    Tour an Elegant Island Retreat in the Pacific Northwest
    The project deadline was eight months. Even in the most favorable of times, with ideal conditions, completing an entire home renovation on this timeline can be difficult. But what about the renovation of two homes in eight months? Such was the brief for Seattle-based design and architecture firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer, tasked with renovating a dated, 5,500-square-foot house in need of a full aesthetic refresh, and its counterpart, a 3,500-square-foot farmhouse, with a tight turnaround. The clients had a party planned for the spring, says firm partner and AD PRO Directory member Steve Hoedemaker. They said, We have 30 people coming, we need this done on time.What might have been a daunting task to many was an exciting challenge for the design team. Normally, a project like this would take 24 months, Hoedemaker says. The expedited timeline made it necessary for us, the contractors [Krekow Jennings], and the landscape architect [Ken Philip] to create a cohesive, shared vision from the start. We ended up speaking a shorthand where everyone was able to take a little bit of information and make all the right choices.A place for gathering, the great room in the main house features an elevated palette of earth tones. Architecture and design firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer plastered over an existing stone fireplace to create a contemporary focal point for the room. A mix of furniturevintage lounge chairs, a Roman and Williams Guild daybed and sofa, and two Phantom Hands upholstered armchairsprovides a seating option for every mood. An Umbo Inc. pendant made from Kozo paper serves as a functional work of art.Located on an island off the coast of Washington, the 25-acre lot offered privacy coupled with unimpeded water views. When we moved to the Pacific Northwest over 30 years ago, we fell in love with this area, say the homeowners, who wanted to see the beauty of the region reflected in their weekend home and a place to host many guests. The San Juan Islands are the quintessential northwest environment, with the forests, the sea, and the mountains.According to firm partner Tim Pfeiffer and the clients themselves, their city residence skews modern, but the island project required a different approach. I would characterize this home as more traditional and appropriate to its rural environment, the client continues, noting that they value context over any particular style. [We wanted] better scale and proportion to the rooms, more refined details and finishesall balanced by an aesthetic leaning toward a more comfortable and casual lifestyle on the island.Formerly a glassed-in porch, the current sunroom is just off the kitchen. A vintage Oushak rug keeps things cozy underfoot, and the velvet-upholstered Roman and Williams Guild Davenport sofa reflects the natural mossy greens of the surrounding property. Two A. Rudin swivel chairs provide a relaxed setting for a tte--tte.The main home and farmhouse had undergone a succession of renovations over the decadesthe former was built in the 1990s, while the latter dates back more than 100 years. We wanted to maintain the original character of the farmhouse, the client explains, so its remodel was more focused on interior finishes and comfort. The primary residence, which sits on a bluff overlooking the water, was dark and dated with a confusing layout that didnt flow in an intuitive way. The window heights were low, the scale of the rooms was bizarre, and there were a lot of weird asymmetries throughout, recalls Hoedemaker.Most PopularAD-it-Yourself31 Charming Farmhouse Living Room Ideas to Gather RoundBy Sarah LyonShopping7 Best Floor Lamps to Brighten Your Space in 2024By Nora TaylorArchitecture + DesignThis Colorful Spanish Apartment Feels Much Larger than 700 Square FeetBy Sara Barragn del ReyWorking within the houses existing confines, the Hoedemaker Pfeiffer team streamlined the interiorsevening out asymmetries, adding new windows to bring in more natural light and tweaking the layout to accommodate the homeowners wish for a larger kitchen. They also revamped the exterior with vertical wood cladding and the decidedly Northwest touch of a cedar-shake shingle roof. We created a new ridgeline inside so that it would center up on the fireplace in the living room, Pfeiffer says.The only items the homeowners brought with them were a few pieces of silver that were family heirlooms, so the palettelight wood, textured upholstery, patterned wallpaper in neutral tonesevolved from scratch. The only requirements were no leather, and lots of vintage rugs. We wanted to reflect what was outside the home, but bring in additional depth and sophistication using rich tones like cognac, smokey blue, and shades of green, says Peak Petersen, a principal at Hoedemaker Pfeiffer. At one of our first big meetings, we had a selection of fabrics and tiles to show the clients, and when they walked in, the outfit she was wearing matched the fabrics. We knew we were on the right track.The most important room for the culinarily inclined clients was the kitchen. One of their first requests to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer was more square footage in this room, as well as an oversized butcher block cutting board at the end of the island. To make it elegant yet functional, the firm countered the wood cabinetry with Kelly Forslunds Gregorious Pineo woven wall covering. A white shiplap ceiling leans into the farmhouse aesthetic, and the island countertop is a bold Prunella marble. Above the island, a trio of Urban Electric pendants bring an industrial edge.Most PopularAD-it-Yourself31 Charming Farmhouse Living Room Ideas to Gather RoundBy Sarah LyonShopping7 Best Floor Lamps to Brighten Your Space in 2024By Nora TaylorArchitecture + DesignThis Colorful Spanish Apartment Feels Much Larger than 700 Square FeetBy Sara Barragn del ReyBacked by a wall of built-in shelving, the dining room in the main house features a custom table by San Francisco craftsman Andrew Woodside Carter. Tucked along each side is a row of Jean De Merry Home House Co-op cerused oak chairs upholstered in a wool blend from Pollock. The painting on the wall is by Seattle artist Sarah Norsworthy, purchased through Studio E Gallery.In the great room, furniture by contemporary designers like India Mahdavi and Roman and Williams mix with vintage pieces that give the space a comfortable, lived-in feeling. Here, the design team plastered over the existing fireplace, to improve the look, with the least amount of demolition, Hoedemaker says, and installed a large cedar beam across the ceiling