This young professional family wanted a cozy gathering place for their family to make memories - playing games, sitting by the fire, reading with the grandparents. They wanted quality upholstery that would withstand their active family and energetic dog.

The first thing we did was to open up the ceilings so we have doubled the space. We designed and decorated during the pandemic so most of the art works and decorations are either from the owners' storage or online shopping. Beauty could be really found at the safety and comfort of your home and office. We ordered hand made the lamps from the porcelain vases and custom made the embroidery fabric for the sheer curtains and dining room upholstered chairs

The living room of this had existing coffered beams. Trim and panelling were installed between these beams throughout the living room. Hundreds of pieces of trim were installed then finished to an very traditional look. The Bow window to the right provides a lot of light to the stately interior.

La parete della tv ha dei vani aperti e chiusi, per far vedere ciò che va fatto vedere e nascondere ciò che va nascosto. Nell'elemento "grigliato" abbiamo nascosto il calorifero, mentre la porta sul lato destro è una scorrevole che nasconde questa porta che dà sulla lavanderia e sul box. Il pavimento è un cotto toscano rettangolare, come l'assito del soffitto; le travi invece sono in castagno, volutamente anticato. La parete del camino, il pavimento e le travi sono i veri protagonisti della zona giorno, di conseguenza tutti gli altri arredi sono molto semplici e lineari

The clients called me on the recommendation from a neighbor of mine who had met them at a conference and learned of their need for an architect. They contacted me and after meeting to discuss their project they invited me to visit their site, not far from White Salmon in Washington State. Initially, the couple discussed building a ‘Weekend’ retreat on their 20± acres of land. Their site was in the foothills of a range of mountains that offered views of both Mt. Adams to the North and Mt. Hood to the South. They wanted to develop a place that was ‘cabin-like’ but with a degree of refinement to it and take advantage of the primary views to the north, south and west. They also wanted to have a strong connection to their immediate outdoors. Before long my clients came to the conclusion that they no longer perceived this as simply a weekend retreat but were now interested in making this their primary residence. With this new focus we concentrated on keeping the refined cabin approach but needed to add some additional functions and square feet to the original program. They wanted to downsize from their current 3,500± SF city residence to a more modest 2,000 – 2,500 SF space. They desired a singular open Living, Dining and Kitchen area but needed to have a separate room for their television and upright piano. They were empty nesters and wanted only two bedrooms and decided that they would have two ‘Master’ bedrooms, one on the lower floor and the other on the upper floor (they planned to build additional ‘Guest’ cabins to accommodate others in the near future). The original scheme for the weekend retreat was only one floor with the second bedroom tucked away on the north side of the house next to the breezeway opposite of the carport. Another consideration that we had to resolve was that the particular location that was deemed the best building site had diametrically opposed advantages and disadvantages. The views and primary solar orientations were also the source of the prevailing winds, out of the Southwest. The resolve was to provide a semi-circular low-profile earth berm on the south/southwest side of the structure to serve as a wind-foil directing the strongest breezes up and over the structure. Because our selected site was in a saddle of land that then sloped off to the south/southwest the combination of the earth berm and the sloping hill would effectively created a ‘nestled’ form allowing the winds rushing up the hillside to shoot over most of the house. This allowed me to keep the favorable orientation to both the views and sun without being completely compromised by the winds.

The project is for two single family dwellings for close friends who wish to live cooperatively rather than in more typical LA isolation. The site slopes up steeply to the west from the street such that the two houses are cut deeply into the hill for basements and garages. The main levels are reached through a shared central exterior stair. Entry is from the common landing overlooking the street. The stair can also be taken directly up into the garden. While to two houses have the same structure and materials, the uniqueness of each families structure and interest is expressed in fundamentally different plan arrangements and different interior finishes such that each house has its own character internally. This is possible because the basic loft like structure frames two story spaces within which are placed bedrooms as mezzanines. Both buildings are relatively closed to the street and open to the garden side where overhanging balconies and canvas shade the glass walls. The skylights that run continuously along the street balance the light through the interior especially in the two story living room and studio spaces.

Divano angolare con un tavolino da caffè, contenitore (per poterci inserire la legna per il camino) Dal divano, essendo angolare, si può godere sia della vista del fuoco del camino che della tv sull'altro lato. Il pavimento è un cotto toscano rettangolare, come l'assito del soffitto; le travi invece sono in castagno, volutamente anticato. La parete del camino, il pavimento e le travi sono i veri protagonisti della zona giorno, di conseguenza tutti gli altri arredi sono molto semplici e lineari
