There are many lighting rules which apply to the conceptual plan. Smaller parcels diminish light glare and pollution for the neighbors. Overuse of horizontal fixture types creates a landing strip appearance. The lighting design should have no dark holes. There should be lighting connectivity and composition throughout the design. Equal brightness of focal points surrounding architectural elements needs to be considered. Brightness levels need to be illuminated with connecting lower levels of illumination and stay underneath dark sky limits. The points of view need to be identified. These, and other lighting conceptual concerns, are presented and discussed individually in an effort to establish a master lighting plan for the property. This lighting plan can be implemented in phases do to budget, time constraints, and desires of the homeowner. The landscape lighting master plan brings the landscape plan to the fullest 8 seasons, 4 seasons both day and night.

We worked within the existing 3,700 sq. ft home to create the grand kitchen and living area these homeowners sought after. By removing the wall separating the kitchen from dining room and rearranging the floor-plan, we were able to open the entire space. Budget analysis and project development by: May Construction

Cielo is a mellow type of quartzite that originates in Brazil. The overarching browns of Cielo are off-set by whites, greys, and silvers that form a sky-like visual that is heavenly. The cloudy atmosphere of Cielo looks perfect next to silvers and blacks when installed as calming bathroom vanities and soft, modern kitchen countertops.

Second-floor addition to a simple Mediterranean bungalow on a very low budget. The “pop-up” form, a partial second story addition, was the least expensive way to gain the square footage that the clients wanted. Variations of the original exterior details were created for consistency with the original style. The interior open floor plan makes the most of limited space.

The Ballard Haus is an exciting Passive House design meant to fit onto a more compact urban lot while still providing an open and airy feeling for our clients. We built up to take full advantage of the extra sunlight for solar gain during the winter, and we crafted an open concept floor plan to maximize our client's space and budget. Part of the goal of the Ballard Haus project was to create a design that could be used in a multitude of urban settings as we get ready to expand our reach into prefab Passive House options. In this iteration of the Ballard Haus, yakisugi cedar and smooth hardi siding were chosen to complement and blend into the beautiful Pacific NW.

This bedroom and full bathroom are part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together. The strip of accent tile includes various shades of gray and green glass, which picks up the color of the floor tile -- and it even has some brushed nickel tiles that match the shower fixtures! We wanted to avoid glass doors, which constrict free space and are harder to clean, so instead we found this specialty neo-angle curtain rod.
