Condo Interiors Require Good Plans
Written by faith | 6On Sunday, August 16th, I toured the 1111 East Pike Street Condos located in Capitol Hill Seattle. As a Seattle interior designer, this is my neighborhood and for more than a year Iobserved the construction and listened to comments of colleagues and neighbors.

It was very quiet in contrast to the opening party I attended a couple months ago. Now I could actually see the interiors. Tom Kundig, architect (also well known) and Anne Michelson, entrepreneur, paired to design and develop the project. Reflecting the urban setting, the materials are utilitarian. Floor to ceiling windows expand the space.

Space allocation for the bedroom and closet areas is compromised while the kitchen living areas are expansive in my opinion. In the penthouse, for example, the kitchen is sufficiently generous for a family of 6. My tour reinforced for me that a floor plan must provide all the elements needed for a condo living experince.

In an era where a queen size bed is a minimum standard, it is problematic to see a penthouse with a double bed. Of all the floor plans available for this building, there were two I really liked. I was told that alterations were planned to increase the space available for a bed and clothing. This will be good news for condo seekers who want to live in such an attractive building and desirable neighborhood.
