Do modern designs and comforts work in historic homes? This Seattle residence says a definite yes

living room with blue chairs and two white sofas with windows on two sides

This Mediterranean Revival home was built in 1910 and although the house has been updated a number of times since then, its layout and aesthetic were very much rooted in the past. This historic property was just waiting to be brought up to date. 

Luckily the home's new owners had an ambitious vision that was to put it among the world's best homes, equipping it with modern systems, while remaining good stewards of the historic residence, by restoring it to its original condition true to its era. That was quite some balance, so to ensure they got it right they called on the experts at Studio AM Architecture who were only too happy to get involved in the project, with design firm Kelly Hohla Interiors creating the finishes.
