Treading lightly through design
Rooted in Place
Every project begins with a sense of quiet observation.
We look to the land first, how the wind moves through the trees, how the light drifts across the site, how the seasons reshape the ground. A design grows from these clues, guided by climate, context, and the way you imagine living within the space.
We aim for buildings that belong to their surroundings.
Homes and spaces that feel calm, durable, and gently responsive.
Architecture that holds warmth in winter, shade in summer, and a grounded presence year after year.
Often the first step is a feasibility study or early concept, a way to listen to the site before drawing conclusions. These quiet beginnings help reveal what the project wants to become.
From there, the work unfolds based on the depth of design support you need.
Builder Set
A clear and efficient framework for building.
Plans, elevations, sections, and lighting layouts form the essential structure, paired with coordination from the engineer. Finishes and interior selections are typically handled by the builder and client, which keeps the process simple while holding true to the intention of the design.
Full Service
A more immersive partnership from first sketch to final details.
We refine rooms, shape material palettes, develop interior elevations, and stay closely involved as the project takes form. This approach offers steady guidance and a cohesive vision throughout the entire build.
Most projects live somewhere between these two modes. We adapt to your goals, your timeline, and the rhythm of the site itself.
Services
Preliminary Studies and Feasibility
Early explorations that clarify the possibilities of a site. Simple plans, massing studies, and zoning research come together to reveal a clear and grounded path forward.
We also offer a focused eight hour study that provides a clear snapshot of your zoning limits and building potential for clients who want early clarity before design begins.
New Homes
Homes shaped by forest edges, open skies, shifting light, and the long silhouettes of the Northwest. We design modern, grounded spaces built with durable materials and thoughtful performance in mind. These are places meant to last and to settle comfortably into their surroundings.
Remodels and Additions
Working with an existing home is a conversation with what is already there. We help bring in more daylight, open circulation, reorganize space, and add what is needed without losing the character that remains. Remodeling is one of the most sustainable ways to build and we treat it with care.
Interiors
An expanded layer of design that shapes how a space feels.
Material palettes, lighting, fixtures, and textures chosen with intention. Quiet, warm, and crafted to last.
Multifamily and Missing Middle
Thoughtful infill housing that strengthens neighborhoods and responds to context. Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses, and cottage clusters designed with livability, simplicity, and clarity at their core.
accessory dwelling units
Compact dwellings that fit gently into their sites. Detached, attached, or converted spaces that bring flexibility, value, and understated density to a property.
Commercial
Small commercial and community spaces shaped with the same attention to light, durability, and long term use. Places for work, gathering, and daily life created with clarity and intention.
