Board & Vellum Architecture and Design

Board & Vellum Headquarters

Board & Vellum Headquarters / We were incredibly fortunate to be able to design our new office and event space to our own specifications! Spreading over two floors, the primary design goal was to capture the personal feel of our work and translate that into an office space.

Oasis Tea Zone Capitol Hill

Oasis Tea Zone Capitol Hill / The client came to us to design a new bubble tea cafe in an existing storefront in the Pike-Pine corridor. Our concept was to draw attention deep into the space, encouraging visitors to enter off the street. We replaced a partial-height wall with an open railing, to develop an eye-catching point of sale comprised of a walnut wood slat canopy and blue stained wood to draw visitors into the space.

Seattle Box / Residential Remodel in Seattle's Capitol Hill Neighborhood

Ada's Technical Books and Cafe

Ada's Technical Books and Cafe / Ada Lovelace was a 19th Century writer, mathematician, pioneer, and the initial inspiration for Ada’s Bookstore and Café and The Office at Ada’s. The impetus for the project was to create the “book retailer of the future.” Achieving this vision required an adaptive-reuse and addition and a pioneering approach to the neighborhood bookstore. The challenge would be to convert a dilapidated single-story craftsman into a refurbished small scale mixed-use project.

Queen Anne Craftsman

Queen Anne Craftsman / This 1904 Craftsman home was remodeled in the 1980s and desperately in need of injecting some new life to the plan.
By opening up the main floor, we created a grand space for entertaining, a quiet window seat off the entry, and a generous mudroom at the back entrance.

Under the Eaves

Under the Eaves / This second story remodel presented a challenging layout reconfiguration, ultimately achieved by utilizing the space under this West Seattle home’s hip-roofed eaves and dormers. By creating custom built-ins and optimizing wall placement, we were able to completely transform what was a dark, under-used attic-like floor of the home.

Urban Farmhouse

Urban Farmhouse / Situated in the City with a large lot surrounded by gardens, this house maximizes square footage to get as much living space as possible in a small footprint while straddling the line between rural and urban. They key to this is opening up the main floor but still dividing it into three “rooms” which are all open to each other and carefully mixing materials. The rooms are divided with simple stock trim used in creative ways to help visually provide interest and division.

Ballard Work Loft

Ballard Work Loft / This dynamic company wanted a fresh space which visually aligned with the culture of the firm. The office needed to be comfortable for employees with a laid back yet professional energy for receiving clients. We crafted custom furniture from door slabs, re-used salvaged wood and furniture from their previous office, and kept a clean and consistent palette. Private offices are separated by divided lite windows and doors providing the required acoustical separation.

Capital Pacific

Capital Pacific / This commercial office design project for a boutique real estate firm represents the fortunate opportunity to work with a vibrant, growing company, while remodeling a great mid-century commercial building. The design revolves around opening up the existing floor plan to allow for a more flexible layout capable of hosting informal business gatherings.

Ballard Locks Residence

Ballard Locks Residence / This project was a whole house remodel requiring a re-imagining of a tired, inefficient, and challenging 1980’s remodel of a 1937 home. Removing the shackles of the lackluster 1980’s remodel and modernizing the home to last for decades more, this house reaps the benefits of salvaging embodied energy while looking towards the future.

The Office at Ada's

The Office at Ada's / Behind Ada’s Technical Books and Cafe, a second story co-working space accommodates 20 people and takes its spirit from British computing pioneer Alan Turing, anchored by an inspirational quote as you ascend the stairs. With that in mind, we integrated both classic and new design elements. From exposed duct work to the vintage kitchen fixtures and found storage lockers, the space evokes a sense of history married to modern.

Light Filled Basement

Light Filled Basement / Residential Remodel of a formerly dark basement in Seattle.

Hilltop Flat / The original floor plan and finishes presented a challenge, but the bones and location were too good for the client to pass up. A walled-in kitchen was closed off from the floor-to-ceiling windows and mismatched neoclassical trim was at odds with the building’s vintage.

By eliminating walls, the new design unifies kitchen-living-and-dining into a grand space optimized for the downtown view. An earthy blanket of patterned concrete tile defines the kitchen and wraps up the cooktop/backsplash.

Classic Laurelhurst Kitchen

Classic Laurelhurst Kitchen / This bright and classic kitchen transforms a former cramped and dark room familiar to many smaller Seattle homes into an inviting heart of a home. Working with a timeless material palette, we created a gracious space perfect for entertaining, cooking, and interacting with the adjacent rooms. This remodel shows how simple moves can increase the livability of a small kitchen while adding value to the home and enjoyment to the owners.

Orange is The New Knob

Orange is The New Knob / The kitchen of this remodeled Capitol Hill Bungalow was inspired by the clients’ collection of mid-century teak furniture and vintage orange cabinet knobs they had been holding onto for years. Working with their eclectic collection, our team was able to complement these treasured artifacts and incorporate them into a fresh and bright kitchen that allows for easy entertaining.

Tint School of Makeup and Cosmetology

Tint School of Makeup and Cosmetology / This combination salon and school of cosmetology consists of a street-level retail space in the heart of Seattle’s retail core adjacent to Macy’s. Working with an existing ceiling and lighting system, the area was opened up with bright walls and lighter wood accents. Custom retail shelving and an efficient floor plan helped maximize the number of students while keeping a comfortable experience for the salon clients.

Sammamish Split

Sammamish Split / This 1980 split-level had great bones, but the owners wanted updated finishes and a more family-friendly layout.

Montlake Tudor / By designing an addition on three floors, and lowering the floor of the basement, Board & Vellum gave this Seattle family the space they needed to grow.

Lowercase Brewery

Lowercase Brewery / Board & Vellum worked with the Lowercase team to design a space that would be comfortable and inviting while maintaining the industrial vibe of the building and neighborhood.
