Nestled in the heart of Seattle’s historic Queen Anne neighborhood, this 1930s bungalow underwent a transformative remodel that brought new life to an ageing classic. Our team had the opportunity to completely reimagine the home from the ground up—literally. The house was lifted to create a more functional lower level, allowing us to expand the livable space while preserving the original character and charm of the exterior.

Inside, the space was completely refreshed with a colorful, open, and modern aesthetic that reflects the vibrant personality of our client. From the very beginning, their energy was contagious, inspiring the entire design and construction team throughout the process. The result is a bright, welcoming home that feels both playful and refined.

Axiom’s scope included full architectural and construction services, as well as the selection of all interior furnishings, fixtures, and art. The final design is a seamless blend of old and new: a joyful, modern interior wrapped in the warmth of a classic bungalow shell.

This project was a true collaboration, and we’re proud to have helped breathe new life into a home with so much history—and so much heart.

Located in Seattle’s Madison Park neighborhood, this single-level mid-century modern home underwent a thoughtful and refined remodel designed to honor its architectural roots while elevating its livability for a dynamic, active family. With a sprawling floor plan that effortlessly connects to a secluded backyard, the home is both a private retreat and a vibrant hub for gathering.

At the core of the renovation is the kitchen. A true showpiece, the new kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry, a generous island that invites connection, a pass through to the adjacent formal dining room, and a casual dining area for more intimate family meals. Each dining space opens to the back yard, making it easy to enjoy an evening glass of wine by the custom steel firepit or take refuge in the shade on a hot summer’s day. 

Beyond the kitchen, the entire home was refreshed with a clean, modern aesthetic that maintains the spirit of mid-century design — warm wood tones, open sightlines, tons of natural light, and bold pops of color. A dedicated guest suite offers privacy and comfort for visitors, while a newly constructed detached workout studio provides a dedicated space tailored to support the client’s rigorous triathlon training.

A classic Capitol Hill craftsman with all the bells and whistles!

This project was truly a labor of love. The homeowner knew his family’s forever home would some day be found, nestled in the north east neighborhood of Capitol Hill. A community of some of the finest, and oldest homes in the city this project required a refined and elegant design to match its surroundings.

While staying true to the original character of this home and respecting the bones of the structure, refinishing and expanding family gathering spaces and creating more bedrooms were top of this family’s priority list. A dormer addition on the top floor, folded seamlessly into the orignal structure, allowed for ample storage while creating a secluded primary bedroom and ensuite bath with stunning views of Lake Washington. On the main floor, the kitchen was modernized while referencing the original classic architecture, transforming it into a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The palette and materials used throughout flow with contemporary neutral tones, accentuated with pops of color and pattern in unexpected places. A full cosmetic update of all bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces breathes new life into this classic Seattle home.
