This Kirkland renovation began with a mid-century rambler that had a solid foundation but lacked natural light, spatial flow, and the modern finishes today’s homeowners expect. Thornberg Construction was brought in to elevate the home beyond its original constraints—reworking the layout, reimagining each room, and infusing the space with warmth, purpose, and enduring value for a young, growing family.
Our team restructured the floor plan to eliminate cramped, underutilized areas and unlock the home’s natural potential. Strategic wall removals created open transitions between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces—improving sightlines, circulation, and natural lighting. Materials and finishes were carefully selected to strike a balance between modern comfort and timeless design.
Outside, we excavated and regraded the backyard to resolve poor drainage and provide a stable foundation for an expanded deck—creating a more functional outdoor footprint and improving water management for the property overall.
Throughout the process, our in-house team oversaw every stage of the renovation to ensure design integrity and seamless execution from start to finish. The result is a fully renewed home that meets the family’s needs today and will continue to serve them well in the years ahead.
