Floor plan of Chez Shay by Best Practice Architecture
The custom steel pergola from Seattle Metal Fabrication is covered, making this Pacific Northwest patio useable year-'round.
Custom teal cabinets by Kable Design Build provide storage in the new mudroom, while Bedrosians hexagon tiles in Kuroi Black create a durable transition from outdoors.
Fireclay's Essentials tiles in Manzanita Satin create texture throughout, while Concrete Collaborative's Pacifica Slab in Mint Retro Mix forms the striking countertops and shower surfaces. Kohler Components fixtures in black provide a bold contrast against the custom rift white oak vanity.
A suspended net by Treehouse Supplies creates an adventurous play space with a ladder featuring Shelfology rungs in Minty Breath. The Benjamin Moore Cucumber Salad paint dip adds a playful pop of color, while a porthole window offers treetop views.
The double-stack net is a special spot for Shay to play. Below, he's got another area to get messy and have fun by the light of the Barn Light Electric sconce.
The custom staircases by Kable Design Build feature white oak treads and a powder-coated steel handrail with perforated metal guardrail by Seattle Metal Fabrication.
Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving by Kable Design Build houses the family's beloved books. The area under the stairs has been transformed into additional storage, too.
Daltile Keystone tiles in Arctic White and Desert Gray create duo-tone effect in the ADU bathroom, while a custom Kable Design Build vanity in birch plywood with Pionite Stonedust laminate top provides durable, budget-friendly style. The Concretti Reno sink in Kale sits on top.
The biggest savings here were found in labour: Liz and Matt got hands on with almost everything, and called in favors for the electric work.
The firm envisioned the pool as a spot where water floods the stone, "almost in a way of a pond remaining after the turning tides."
The tiles for the pool echo the ones used in the bathroom and kitchen.
The total cost of the build, including all appliances, plumbing fixtures, and lighting, as well as the milling of trees that were cleared, came to $514,500.
