Location: Walla Walla, WA

Completed: Summer 2021

The single level modern prairie rambler is situated several miles south of downtown Walla Walla on 11 acres of an existing alfalfa field. The orientation on a direct north-south axis allows sweeping views of the Blue Mountains to the east from every bedroom and primary living space of the home. The vaulted hip roof great room has clear spans of 32’ with an east facing wall that opens up to an entertainment patio and pool for gracious indoor/outdoor entertaining. The great room creates privacy separation with a large master suite to the north and guest bedrooms and auxiliary spaces to the south. A detached guest house/casita is connected by a covered breeze-way to the south to allow for eventual generational living conditions as the client ages and their grown children take occupancy of the main house. Low slope hipped rooflines sit the house low to the land and help to frame wide vistas, melding with the existing context of the rolling fields and open landscape. The exterior material palette is composed of light tones of stucco, local natural stone sourced from the region, highlights of dark aluminum panel, exposed steel and clear cedar soffits throughout. The interior palette is composed of clear cedar ceilings in the great room and ceiling coves, white oak flooring with stark contrast dark aluminum window frames to create a contemporary yet warm and inviting home to be enjoyed for the family for years to come in the Walla Walla Valley.

Location: Walla Walla, WA

Completion: April 2018

The winery is situated on 20 acres of farmland on the south edge of Walla Walla, framed by vineyards, with a breathtaking view of the Blue Mountains to the east. The silhouette of the century barn, common to the region, was an important compositional element for the owner, whose roots reach back to ranching in Eastern Oregon. With barrel storage and production pushed to the rear of the facility, the tasting room and it’s adjoining courtyard create a welcoming and structured front, playing off the symmetrical nature of the building.

The structured nature of the approach pulls the visitor into the tasting room on center axis where a 25’ tall steel panel punctures the lower volume of the space and climbs the back bar wall through an opening in the ceiling. An all glass wine storage display case highlights the south end of the space while an upper floor access stair winds it’s way around the back side of this feature.

Contemporary and timeless materials consisting of quartersawn oak panels, steel and profiled aluminum make up the exterior palette. The tasting room is similarly clad in quartersawn oak ceiling panels, steel accents, and a polished, dark-stained concrete floor. The simple and authentic materials give way to showcase the product and complement the branding.

Eden, Utah

In Progress

The Utah House is single family residence for a young couple with four school-aged children and located in the north foothills of the town of Eden with sweeping south facing views of the valley and the mountains beyond. The property is located on a moderately sloped site that drops approximately 50' from the drive entry to the southwest corner which called for a massing that would cascade down the slope to sit low into the site. The east wing of the massing sits on grade while the west wing and great room massing daylights to the south and west with a gracious walk out patio and pool to take advantage of the sun and views.

The organization of the house centers around the vaulted great room space and divides the private bedroom areas from the more public dining and kitchen area. The natural stone clad great room is imagined as a more rough and rustic expression of the tones and colors of the Utah landscape while two modern wings flank to the east and west creating an entry courtyard and drive plaza.

The flanking wings of the house are separated by glassy connectors that help to distinguish the three discreet volumes from one another and let the occupants transition from space to space with moments of framed views of the valley and mountains.

Location: Flat Lake, Wasilla, Alaska

Expected Completion: Fall 2021

The family lake cabin is situated on the south end of Flat Lake just east of the town of Wasilla and about an hour drive north from Anchorage. The client is a young family with small children and desired a simple cabin with ample entertaining space for large gatherings of family and friends with the ability to have their own respite within the same envelope. A large volume of living space, open kitchen, sleeping loft and lake front deck space was created as the main form of the structure with an offset wing for the more private bedroom area on the main level.

The expressive nature of the steep rooflines is born out of the necessity to shed heavy snowfalls in the winter months while allowing for a contemporary take on the typical Alaska lake cabin.

Exposed timber roof framing in the main structure of the cabin adds warmth to the simple and modern interior while the exterior palette of dark stained vertical channel siding cedar is set off against the clear cedar soffits and entry portal.
