The Aerius - Modern Craftsman in Ridgefield Washington by Cascade West Development Inc.
Upon opening the 8ft tall door and entering the foyer an immediate display of light, color and energy is presented to us in the form of 13ft coffered ceilings, abundant natural lighting and an ornate glass chandelier. Beckoning across the hall an entrance to the Great Room is beset by the Master Suite, the Den, a central stairway to the Upper Level and a passageway to the 4-bay Garage and Guest Bedroom with attached bath. Advancement to the Great Room reveals massive, built-in vertical storage, a vast area for all manner of social interactions and a bountiful showcase of the forest scenery that allows the natural splendor of the outside in. The sleek corner-kitchen is composed with elevated countertops. These additional 4in create the perfect fit for our larger-than-life homeowner and make stooping and drooping a distant memory. The comfortable kitchen creates no spatial divide and easily transitions to the sun-drenched dining nook, complete with overhead coffered-beam ceiling. This trifecta of function, form and flow accommodates all shapes and sizes and allows any number of events to be hosted here. On the rare occasion more room is needed, the sliding glass doors can be opened allowing an out-pour of activity. Almost doubling the square-footage and extending the Great Room into the arboreous locale is sure to guarantee long nights out under the stars.

Thermory decking makes up the entertaining and dining spaces. The decking is surrounding with Corten steel edging and densely planted gardens which host Corten steel planters bowls and custom laser cut panels. A custom powder coated steel pergola covers the barbecue area.

There is nothing as luxurious as adding a bespoke element to a design such as this fabulous, locally sourced makers-made dining table by MTH Woodworks. Paired with benches and host chairs the design let's the crafted table as well as the greenery beyond become one with the space. Avoiding "sets" of furniture always makes for a far more interesting and thought-provoking design.

This was a much needed and long overdue remodel of the lodge for a local chapter of an internationally recognized organization. I was brought in during the demo phase of the build out to work with the building committee on the overall aesthetic which included space planning, finishes, fixtures, furniture and lighting throughout the space. The kitchen area has two cooking stations, two sinks and tons of prep area, as well as an eat-in bar. The wet bar is located near the lounge area and the dining area, with high top cafe style tables, can also be used for overflow at the lounge. The cafe tables can be lined up together to create one long dramatic dining table when needed for events. This all lends itself to the space being quite versatile, which works well for the various events hosted at the lodge.

Cobblestone Techo Bloc Antica and 6X9 Hera stone borders the uniquely designed pool, sculpted to fit with the natural curve of the property.

Philadelphia Row Home Renovation focusing on maximizing storage for a young family of 5. We created a "mudroom" in the front of the row home with a large living room space for family time + hosting. We used kid-friendly furnishings with performance fabrics that are durable and easy to clean. Prioritized eco-friendly selections, utilizing locally sourced + American made pieces.

The second original fireplace is lined with local tile from Henry Mercer's Moravian Tile Works. A deep crimson and dark hardwood floors were chosen for what has now been designated a home library. A handful of windows look out onto the hosting small town's quiet side street.

Share the Table dining event hosted by Ethan Allen. Proceeds benefit selected local charities.
