This project is an Electronic House Magazine award winner: http://electronichouse.com/article/small_house_goes_big_with_home_automation We were brought into this project just as the major remodel was underway, allowing us to bring together a feature-rich audio/video and automation system with elegant integration into the spaces. This system provides simple control and automation of the lights, climate, audio/video, security, video surveillance, and door locks. The homeowner can use their iPads or iPhones to control everything in their home, or when away.

The design for this Palo Alto property, developed with Fergus Garber Young Architects, was a direct outgrowth of client needs, sustainability interests, and neighborhood context. Through collaboration with the family, we responded to the wooded character of the neighborhood with bold, lush plantings that reflected their streamlined, modernist tastes. The clients, moreover, sought a garden in which to immerse themselves in nature and to be together as a family, a goal we achieved through strategic placement of plants, furnishings, and focal points such as a dramatic fire pit. The new garden offers generous outdoor spaces for gathering, striking inside/outside views, contrasting textures, and year-round color. In addition to creating a sense of privacy through effectively layered foliage, we designed and installed a corten steel sculptural screening element in the front entry which provides a porous buffer from neighbors and street. This was so successful that, in response to the owners’ request, we detailed a dynamic water element, also of corten, that terminates the views from the living area of the house into the back garden.

Situated on the west slope of Mt. Baker Ridge, this remodel takes a contemporary view on traditional elements to maximize space, lightness and spectacular views of downtown Seattle and Puget Sound. We were approached by Vertical Construction Group to help a client bring their 1906 craftsman into the 21st century. The original home had many redeeming qualities that were unfortunately compromised by an early 2000’s renovation. This left the new homeowners with awkward and unusable spaces. After studying numerous space plans and roofline modifications, we were able to create quality interior and exterior spaces that reflected our client’s needs and design sensibilities. The resulting master suite, living space, roof deck(s) and re-invented kitchen are great examples of a successful collaboration between homeowner and design and build teams.
