Waterfront Lounge, Dining, Kitchen & Staircase

The public spaces of this Kirkland waterfront residence are designed as a sculptural extension of the luxury master closet—where contemporary architecture, custom furnishings, and curated lighting create a gallery-like setting for everyday living. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the water and landscape, while a restrained palette of warm woods, stone, metal, and glass keeps the focus on form, proportion, and atmosphere.

Open-plan great room with a contemporary fireplace lounge on one side and a stone kitchen island and dining area on the other, framed by expansive glazing.

Lounge: Sculptural Comfort by the Water

The lounge acts as a curated living gallery, framing views of the water while offering deeply comfortable, sculptural seating. A linear fireplace wall and custom media surround bring warmth and drama to the double-height volume.

  • Double-height lounge anchored by a linear fireplace wall.
  • Tailored sofa and sculptural chairs on a softly patterned rug.
  • Stone nesting tables and arc floor lamps create a layered, curated look.

Kitchen: Monolithic Stone and Precision Detailing

The kitchen is conceived as a monolithic stone composition, visually calm yet highly functional. Integrated lighting and concealed appliances keep the focus on proportion, texture, and the dramatic waterfall island.

  • Long waterfall island in veined stone with custom stools.
  • Full-height stone backsplash with minimalist black hood.
  • Dark cabinetry and integrated appliances for a seamless look.

Dining: Floating Transparency and Dramatic Lighting

The dining area feels airy and luminous, with transparent seating and bold statement lighting. Positioned between kitchen and terrace, it effortlessly supports daily dining and larger gatherings.

  • Linear dining table paired with translucent sculpted chairs.
  • Oversized globe pendants that visually link to the kitchen island.
  • Soft rug and direct views toward the pool and landscape.

Staircase: Vertical Sculpture in Motion

The staircase becomes a vertical sculpture within the great room, lightened by open risers and animated by a cascading pendant installation.

  • Open-riser stair with wood treads and dark steel stringer.
  • Cluster of slender pendant drops emphasizing the height of the space.
  • Large circular artwork and wood wall cladding grounding the composition.
