The Port Ludlow Residence is a compact, 2400 SF modern house located on a wooded waterfront property at the north end of the Hood Canal, a long, fjord-like arm of western Puget Sound. The house creates a simple glazed living space that opens up to become a front porch to the beautiful Hood Canal. The east-facing house is sited along a high bank, with a wonderful view of the water. The main living volume is completely glazed, with 12-ft. high glass walls facing the view and large, 8-ft.x8-ft. sliding glass doors that open to a slightly raised wood deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. During the warm summer months, the living area feels like a large, open porch. Anchoring the north end of the living space is a two-story building volume containing several bedrooms and separate his/her office spaces. The interior finishes are simple and elegant, with IPE wood flooring, zebrawood cabinet doors with mahogany end panels, quartz and limestone countertops, and Douglas Fir trim and doors. Exterior materials are completely maintenance-free: metal siding and aluminum windows and doors. The metal siding has an alternating pattern using two different siding profiles. The house has a number of sustainable or “green” building features, including 2x8 construction (40% greater insulation value); generous glass areas to provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs for sun and rain protection; metal siding (recycled steel) for maximum durability, and a heat pump mechanical system for maximum energy efficiency. Sustainable interior finish materials include wood cabinets, linoleum floors, low-VOC paints, and natural wool carpet.

Inspiration for a timeless closet remodel in San Francisco

Winston Salem Loft

Roux MacNeill Studio

Our client tasked us with creating a versatile workspace for their family, including a daughter in college. Space was at a premium in their downtown loft, so we needed to create an efficient space that could be changed in the future to fulfill other needs. Our solution was a custom metal desk on casters, topped with concrete quartz. The office has little natural light, so white lacquered cabinets and metallic wallpaper were used to add life to the space.

This home office serves a dual purpose: A library housing everything from books to awards, and bedroom, perfect for those late night sessions. We teamed up with Closets by Design and designed a custom shelving unit and desk for our client's administrational tasks. The unit also features a hidden Murphy bed with a custom headboard tailored by Evelin's Creations wrapped in a blue chenille channel tufted upholstery for the ultimate sense of sophistication. Final pieces of furniture are currently being added to the space to bring pops of color in.

An upstairs bedroom currently serves as the administrative office for At Home Modern. Light furnishings and the vintage E.A. Evans painting give the room a decidedly feminine feel without going over the top. The tomato-red file cabinet, one of the Fishers' few "new" purchases, ties the room together with a punch of color and minimal form.
