A 6' soffit provides for a covered entry experience for our clients guests. The ceiling is covered in select grade cypress, as well as, the rain screen. The concrete patio is stained and surrounds the pool on three sides. A splash of color is provided with the yellow front door. The stairwell is shaded by 2x4 cypress rainscreen as well.

This bedroom was designed for a sweet couple who's dream was to live in a beach cottage. After purchasing a fixer-upper, they were ready to make their dream come true. We used light and fresh colors to match their personalities and played with texture to bring in the beach-house-feel. Photo courtesy of Chipper Hatter: www.chipperhatter.com

This 1966 Northwest contemporary design by noted architect Paul Kirk has been extended and reordered to create a 2400 square foot home with comfortable living/dining/kitchen area, open stair, and third bedroom plus children's bath. The power of the original design continues with walls that wrap over to create a roof. Original cedar-clad interior walls and ceiling were brightened with added glass and up to date lighting. photos by Will Austin
