Chermak Construction wins Regional Remodeling Award for Shoreline remodel

Continuing to set new standards of professionalism, 77 companies from across the United States were named winners at the 2019 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence.

The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure. 

This entry was recognized as a best Residential Specialty Item in the western United States region. 

“This company has won numerous Chrysalis Awards over the past 10 years, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to professionalism and excellence,” says Ken Kanline director of the program.

Chermak Construction designed and remodeled this kitchen, dining and family room for a client in Shoreline. The original kitchen was separated from the dining area by a wood-trimmed and granite tile breakfast bar.

The homeowners shared that they enjoyed collecting custom art glass art pieces and the team from Chermak saw this as an opportunity to do something unusual in the new contemporary kitchen.

A custom glass countertop was proposed and a dynamic collaboration between the homeowner, a local glass studio, and Chermak began.

The homeowners can change the color

The result was the creation of a five-layer glass countertop melted together in a kiln with the inner layers of the glass fashioned to reflect lapping waves on a sandy shore. The addition of LED edge lighting technology brings the counter to life and allows the homeowner to change both the color and intensity of the light. The counter is a beautiful and creative addition to the home.

The Chrysalis Awards program, begun in 1994, recognizes the nation’s best work in fourteen general categories of residential and commercial remodeling.

The Chrysalis Awards are open to every professional remodeler and design professional in the United States.

Pictures of the 2019 award-winning projects can be seen on the Chrysalis website beginning in late June 2019.
