The clients are professionals, the wife is an interior designer. They had a clear idea of the exact layout and style of the house, but I worked with her to refine many details. Can’t wait to show the “After” shots of the project completed! It will have standing seam metal roofs with board & batt siding. The steeper pitched roof houses the Great Room, with bedrooms surrounding. The house is basically 1900 sq. ft. with 885 sq. ft. of covered porches.

A large covered porch off the rear of the “Wing Shaped” house will be the preferred hang out spot to watch the incoming and out-going planes.

Master Bedroom Addition & Re-do

This is my solution for a couple that wanted to add a study and deck off of their Master Bedroom and create a larger Master Bathroom and a walk-in closet

This is the existing layout- the bathroom is cramped and the closets are right off the hallway.

NEW HOUSE ON ORCAS ISLAND

This design is for a sloping lot facing the water, so the decks step down with a sunken Living Room.

Still working on the model here, as it is a “Progress” model to show the client the idea.

The existing cabin is to the left, and the client wants to save money by retaining the cabin and re-doing the entry, kitchen and dining room with an arbor over the entertaining deck. There is a large rock out-cropping that looks like a giant dome.

This New Master Bathroom was created from extra space not used in the Master Bedroom. We shaved off part of the space opposite the view to create a bigger bathroom and a walk-in closet, The floor in the bathroom is made of large 8" x 48" porcelain tiles that look like Driftwood. The new doors are Fir with a clear coat, matching fir trim. The new sink cabinets match the fir and have molded porcelain tops.

FIREPLACE REMODEL

Even though the original fireplace was surrounded by old growth redwood, it had no mantel and the redwood was faded around each picture that had been there 50 years. We tried to salvage them & re-finish, but they splintered off. SO sadly, the redwood was removed and a new fireplace with bluestone facade was installed.
