Award-winning local builder Quadrant Homes recently opened the doors to a new 4,200 square-foot Design Studio in Bellevue’s Commons on 90 complex, designed to reflect current premium home design trends. The studio was built with a focus on state-of-the-art modern amenities, from the latest in-home technology to gourmet kitchens and floating mirrors with vanishing TVs. The Design Studio also offers on-site design professionals to help buyers create their perfect home.

“We believe the homebuying experience should be one of the best of your life, and our new Design Studio reflects that approach,” said Ken Krivanec, president of Quadrant Homes. “Home buyers shouldn’t be expected to run all over town picking tile from different manufacturers - we want their design experience to be exciting and stress free. Our Design Studio creates a world class experience with concierge service and the best of the best design features all in one place.”

The Design Studio allows home buyers to personalize their home through a series of appointments with design experts who guide them through the selection of an array of features. The studio includes a series of kitchen and bathroom vignettes that showcase the latest countertops, flooring, appliances, and light fixtures. The studio offers premium brands including Savant, Lutron, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Cambria Bellmont, Delta and many more.

“Today’s buyers are more design-savvy than ever – it’s very common for buyers to bring in Pinterest boards showing exactly what they’re looking for,” said Krivanec. “The new studio is built to be a haven for today’s buyer, offering the latest design trends alongside the classics, with everything in one place and the experts on-hand to bring that dream home to life.”

The new Design Studio’s key features and displays include:

  • Live Displays – Buyers can test drive floating mirrors with vanishing TVs, live fireplaces, heated marble floors, automated blinds and lighting. The studio also features three interactive displays where buyers can put together finishes to see how they will look in their new home.
