Designed for a retired couple and realized within a modest budget, this island retreat is perched on a narrow, rocky knoll within a rare grove of old-growth trees. A straightforward gabled form, constructed with prefabricated trusses, serves as both an economical strategy and a means of creating generous spatial volume and visual interest. At 1,450 square feet, the part-time residence is intentionally minimalist and contemporary, allowing the owners to easily maintain the hom

This project is a substantial remodel and addition to an unassuming 1940s single-family ranch in Northeast Seattle with a focus on sustainability, durability, indoor-outdoor living, and generational flexibility. Designed during the COVID quarantine, the family realized they needed to rethink how their home should function in the “new normal” and beyond. The owners wanted a house that would serve them now and into the future, no matter the shape of their family, requiring us

When Dan and Sandra Wilson, both designers, first walked into the apartment, they were already familiar with the building, and they were intrigued by the listing images. “It looked like a Miami nightclub from the 80s” they recall. “The views were outstanding, and the rooms were flooded with daylight. But the finishes were dated and eccentric, which is an understatement.” Dan turned to his wife and said, “we have to buy this.” Every surface was covered in bright finishes inclu

The clients had long vacationed on the island and wished to create a comfortable getaway home for family and for entertaining friends, eventually shifting the residence to a more frequently occupied home as they age. The couple shared the firm’s interest in a site-sensitive approach to design, as well as a commitment to net-zero energy. The 2,474-square-foot cedar-clad home is located in the San Juan Island Archipelago along a rocky, windswept shoreline, exposed to weather t

Atop a modest rise with sweeping views of Bellingham Bay, this ground-up home was designed for a young family with a deep connection to the outdoors and a passion for food. The clients purchased the site with a modest mid-century house and initially considered a remodel, but were instead able to move the original structure to a nearby lot, where it continues to serve as a home for a new owner. Their vision was to create a new family home anchored by a large kitchen and gather

The Tributary Hotel sits along Third Street in the heart of McMinnville, a town known for its walkable historic downtown and deeply rooted wine culture. The street itself is lined with preserved turn of the century buildings, small shops, cafes, and tasting rooms that reflect the character of the Willamette Valley. Every detail is designed to feel quiet, local, and lasting. Here, time moves differently—the pace slows, food becomes a thoughtful ritual, and the craftsmanship sp

The clients came to the design team with a vision for their home: replace the existing undersized house with a three-story home that highlights the lakefront view and is anchored into the steep slope by a monolithic wall on one side. The homeowners had also lived extensively in Europe, so contemporary European minimalism and spa culture inspired the project. The design team utilized the challenging slope as an opportunity, orienting the most-used spaces on each level towards

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,
