A Blending of Mountain Modern - Dennis E. Zirbel, Architect
This Mountain Modern style residence incorporates a blend of contemporary architectural elements along with traditional alpine form. The owners couldn’t decide what style of house they wanted—a more traditional expression or a more modern home—so we intentionally blurred the lines to achieve this whimsical and balanced design. The homesite provides spectacular green belt views, which became a driving force in the architectural response. Through precision-driven site analysis,

This 5,956-square-foot downtown location offers more than just a great pizza – it blends restaurant, café, bar, and Italian market into a single, multifaceted gathering space. The design is anchored by a generous bar that serves as the project’s sculptural


West Side Road Residence in San Juan Island, Washington by Heliotrope Architects
The home is comprised of four structures organized to create a courtyard space, protected from offshore winds - as well as from a robust deer population intent on garden destruction. The clients desired a low-maintenance design, respectful of its exposure to the elements and built to last generations. Each structure is a simple gable, with deep overhangs for weather protection. Connection between buildings is provided via a courtyard engawa, allowing engagement with the garde

Albert Hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas by Clayton Korte in Partnership with New Waterloo
Located in historic downtown Fredericksburg, Albert Hotel builds on the more than 175-year legacy of the Keidel family’s relationship with this Hill Country town. Taking its name from Albert Keidel—an architect, historic preservationist, and man-about-town—the Keidel family’s connection to Fredericksburg dates to 1847, when Albert’s great-grandfather arrived to serve as the town doctor and judge. The hotel is located on the site where the Keidel family pharmacy and homestead


Wenatchee River Cabin in Plain, Washington by Wittman Estes
The client had acquired this nearly 1/2-acre property to serve as a base camp for outdoor adventures. For 10 years he camped on site, often with friends, becoming intimately acquainted with the landscape and the region. Just prior to the pandemic, he decided to build, desiring a small cabin that kept the focus on the forest and the river. As design and construction began and work-from-home became the norm, the owner, who was living in the greater Seattle area, began spending

Paradise Found - A Haven of Entertainment. Skyline Cinema. Big Sky, Montana.
The theater at Skyline Ranch almost didn’t happen. Like many custom homes, budgets swelled as the design evolved. Lines were examined. Decisions were weighed. At one point, the theater design was at risk of “value engineering”. Practicality won the argument. But only briefly. The homeowner couldn’t shake it. The idea of a space dedicated to immersion, to movies, music, sports, and the simple act of disappearing for a while kept resurfacing. This wasn’t about adding another a


Comfort, Reimagined — The Ofuro Concrete Soaking Tub by Sonoma Cast Stone
Luxury home design is shifting. Bigger isn’t the flex anymore — better experience is. Wellness architecture, spa-inspired bathrooms, mindful materials, and intentional living are defining today’s most coveted homes. The Ofuro concrete soaking tub fits this movement like it was born for it — because, in many ways, it was. The defining beauty of the Japanese soaking ritual is simple: full immersion. Instead of reclining in an awkward semi-prone position, the Ofuro’s deep, stee
