Rejuvenating ’92: Design Divine and True

Experience modern elegance with our recent renovation of a 1992 mid-century home. Focused on the kitchen and bathrooms, we employed innovative solutions to revamp the spaces while preserving their original charm. In the bathrooms, we tackled the challenge of renovation without complete overhaul. A clever solution involved creating a steel picture frame to drop the tub into, allowing us to avoid replacing all the existing tile. Refreshing all cabinets and countertops, we maintained a cohesive aesthetic throughout. The kitchen underwent a full transformation with a new  island that features a “massive” cantilevered counter, supported by a complex steel structure. In the space, our aim was to enhance functionality while preserving a sense of lightness.  We achieved this through thoughtful design choices and the addition of extra counter space. Collaborating with a local artist, we infused personality with whimsical wallpaper. Our commitment to seamless integration is evident in the use of contemporary veneers that blend seamlessly with the home’s original aesthetic. Beyond interiors, we added a playful sitting tensile net to the outdoor deck for recreation and new cable wire rail system to open up the view. At 2atara design + construction, we deliver transformative design solutions that marry function with style.

Marvelous Modern Mahin

Transforming a 70-year-old home into a modern masterpiece! Our clients entrusted us with their eclectic taste, blending 50’s charm with edgy contemporary design. We seamlessly integrated found objects and original wood to create a curated blend of old and new. From mapping dead spaces to repurposing corridors into bathrooms, every inch was optimized for efficiency and innovation. Our kitchen design pushed boundaries with a sleek recessed exhaust hood, maximizing space without sacrificing style. At 2atara design + construction, we honor the past while embracing the future with transformative design solutions.

Brilliant Bick Tiny House

Dive into the brilliance of the Bick Tiny House by 2atara! 🌿 This recently completed project is a testament to versatile design, where a former music studio has been artfully transformed into a compact haven.

Creating Connection with Style: 2atara’s Regency Office Transformation

2atara’s goal for the Regency Office TI on Bainbridge Island was to create a feeling of connection and a seamless indoor/outdoor experience, vital for a client whose primary office is in Hawaii. Within a LEED certified building with radiant concrete floors, innovative interior-design blends the industrial metal structure with moved walls and captivating sightlines.

An accent wall designed by Abnormals Anonymous, a local wallpaper artist, infuses artistic flair. Metal countertops reflect the building’s ambiance, creating cohesion. The clever kitchen counter design running through the floor to ceiling windows connects indoor and outdoor elements, while antique surfboards nod to Hawaii’s influence.

Relaxation space with rock-like pillows and visual ceiling continuity from outside the office into the conference room add character & additional connection. Thoughtful blinds strike a balance between outdoor views and blocking harsh sunlight.

2atara Unveils Cutting-Edge Office Transformation: Repurposed Warehouse Transformed into a Sustainable and Stylish Workspace

Presenting our innovative newest office transformation, where we creatively repurposed an old warehouse to build our own contemporary space. The interior was organized around long view sheds, emphasizing openness and cohesion. A neutral color palette makes the area appear larger and fresher. The project consolidated storage spaces, added a workshop, and brings improved parking for clients. Notably, the office benefits from a large insulated garage door, as well as the incorporation of recycled glass elements, further enhancing sun exposure, energy efficiency, and sustainable design practices. Platforms for offices and a loft space create an illusion of spaciousness. This project is a demonstration of 2atara’s creativity and commitment to building functional and inspiring spaces. From the sustainable repurposing of the warehouse to the strategic organization of the interior, every aspect of this project showcases our passion for exceptional design.
