Name a cocktail more expressive than the espresso martini. Dark. Moody. Classic, with a smooth richness. Avenue Bellevue has brought this same appeal to the design of one of our most unique suite layouts. Experience the first installment in our “Crafted Home Series,” appropriately named The Avenue Roastery.

Drawing inspiration from The Avenue Roastery cocktail created by InterContinental Seattle Bellevue’s mixologist Marie Yoshimizu for a past Avenue Bellevue event, local designer Tara Nelson created a home in The Residences Tower #1410 with bold yet relatable appeal. The entry features black-and-tan geometric wallpaper and sculptural lighting for a lounge-like first impression. Expansive windows balance the dark palette with natural light. A second bedroom doubles as a refined home office, while the primary bedroom layers textiles and tonal depth for a hotel-worthy retreat. Finished with signature Avenue Bellevue kitchens and baths. The unit is fully furnished and available to tour.

“The suite was a study in contrast—compact in scale yet rich in atmosphere—tailored for those seeking a home that feels both elevated and seductive,” said Tara Nelson. “The result is a dramatic first impression that signals confidence, sophistication, and intention.”

Expansive windows flood the main living space with natural light, allowing the darker palette to feel balanced rather than heavy. The plan was carefully zoned to maximize function without sacrificing style, including another bedroom that seamlessly doubles as a refined home office—private yet visually connected to the rest of the suite. In the main bedroom, layered textiles, tailored furnishings, and tonal depth elevate the space into a retreat that feels hotel-worthy and deeply personal. 

“Every detail was curated to feel intentional, immersive, and slightly unexpected—proof that high design doesn’t require excess square footage, only a strong point of view.”
