Fantastic Space: Seattle Meets Paris
It’s hard to say which is much more striking when you first see this photo: the stunning view of the Seattle skyline and Space Needle, or the dramatic print of the Eiffel Tower mid-construction.
The creative owners of this house worked closely with Seattle company Janof Hald Architecture on their interior design. The homeowners themselves came up with the idea to place this huge print of the Eiffel Tower here to perform off the view of Seattle’s Space-Age landmark.

One of the owners has a design company in the city. After they came together with the thought , they discovered a photo on the internet they loved, blew up it, and published it at his workplace.
The two towers are not the only eye-catching aspects of this room’s design. The lovely reclaimed wood flooring is another tribute to Seattle design history. The wood is retrieved from a fire flooring in the home. These floors were very typical in Seattle warehouses as a form of fire protection. They consisted of solid sheets of wood put on-end vertically, so you can only see the half-inch border. The result was a flooring. This ceiling was built the exact same manner.
This breakfast corner stays directly from the kitchen. The steel table was made by the craftsman who designed and built railings to the house. The countertop is honed Carrera marble using a fabricated 2.5″ border, and the wood flooring is a bleached oak retrieved out of a French Chateau.
