It’s always fun to see my work in print and Revelry Vintners is a project I’m particularly proud of, so being included in this piece in Walla Walla Lifestyles was an honor. The second image in the article is a glamour shot of my old Whitman College roommate and close friend, Jared Burns, owner of Revelry. He looks very handsome, right!

It’s important to me to incorporate the history of the land and places where my clients are building. We wanted to be sure that the simple structure was still reminiscent and recognizable as a typical Century Barn that is common to the region. We didn’t have a term for the design style, and we didn’t need one. But when awarded an AIA Central Washington Design Award, the jury said: “Spartan exterior elements and material choices are well-proportioned and rigorously detailed, with an interior that is warm and inviting.” We created what felt authentic to the project and to the necessary efficiencies of the space. I am a strong believer in the intersection of functionality and aesthetics—Revelry is a great example of that.

The piece also mentions some of my history and why this project was a special one for me. Check it out—I’d love to know what you think, or answer any questions you have!
