BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE.
Designing your new custom home involves a deep understanding of your design objectives, site constraints including the site orientation to sun, views, entry approach, geography, and other special features of the property. We integrate our designs to the site, interior flow, and landscape elements to reflect our holistic approach.
Our job is to be your advocate. Our vigilance begins during the initial creative sessions and lasts through the final touches on Architectural exterior and interior finishes. We are your personal guide as the project moves from an abstraction to a real structure resulting in architecture that surpasses expectations.
SKYFALL REFLECTION
Our clients wanted an interactive house where they could raise their kids with the lake access in mind. They lived in the older home on this property and decided to build new there for there family lifestyle, including boating, water toys, lots of usable decks, and views from all rooms. We designed a wide house to take advantage of the views and mixed materials of stucco, siding, and stone base for this family-friendly and sophisticated home.
NW RETREAT
Responding to the site conditions and views this house takes a commanding stature
onto the property. The project design is wide so each room has a view of the water. The heavy use of natural cedar siding, fir beams and stone create a natural and inviting place to just be at ease with the environment.
EAST SIDE TRADITIONAL
This new house project was for a young couple with two kids. They wanted a traditional style with a sophisticated, upscale interior. The project included a see-through upper cabinet to the large covered outdoor room. The great room concept with painted wood ceilings added character to this traditional-style home.
LAKE HOUSE
This lakefront house was designed for a five-sided lot with view restrictions and
watercourse challenges. The final design responded to all the issues resulting in a low sloping northwest contemporary roofline and a Nantucket style character achieving our clients’ design objectives for this waterfront family home.
MID CENTURY CHIC
This property is an infill lot located on a dense residential street on Mercer Island. The design incorporated a Mid Century Chic character with a Northwest Edgy Vibe and distinctive architectural details.
EUROPEAN FLAIR
The owners wanted a traditional house character with a European flair—the exterior detailing shows off the traditional rooflines and natural shingle siding.
The project highlights are the curved entry stairs with open dining and living spaces. The arched window wall frames the water view from the house entry.
THE HOME OF THE AIRPLANE
This airplane hangar and house design were inspired by the beachfront style and easy in and outflow of the one-story home. Fir trim and details throughout juxtaposed with the dark shingle exterior allow the wood detailing to stand out. The commercial hangar door has another sliding door and roofline attached to it so as to look like a residential facade matching the main house.
SHINGLES STYLE CONSTRUCTION
This remodel project was initiated due to fire damage which gave the owners the opportunity to remodel the house. We re-developed the above garage apartment and opening up interior walls replacing cabinetry and all finishes including window and door systems.
STYLISH BEACH HOUSE
This large scale remodel project re-created the entire house by adding a full 2,400 sq.ft. basement and additions to the north and west of the existing structure. A new pool & spa addition established a new out-door focus of the landscape. Stylish interiors throughout ties together the casual beach house feel with a modern upscale touch.
NW CONTEMPORARY
This full house remodel included the demolition and reconstruction of the garage and connection to the existing house. The interior two story space was created by removing the upper office and reinforced the volume and flow of the main level spaces. The use of wood and steel on the interiors introduced the northwest character.
SANTA BARBARA FLAIR
This was a remodel of an existing traditional house where we introduced a new character to the project. The new stone landscape and entry columns created a new exterior feel. The stone material became a unifying concept for the interior great room and outdoor entertaining spaces. A new raised entertaining pool deck was added to the gently sloping lot.
