Serene Lakeview Seattle Remodel | Interior Photography by Emily Keeney

Some homes just feel calm the moment you walk in—and Serene Lakeview was exactly that. Designed by Seattle-based architecture firm Atelier Drome and brought to life by the expert team at BrightWork Builders, this full-house remodel was a seamless blend of vision and craftsmanship. Photographing this project as a Seattle interior photographer was a quiet kind of joy—the kind of space that invites you to slow down and really unwind.

As someone who specializes in interior and architectural photography, I’m always drawn to spaces that are both intentional and livable. From the first moment I walked in, it was clear this home was designed with restraint and clarity, allowing light, texture, and proportion to do the talking. The natural palette, soft transitions, and thoughtful material choices all created a visual rhythm I wanted to preserve in every frame.

The collaboration between Atelier Drome and BrightWork Builders was evident in every detail—from the clean lines of the millwork to the way natural light moved through the space throughout the day. The kitchen was a standout for me: quiet, grounded, and effortlessly functional, with warm tones and refined finishes that feel timeless. Hidden storage keeps the sightlines clean and functional.

Photographing homes like this is where my commercial photography work truly overlaps with my love for storytelling. There was no need to overly style or stage—just a deep appreciation for how the architecture and build quality came together to create something serene and lasting. This kind of project is a dream for any architectural photographer in Seattle or beyond.

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to capture such a thoughtful collaboration between designer and builder, and to contribute imagery that reflects the calm beauty of this home.