to bring a sense of balance. The kitchen, where the family requested an oversized butcher block cutting board at the end of the island, is a highly functional space with plenty of built-ins and elegant details such as a Prunella marble worktop and zellige tile backsplash.The original kitchen had all of these tiny, ancient appliances, says Petersen. We took over an adjacent living space to allow for the expansion and turned a glassed-in porch into a sitting area. A wood-burning stove at one end of the sunroom captures the bucolic island vibe, while a green velvet upholstered sofa upscales the space. Bedrooms were kept neutral, with little nods to a classic camp vibeplaid textiles, wood bed frames, striped linenswithout veering into overplayed motifs. In the study, where the couple enjoys knocking out some work or reading together during the day, angular furniture and sharp lines lean into a stately aesthetic, softened by jute wall coverings and a woven sisal rug.Most PopularAD-it-Yourself31 Charming Farmhouse Living Room Ideas to Gather RoundBy Sarah LyonShopping7 Best Floor Lamps to Brighten Your Space in 2024By Nora TaylorArchitecture + DesignThis Colorful Spanish Apartment Feels Much Larger than 700 Square FeetBy Sara Barragn del ReyOnce a modest farmhouse, this guest quarters dates back more than a century. The design team leaned into its history by incorporating vintage-inspired details such as beadboard, unlacquered brass hardware, and wall paneling, while keeping furniture and art on the contemporary side.Just a stones throw away, the farmhouse feels slightly more eclectic, layered as it is with poppier colors and bolder art. A space meant for guests, its kitchen centers on a vintage Swedish farm table paired with French oak chairsa cozy gathering spot for morning coffee. Bedrooms, once again, have earthy base tones, brightened with white-painted ceilings. Beadboard and wall paneling throughout create a cohesive backdrop for the rustic details, such as unlacquered brass hardware. The farmhouse is a little sweeter than the main house, says Petersen. We embraced its original charm and kept things a bit more relaxed.Dubbed the snug, and used as guest accommodations, one of the propertys original structures remains, dating back more than 100 years. In the living room, a Marija Kori armless sofa provides a bohemian vibe, its colors playing off the tones in Johanna Christiansons oil painting hanging above it.

We have favorite rooms for each part of the day, they note. Morning coffee and evening tea in the sunroom off the beautiful kitchen, with the morning sun as well as the afternoon sun streaming in. The study to work, sit, and read in during the day, the great room to gather in the evenings with a roaring fire going. Each of these rooms has been so thoughtfully curated to feel inviting, cozy, and comfortable all at the same time.Renovated in just eight months, this homelocated on an island off of Washingtonis a weekend escape for a city-dwelling couple who love to entertain. Set on a 25-acre lot overlooking sweeping water views, the house started with a confusing, cramped layout and was transformed into a warm and welcoming space for the clients, their family, and friends.In the primary bedroom, a Pierre Frey wall covering, purchased through Jennifer West Showroom, brings a subtle, geometric backdrop to the Dmitriy & Co. bed frame, above which hangs a vintage Belgian painting.

    Nintendo sues player who kept streaming pirated Switch games, taunted I can do this all day
    Nintendo is suing a player who it says repeatedly streamed pirated Switch games, while taunting the company that he couldnt be caught.Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Jesse Keighin, who it says streams games on various online platforms under his username Every Game Guru.According to the company, Keighin is a recidivist pirate who has obtained and streamed Nintendos leaked games on multiple occasions.The lawsuit alleges that since 2022, Keighin has streamed at least 10 of Nintendos leaked games before they were released, more than 50 times in total, the most recent being Mario & Luigi: Brothership.Although Nintendo says it has submitted dozens of takedown notices, and platforms such as YouTube and Twitch have shut his channels down, it says Keighin continues to unlawfully stream Nintendos copyrighted works and thumb his nose at Nintendo and the law.It also claims that Keighin taunted Nintendo, sending the company a letter boasting that he has a thousand burner channels to stream from and can do this all day'.Keighin is also accused of continuing to seek to profit off his unauthorised streaming of Nintendos games by adding CashApp details to his streams after his channels were demonitised.On top of all the above, Keighin is also accused of regularly posting links to ROM repositories, emulators and the illegally obtained prod.keys which are needed to make them run.Nintendos lawsuit includes images from Keighins streams showing frame rate and performance specs in the corner, showing the pre-release games were being played on an emulator.By not only streaming leaked games, but also directly providing users links to circumvention software, Nintendos proprietary cryptographic keys, and pirated ROM repositories, Defendant is giving his viewers everything they need to pirate as many games as they wish, Nintendo claims.Indeed, Defendant recently boasted online that he wants to help anyone and everyone who wants to get Nintendo games for free (and early), or who needs help installing and setting up Switch emulators that let you play Switch games for free.Listing 10 games it believes Keighin has streamed in a pre-release pirated form on an emulator, Nintendo is seeking $150,000 damages with respect to each copyrighted work. Given that it claims he has streamed these games more than 50 times in total, its not currently clear whether it means $150,000 per game ($1.5 million) or per stream ($7.5 million).It also seeks $2,500 for each act of circumvention Keighin made (which it says he did each time he loaded unauthorised copies of games into Ryujinx, Yuzu, or another emulator and streamed them), as well as $2,500 for each time he offered to help the public to play emulated games by providing links to emulators, ROMs and crypto keys.Post a commentRelated VGC ContentRelated ProductsPokmon Scarlet and Violet Dual PackNintendo Switch Wireless Pro ControllerNintendo Switch Joy-Con PairOther ProductsNintendo Switch OLEDNintendo Switch LiteLEGO Nintendo Entertainment SystemSome external links on this page are affiliate links, if you click on our affiliate links and make a purchase we might receive a commission.
