The existing 1970’s kitchen contained once DIY painted cabinets with drop ceilings, poor lighting, inaccessible storage, failing appliances and an outdated floor plan. The client desired a new and improved kitchen designed for a cook which was not only functional but would beautifully integrate into the design style of the home. State of the art appliances, customized storage for all things cooking and entertaining, subtle latte colored cabinets with a contrasting island, and much improved lighting and ventilation came together to create the clients dream kitchen. Designing an Island layout was the key in the transformation from an outdated room to an outstanding reimagined kitchen.

Sometimes the simplest things can be some of the most challenging. We built the base and top of this out of solid white oak. The shape seems simple enough but the way this is built required 48 different sides to line up nicely on the pedestal with floating mortise and tenon joinery to support it. All that on compound angles that are tapered. The top is connected and supported via steel c channels that are recessed into the table top. This has the added benefit of keeping the table top flat on over the large cantilever. A lot of math and planning but the end result was so amazing to see come together. And the space that it sat in was such a wonderful backdrop. We couldn't be happier with it. As with all of our pieces, this custom dining table was hand made in San Diego, CA.

Rear of home was extended to accommodate new kitchen, den, porch, etc. The addition of the concervatory made a year round space for a breakfast area. Brickwork was carefully mathed to the original.

Here you can see how well the tile blended with the wood and how we chose the color of fascia and soffit to math the existing trim on the home

To bring this semi-freestanding curved wood staircase to life at the Forest House, we explored the balance between digital precision and traditional craftsmanship. Working alongside Otis Construction, Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, and Yianni Doulis was a masterclass in collaboration, resulting in a custom architectural feature that feels like it’s floating through the space. To achieve the design intent for this modern luxury staircase, we married 21st-century digital fabrication techniques with age-old traditional hand-carving. Beginning with a full-site 3D scan, we drew each component individually to match the precise locations of the framing and finished materials. We started the fabrication process by using a CNC machine to handle the complex geometry and structural math, ensuring the foundation of the white oak staircase was mathematically perfect. However, the true soul of the project emerged when we turned the machines off. We spent countless hours hand-sculpting every transition to ensure the custom oak tread and handrail didn't just meet the steel structural elements, but flowed into them organically. A special thank you to Tice Industries for machining the custom steel newel posts and minimalist balusters in solid steel. Finished with a custom blackened steel patina, they transform this architectural installation into a piece of fine furniture. In the end, this curved silhouette bridges the gap between modern digital design and old-world craftsmanship. It was an honor to be part of the Pacific Northwest design team that brought this ambitious residential build to life.
