Lake Forest Park, WAの建築家

“My husband and I hired Johnston Architects a few years ago to design a 2-bed, 2-bath vacation home and detached garage/office/guesthouse on our land in the Methow Valley of Washington state. We are delighted with what Ray and Mary Johnston and their talented team created for us -- a dwelling that takes full advantage of the expansive views but also efficiently shelters us from the Methow Valley's often brutal elements: frigid winters with copius snowfall, and summers with unrelenting sun. The finished product is a modern shed-roof structure that plays on the valley vernacular with a bit of a tongue-in-cheek twist in its exterior design, and uses natural materials native to Washingon state to drive a simple, yet elegant aesthetic in its interior design. The floor plan exhibits great economy of space: while there is no wasted space, there is plenty of storage and every room feels spacious and airy. Johnston Architects' site planning for our home is yet another thing we have appreciated. From a distance, the house blends in nearly perfectly with the surrounding terrain, with a roofline that echoes the slope of the foothills in the distance. What you get from that is a structure that isn't disruptive to the valley's priceless viewshed. One more thing - the crew at Johnston was a blast to work with! I'd design a dozen more homes with them if I could.”

“Luke was fantastic. He designed the remodel for our 40+ year-old home. The existing structure gave him a number of restrictions to navigate, and Luke gave us some great ideas to give us the home we were looking for. Luke helped us to stay on budget, with customization and fine details in key areas of the home. Highly recommend!”

“We have worked with Patricia Brennan Architects on 4 different projects of varying scale - from a kitchen/bathroom remodel to the transformation of a 4-story derelict warehouse into an AIA award winning building of artist live/work spaces. Each experience has left us with a deep appreciation for the work she does and how she does it. Patricia listens closely - she listens to the physical space of the project and she listens to the desires and needs of her clients. She engages in a collaborative dialogue at the outset of a project and continues the dialogue until the project is complete. She has an amazing sense of color, a wide range of knowledge about all kinds of materials (from lighting to flooring and everything in between) and she provides recommendations for high quality professionals and reliable contractors. She’s attentive to detail, to budget, to practical problem solving and to the aesthetics, flow and functionality of a space. Each project we’ve done with Patricia has exceeded our hopes and left us with living spaces we love to be in. We feel fortunate we were able to work with Patricia for the first time 22 years ago – after that initial experience we knew whenever we embarked upon another project she would be the only person we would call. Her work has added to our lives immeasurably.”

““Mark was asked to submit a proposal to design a house that I was planning to build in Preston, WA. After interviewing several Architects, Mark's portfolio of previous work was most impressive. He had as many detailed drawings for the meticulous woodwork of the interior of the house (what I was looking for) as he did for the structure / exterior of the house. Since that time, Mark has supported several creative designs to include an in-law apartment and the planning of a home I wish to build in Bend, OR. His responsiveness when I have questions and the ideas he offered have been tremendously helpful and I consider him an ultimate professional in his work. I appreciate his high sense of integrity in all that he does.””

“Board and Vellum designed my retail store and did an absolutely amazing job! They were pleasant to work with, super creative, and affordable. I'm already working with them on my next project.”

“Steve is the architect and designer for our current remodeling project. He's been so great and helpful from the beginning on designing our house structure to recommending style of furniture that would match the design. He offers creative and excellent ideas and alternatives based on our budget. He devotes 120% of his thoughts and ideas in accommodating the style of the house that we like and the tight budget we have. It's a big project and we've formed a great team that we have been feeling comfortable to work with each other. There is only 1 month left before the project is finished and we are very happy to see the progress. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to do their house remodeling.”

“We are about to embark on our 2nd renovation project with PRDG. We fully enjoyed the gut renovation of our 70's contemporary into a modern ski house on an uphill acre in NY's Long Island. Our next project will be a 2nd floor addition with roof deck. We wouldn't think of another architecture firm for the undertaking with our pleasant experience with PRDG.”

“Nils Finne has a deep knowledge of design, a modern appreciation for craft and detail, and an uncanny ability to design homes with a fresh spirit and vitality. We've worked with Finne Architects on an extenstion renovation and a new build in a remote location, and in both projects we were impressed with Nils' ability to carefully listen to and translate our needs and values into the homes we love today. He's a consumate professional: on budget, on time, incredibly responsive, and always a pleasure to work with. ”

“Lane Williams took our dated and very tired looking 1960’s one story, pitched roof home with a daylight basement and transformed it into a beautiful modern home with strong horizontal and vertical planes and cantilevered masses. Lane's vision for the house really came together when we decided to spend the money to expand the carport to two cars. We were thinking it might not work, but when he showed us the renderings we both just thought wow – it balanced everything out and got us a look that was spectacular. The finished house got great reactions from the neighbors, and it still thrills us when we overhear the bicyclists as they zip by saying ‘Cool House!’ http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai2before.jpg http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai3.jpg http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai1.jpg”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Amy on several luxury single family homes over the past 2 years. She always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone involved in the process has what they need to make it a success! Her attention to the clients' vision and ability to plan ahead on the front end make my job as a builder and general contractor much easier. It's rewarding to see the end product and how happy her clients are with their new space!”
