Fox Island Residence

This remodel is located on the shoreline of Fox Island, a quiet island community on Puget Sound. Our team is proud of the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness as we added foundations, expanded the living room/great room, tied together the kitchen and primary bedroom and bathroom, and overhauled the exterior structure and landscaping.

We installed the 14-foot tall custom steel pivot door along with Fleetwood pivot doors and windows throughout the house. We salvaged and refinished the cedar panel ceiling that had been installed in the original house and set clear vertical grain cedar paneling on the walls, ceilings, and columns. Oak casework, doors, and cabinets were fabricated offsite. Baba reclaimed oak wood floors were installed throughout the interiors. We installed the gas fireplaces and fabricated steel surrounds that have hidden television and access panels. The most notable interior element is the architectural sandblasted steel bridge that passes through the entire second level of the interior great room, accessing the upper guest room, bathroom, office, and outdoor deck.

The exterior decks were done with Ipe wood. The original asphalt driveway was removed and replaced with pervious eco-pavers and the tennis court and pathways were resurfaced. For the finishing touches, we installed new landscaping and lighting, including the addition of raw steel planter boxes and landscape walls.
