space planning, transforming a compact home into a more functional and cohesive living environment.
