RESIDENTIAL

The project is a conceptual design intended to explore what architecture for legalizing sixplexes across Seattle could look like. The building's design takes finish inspiration from the Pacific Northwest while using floor-to-ceiling windows to maximum light and a layout that creates family-sized units through only allowing one unit per floor. The arrangement of the program of each unit emphasizes more public spaces in the front to encourage engagement and interaction with neighborhoods while creating a more private master suite in the back.

The project is the renovation of an existing kitchen located in the client's condominium. The concept focuses on creating additional storage space while increasing accessibility given the client's short stature. Taking inspiration from the new terrazzo backsplash, the resulting compact design introduces a bold punch of color and life into the kitchen while maximizing space through undercounter fridge / freezer drawers and new cabinetry installed with pull-down shelves.

This project is the design of a single-family residence located in Eastern Washington state. Situated on top of a mountain, the home is designed to achieve Passivhaus certification and use over 75% less energy than a traditional home.

Inspired by the rugged landscape, scenic views, and history of fire in the area, the exterior is clad in charred cedar and features two panoramic views looking out to the mountain past and valley below.

The project is currently in Design Development.

 This project is a 50-unit apartment and townhome project located in the Central District of Seattle. The two structures on the site are situated so a courtyard space is created between the two to be used by all residents. This project is an excellent example of combining housing types to create a new living condition between different building types.
