The pièce de résistance of the TBD Advertising Agency in downtown Bend, Oregon was made of 100-year old timbers found in the basement of the original building built on the same site as this business. This Reclaimed Wood Built in Bookcase was inspired by the video game Tetris and measures 9 feet high and 12 feet long. Ron Brown co-created this with Pauly Anderson (Captain Possible).

Retiring to the Poconos was a goal of the Owners, and their move started with a demolition of an existing garage and their existing cabin on their Arrowhead Lake site. The property has a new two-car garage (850 SF) with a second story loft for games, the Owner’s photography projects and plenty of storage. New Cabin construction includes 3 bedrooms in total, including a first floor master suite. Two full bathrooms. Custom master bathroom shower with chevron tile detail and tiled nook. 2,100 square feet of living space. Vaulted great room open to kitchen and dining area. Wrap-around deck. Exposed beams. Rustic woodsy front porch.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards. Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home. The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year. Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling. A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by John Sutton Photography.
