Our team took our best picnic recipes to Elizabeth Park to enjoy the summer concert series together with our families. Architecture was not spoken of, but summer vacation stories and favorite recipes were. Reminder to soak up the summer while you can ☀️

We’re excited to present this ADU project — a prime example of the thoughtful infill housing that Bellingham needs more of.

Our client (a builder) is transforming a single lot in Bellingham’s Columbia neighborhood into a multigenerational family property. The plan pairs a gut-renovated 1906 single-story home with this new 996 S.F. ADU. The intention is to create separate, but connected spaces for grandparents and a young family.

The construction has just begun, and will be excited to share more about this project as it comes into reality.

Had a chance to drop by the construction site of a very unique residence going up in Bellingham. The owner is a dedicated pickleball player…so dedicated that she wants her own indoor court to practice year-round.

The court requires tall ceilings, and the crew was just starting to raise the 23’ tall walls last week.

P.S. check out the organization of the base plates that the site lead implemented — we’re always impressed to see such clean and organized build sites.

180° views of Bellingham Bay and the Coast Mountains…check!

Site visit up in the Chuckanuts last week to kick off the construction of a custom residence we’ve been working hard at for the last year. We are excited to partner with Bellingham Bay Builders for this project — can’t wait to see how they bring those drawings to life!

The days go slow but the weeks go fast on the job site. In just the last eight weeks the Port Townsend Hotel went from slab to a fully framed second floor.

The crews have been treated to spectacular views of the Juan De Fuca Straight and have been keeping time with the Ferries comings and goings across the street.

Interior renderings from an upcoming interior design and remodel project. This remodel will an update this main level from a set of partitioned spaces with wood-heavy finishes to a modern, spacious, and light heart of the home.

One of the things we love most about architecture is that it keeps us paying attention to the changing seasons.

As we develop a design, we’re studying how sunlight moves through a home throughout the year. These sun studies help us understand how the orientation of the house and the placement of each window will shape the experience of a space—not just in the middle of summer, but in every season.

After living in a one-room (with a loft!) log cabin for 15 years, these clients were ready for more space—but they wanted the original cabin to remain at the heart of the home.

The addition was designed to feel connected to the existing structure from the outside, while allowing the new interior spaces to have their own character. Yet still, throughout the home subtle nods to the original cabin help tie the two together.

One of our favorite moments is the connection between old and new. The opening between the two spaces leaves the original log structure exposed, celebrating the craftsmanship of the cabin that has stood here for decades.

The result is a home that feels more spacious, modern, and comfortable, while still reflecting the history and character that makes this property so special.

Some projects look their best when the landscaping catches up. A few growing seasons have settled this ADU into its surroundings, and it’s hard to imagine the two without each other.
