Seattle boasts a rich history that is reflected in its charming historic homes. These architectural gems tell stories of the city’s past, and many homeowners take pride in owning and preserving them. However, these homes often require renovations to meet modern living standards. Preserving the character and charm of these historic homes while incorporating modern amenities is both an art and a science, and it’s a challenge that we at Blue Water Design Build embrace with passion and expertise.
Modernization for Comfort
While preserving history is essential, modernizing a historic home is often necessary for comfortable living. Here’s how we strike the balance:
- Updated Electrical and Plumbing: Old wiring and plumbing can pose safety hazards. We upgrade these systems to meet modern standards while concealing them to maintain the home’s aesthetic.
- Insulation and Energy Efficiency: We employ energy-efficient insulation and HVAC systems to make historic homes more comfortable and eco-friendly without compromising their appearance.
- Functional Spaces: We work closely with homeowners to reconfigure spaces to meet contemporary needs, whether that means creating an open-concept living area, adding a modern kitchen, or expanding bathrooms.
- Seamless Integration: Our goal is to make modern additions and updates seamlessly blend with the existing structure. This creates a cohesive and visually appealing result.

It’s about honoring the craftsmanship of a bygone era while adapting it for contemporary living.
