garden house
Addition and renovation to a 1940s home in the Broadview area of Seattle. The 2,700 sf addition completes an outdoor courtyard when added to the existing L shaped home. This courtyard provides new space for covered outdoor dining as well as focusing views into a re-worked garden on this heavily wooded double lot. A new woodshop tucks in at the rear of the addition behind a board formed concrete wall providing privacy and acoustic separation.
lake house
New 4,400 sf home on a tight infill lot in the Windermere neighborhood of Seattle. This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home bridges between an alley at the rear of the property down to the street front, creating a light filled south facing central courtyard. The roof form borrows DNA from the traditional gambrel roofed colonial homes found throughout the neighborhood. Something new for sure, but with a wink to the past.
view alley
Off an alley in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, this 1,250 sf two bedroom two bath backyard DADU sits above an existing garage built in 1910. The topography is such that we are able to take full advantage of expansive southwest views over Elliott Bay towards the Olympic Mountains as the house terraces up the hillside.

New construction 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1000 sf detached accessory dwelling unit designed for an urban infill lot in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle.
