Warner Residence #1

Warner residence Located on a site in West Seattle overlooking Puget Sound, this house expanded up and over towards the existing garage. The new owners wanted to transform their house from a typical, non-descript building into a home with more soul which expresses their love for natural materials, deep colors and handcrafted detailing. A complete face lift was given to both the exterior and the interior of this house. Markie Nelson Interior Design was chosen for the interior design work, and we were selected to do the exterior design. The exterior facade utilizes natural stone, cedar shake siding, arched trellised gables and roof dormers. Rich stain colors give this home new depth and a soulful spirit. Completed Before

Jacobson Project

Jacobson Residence Located in the Palouse, near Moscow, Idaho, this 6000 square foot home provides a sense of openness and freedom that complements its environment of rolling wheat fields and expansive views. The owners wanted lots of display space for their art collection, home office and work spaces, guest rooms for visiting family and friends, and an exercise pool. The design of this home was in response to the owners’ appreciation for clean, uncluttered lines as found in Scandinavian designs. The house is organized around a tall, central corridor which serves as an art gallery and provides access to the central living and dining areas. This corridor also connects the two wings of the house, the west wing which contains the home office and bedrooms and the east wing which houses the pool, garage and utility areas. The main corridor walls serve not only as art display surfaces, but also contain large doorways and high clerestory openings which allow south light to flow into the living spaces. Clerestory windows are located on the tall vertical walls allowing light to wash down between the angled roof trusses deep into the interior spaces. View of living room with built in display space. Light from the clerestory windows can be seen streaming into the room. The 60-foot lap pool is decorated with a neon art sculpture. The pool room’s glass wall, doorways and clerestory windows create a moving play of light. The “H” shaped plan allows the home to be well organized into public and private zones. The pool wing is angled outward to broaden the view from the living and dining rooms. Completed Plans

Lake Forest Park Residence

Lake Forest Park Residence The clients wanted a home that feels traditional on the outside in order to fit comfortably into its mature northwest neighborhood. This perspective drawing was developed during the project’s design phase to convey a three dimensional sense as to what this house was going to look like. The simple, rectangular plan features a Great Room. It functions as the main living area. This environmentally sustainable design uses engineered, composite wood materials for interior and exterior wood trim and siding and for the floor and roof framing and sheathing. The kitchen, adjacent to the dining area, is also open to the Great Room, but it thoughtfully conceals the large appliances from view allowing a functional space to artfully coexist with the other living spaces of the Great Room. The main dining area which is part of the light filled Great Room space. Built-in light coves and cabinetry provide abundant space for storage and craft display. Completed
