The Alderson Residence was designed to capture incredible views of Birch Bay and Olympic Mountains. As a result all living space was located on the second floor and sleeping and service space was located on the main level. The building had to fit a narrow and steep building site located within a critical area along California Creek. The timber framed porch transitions to an interior timber framed open staircase with an open boardwalk that connects the main and upper level. The purpose of creating a boardwalk within the home was to enhance the feeling that you are at the beach. The site specific design and use of interior and exterior finishes seek to pull colors and materials that reflect the character of the Northwest.

Inspiration for a craftsman bathroom remodel in Seattle

Mountain View, CA This busy Silicon Valley family wanted a grown-up reading room, a soothing retreat from hectic schedules and everyday clutter. Our clients' collection of global textiles, inspired the color scheme of varied blues, while comfortable seating and good lighting make it a functional place to get lost in a book. Note: custom framing of an embroidered jacket from China, and making pillows out of appliqued rectangles from Central America, make this room a uniquely personal space.
