CITY CONDO KITCHEN
This project is a renovation of an existing kitchen located in Seattle, WA. The overall concept focuses on creating additional storage space in the Client’s kitchen while maximizing accessibility given the Client’s short stature. The solution incorporates undercounter fridge and freezer doors as well as pull-down shelving in the upper cabinets. The design is centered around a stone terrazzo backsplash, with the cabinet colors derived from the stone sample.
PATEROS PASSIVE HOUSE
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.
SEATTLE SIX-FLAT
This project is a conceptual design for what legalizing sixplexes across Seattle could look like. With an emphasis on creating single-floor, family-sized flats, the design emphasizes local materials through the use of wood cladding along with floor-to-ceiling windows to let in ample light regardless of the season.
The balcony is intended to create both a connection to neighbors and the surrounding context in the front of the unit while the master suite is situated in the back for a more private space inside.
Cherry
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.
