About Us

Our projects range from kitchen renovations to new custom homes and cabins, placing an equal emphasis on style, function, health and poetics, woven together with the thread of ecological design, and mindful of long term cost. We are intrigued by multigenerational houses, backyard cottages, tiny houses, co-housing and small multi-family projects. We can bring the Passive House approach to all of these building types. With roots in Seattle and almost 30 years doing exclusively green design we are uniquely qualified to help you create lasting, beautiful deep-green buildings. In 2009 I became one of the first 100 certified Passive House consultants in the United States, and we have pursued that design approach with every appropriate project since. I have over thirty-five years of experience as a design professional, including more than thirty years as principal of my own firm. I grew up in a small town in northeastern Ohio and studied architecture at the University of Toronto. The projects here on Houzz are just a taste. Please visit my website for many more.

Rob was instrumental in the construction of our ideal vacation home. We had some general ideas of how we wanted the place to feel and relate to the wonderful - wanting to feel connected to the outdoors while cozy inside. And we wanted the house to be as green as feasible Through careful listening, creative thinking and practical problem solving, Rob helped us design a great home. Then he worked collaboratively with contractor to make it all come together. He respected our budget, kept things moving along - we developed a friendly and trusting relationship. My best experience ever working with an architect.

I hired Rob Harrison to do a green remodel of my log cabin built in the 1930s in Indianola, including renovating the original kitchen and bathroom. His design creatively and thoughtfully took into account the historic nature of the cabin, while upgrading it so that it's more energy efficient and green. For example, since the one-room (living room/sleeping loft) cabin is heated primarily by a wood stove, we installed heated floors in the kitchen and bathroom to heat the back of the house--and we all love (dogs and cats especially) the results. Now we can maintain heat in the cabin by leaving the floors on low, which keeps the house dryer, too. We also added several skylights to the back of the house, which let in more much-needed light. From the outside, the cabin still looks like it was built in the 1930s, but inside, it's much more functional, comfortable and energy efficient, thanks to Rob and his team. I appreciated working with someone who's knowledgeable of all the new, sustainable products but also appreciates the aesthetics of a traditional design such as a log cabin.
