Anderson

A historic French and Spanish inspired home receives a full site renovation with a new entry gate sequence, privacy walls, and water feature. The side yards include a custom stone council circle patio, grotto patio with water feature, and new stairs. The rear yard includes formal dining and entertaining spaces, and a San Juan Island inspired custom fire pit hang-out patio.

Hurlisano

Very small side yard (8'W x 30'L main area, plus a 4' W dogleg around the back) space, on the north side of a three-story urban infill residential project house in Seattle gets turned into an urban retreat for two. The landscape includes dining and sitting area, bbq, in-ground fire pit, steel retaining walls, and planters, and dark stained wood fence. Plant materials add contrast and enclosure. The diagonal plan creates movement, visual depth, and intimacy, in a delicate small side yard.

Capitol Hill

Whole site landscape renovation in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, where the full shade front yard includes a new water feature and plantings, and the sunny rear yard receives a new dining deck, arbor, seating area, and raised garden beds for edibles

Urban landscape masterplan and installation. We created continuity of color, texture, and form starting at the street and front yard, and reaching to the rear yard and alleyway. Contemporary and naturalistic plantings blur the lines of rigidity and formality of this modern garden, while the structure of hardscaping holds the composition together year-round.

Magnolia Residence

Mid-century architecture inspired the renovated landscape design including parking strip redesigned with drought tolerant plants, new patios, deck, water and fire features and renovated plants throughout the landscape.

Magnolia Front Yard

Removing yards of old brick, the front yard becomes a welcoming space with a new entry garden including vats of blooming perennials attracting bees and hummingbirds. The new address sign brings a modern touch to the traditional home. Stormwater management techniques including a landscape stone swale and downspout diversion are used to keep water on site.

Forbes Backyard and Water Feature

The new home came with lawn and a new fence. Working with the owner we created a custom design for the rear yard including an intimate, but striking water feature fountain and rill, a large concrete entertaining patio, and areas for relaxation (hammocks) and outdoor seating. Plant material lean towards the contemporary, while including roses, hydrangeas, and tomatoes.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modern farmhouse kitchen, and I’m happy to say that Maison Kitchen and Bath led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, our kitchen looks like it could be the envy of Pinterest. I expressed my wishes of having a light, airy feel with natural but polished finishes, and they truly delivered – the kitchen in my home is to die for. They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen. I couldn’t recommend Maison K&B more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I had the pleasure of working with Maison Kitchen and Bath on renovating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since it was built in the 50’s. I’m quite environmentally minded, so I knew the appliances and electrical elements needed an update. I also knew it needed a bit of a refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Haus Design + Build led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured on Architecture Digest. I expressed my wishes of having high ceilings and large windows, and they truly delivered – the natural light in my new home is to die for. They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen.
