Elizabeth Strianese Interiors and Meredith Heuer photography. We opted for a classic inspired bathroom with literally "splashes" of fun for these little girls. The triple laundry sink serves the 3 children nicely with it's deep basin and built in soap holders. Simplicity was key when selecting a class marble hex floor tile and white subway tile for the bulk of the room - but then we had a little fun with the colorful glass mosaic tile in the tub niche. Handblown locally made light fixtures from Dan Spitzer over the sink keep my signature of "local and handmade" alive.

This client’s kitchen was 60 years old and desperately in need of a kitchen remodel. Not only was the kitchen outdated, it wasn’t functional. She likes to cook and the existing kitchen design didn’t make it easy for her. The room was very dark and lacked much-needed counter space. We installed new cabinets, replaced the existing range with a gas cook top, regular over, and a steamer/convection over; giving her the tools she needed to make cooking more enjoyable. We replaced her existing sink with one that included a cutting board and incorporated a strainer basket. We added extra lighting so she could really see what she was doing and set a more appropriate mood for the room. By adding a trellis we were able to separate the kitchen from the family, but still left the space open so she doesn’t feel confined when she’s cooking. We decided on a portable island so she would have extra counter space and storage when she needed it, but it could be removed when she wanted more room in the kitchen.

This single family home in the Greenlake neighborhood of Seattle is a modern home with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The house includes a rainwater harvesting system that supplies the toilets and laundry with water. On-site storm water treatment, native and low maintenance plants reduce the site impact of this project. This project emphasizes the relationship between site and building by creating indoor and outdoor spaces that respond to the surrounding environment and change throughout the seasons.

Photo by Jody Dole This was a fast-track design-build project which began design in July and ended construction before Christmas. The scope included additions and first and second floor renovations. The house is an early 1900’s gambrel style with painted wood shingle siding and mission style detailing. On the first and second floor we removed previously constructed awkward additions and extended the gambrel style roof to make room for a large kitchen on the first floor and a master bathroom and bedroom on the second floor. We also added two new dormers to match the existing dormers to bring light into the master shower and new bedroom. We refinished the wood floors, repainted all of the walls and trim, added new vintage style light fixtures, and created a new half and kid’s bath. We also added new millwork features to continue the existing level of detail and texture within the house. A wrap-around covered porch with a corner trellis was also added, which provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy the back-yard. A wonderful project!

The first building constructed entirely of salvaged felled trees from within Portland city limits, the owners wanted to ensure the home had as light a footprint as possible. Featuring an attached studio apartment [also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)], a 3,000 gallon potable rainwater harvesting system, hydronic heated earthen floors, staggered stud super-insulated shell, and a 6 KW Photo Voltaic (PV) array this LEED-H Platinum certified home topped the green building rankings for its time.

This Pacific Heights home required dramatic structural improvements before the final architectural vision could be fully realized. The project included the transformation of an unfinished Basement into a climate-controlled Wine Room, finished Mechanical Room, unique Man's Den, Au-pair Suite, and Laundry Room with tiled Dog Shower. The Main Floor was entirely altered. Both the front and rear yards were completely landscaped and a new wrap-around hardwood deck augmented the southern wing. Solar panels were added to the roof and the exterior was completely refinished.

This house on the northwest side of Tucson is a real laboratory. It has rammed earth, adobe, and straw bale components all built around a central courtyard. Rainwater is collected from almost 5000 square feet of roof and flows to a 30,000 site-built cistern which provides all water needs (including potable water) for nine months of the year on average. It also has a complete photovoltaic system, gray water system, and solar hot water.
