This rustic adirondack, craftsman style home needed an exterior tune up. The new color palette reflects the abundance of stone and the treed setting. We settled on a Benjamin Moore gray green with tan trim to settle it into the landscape.

The old stoop had shifted and settled, leaving uneven sloped steps

TimberTech's Reliaboard offers value-conscious homeowners a great alternative to wood decking with its traditional, wood-like appearance and low maintenance.

Luxury and cutting edge technology in one remarkable penthouse. Room to room environmental control, smart security system, switchable glass, TV lifts and curtains are all controlled by your iPhone. The ultimate in grand modern living. With a nod to Bentley and Rolls Royce, sumptuous alcantara is complemented by walnut root and polished steel, and all deliver a unique living experience at every turn. In my serious dedication to superior luxury, all the doors are made of onyx, and finished to exacting standards. There is no settling for great when perfection is possible.

Four years ago, we began the design process of the main house to align with the owner's retirement and move back to the Seattle area from Chicago in 2015. Although the Boathouse and Carriage house are more Pacific Northwest shingle in character, this time around the owners wanted a modern interpretation for the main house. Now in 2016 - 10 years later - they are settled in and their little "compound" has become the family gathering place for their three grown sons, their wives, and the owner's grandchildren. The main house is a contemporary interpretation of Northwest Regionalism in which dramatic waterfront conditions are complemented with aesthetic consideration of massing, materials and the embracing of natural light. The interior spaces are highlighted in marble, steel, walnut, Sapele and limestone finishes.

Settled between the trees of the Pacific Northwest, the sun rests on the Tradesman 48 Shop complete with cedar and Douglas fir. The 36’x 48’ shop with lined soffits and ceilings boasts Douglas fir 2”x6” tongue and groove siding, two standard western red cedar cupolas and Clearspan steel roof trusses. Western red cedar board and batten siding on the gable ends are perfect for the outdoors, adding to the rustic and quaint setting of Washington. A sidewall height of 12’6” encloses 1,728 square feet of unobstructed space for storage of tractors, RV’s, trucks and other needs. In this particular model, access for vehicles is made easy by three, customer supplied roll-up garage doors on the front end, while Barn Pros also offers garage door packages built for ease. Personal entrance to the shop can be made through traditional handmade arch top breezeway doors with windows.

Take in the panoramic views while catching up on the day’s news, enjoying an afternoon snack or settling into quiet repose. A comfortable and easy-to-maintain outdoor living area with Sunbrella® fabric is the perfect antidote to our busy lives.

The historic restoration of this First Period Ipswich, Massachusetts home (c. 1686) was an eighteen-month project that combined exterior and interior architectural work to preserve and revitalize this beautiful home. Structurally, work included restoring the summer beam, straightening the timber frame, and adding a lean-to section. The living space was expanded with the addition of a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring countertops made of reclaimed barn wood. As is always the case with our historic renovations, we took special care to maintain the beauty and integrity of the historic elements while bringing in the comfort and convenience of modern amenities. We were even able to uncover and restore much of the original fabric of the house (the chimney, fireplaces, paneling, trim, doors, hinges, etc.), which had been hidden for years under a renovation dating back to 1746.

Proportion and contrast are the hallmarks of this sweet dining set with American Country roots. Handcrafted in our American workshops, both pedestal table and spindle-and-hoop chairs settle easily into the small space.
