A 1968 Pacific Northwest chalet, taken to the studs and rebuilt inside and out. Cabin bones, mid-century furniture, and 16-foot glass doors framing the tree line.

2Warm Gray

Warm gray on the siding, white on the railings.

New lighting on the patio and the stairs at night, and string lights over the stone patio off the side. The stairs run down from the deck to that patio, and the front approach climbs a rocky grade to the door.

3Every Seat

The A-frame ceiling is wood plank all the way up, with a triangular window under the peak that frames the tops of the trees. There's a skylight too.

The tufted gray sofa sits against the painted stone wall, with an antler mount above it and the walnut ladder shelf leaning next to it, books and a speaker on the rungs. A leather sling chair and a walnut coffee table under the skylight. The kitchen is white shaker cabinets and subway tile around an exposed wood beam column, and the same pine runs through it.

4Antlers to Sputnik

Mixing cabin and mid-century was the whole idea.

Every choice is plotted between the two. The structural moves land in the middle.

Reclaimed pine, exposed beams, painted stone, and the antlers are the cabin end. The sputnik, the Malm, the walnut dining set, and the leather sling chair are the mid-century end. The 16-foot doors, the A-frame, and the warm gray exterior sit between them: cabin form at mid-century proportions.

5400 Square Feet

Most of it came from reworking the deck line and pulling more of the main level out toward the trees.

A 1968 chalet, down to the studs and back up. Cabin on the outside, mid-century on the inside, and 16 feet of glass in between.

How it starts

A real conversation and a brainstorm, and a direction we both agree on. The work moves quickly from there.

What I take on

The brand, the thing people use, and the back of house that keeps it running. Not just a handoff, and not just a tool.

When it's done

A brand, a piece of software, a room. None of them are ever really done. There's a time to launch, let it sit, see how people use it, and decide what's next. You can't keep working on it in the background forever.

The homepage is three columns now: the wordmark left, the sentence and the question in the middle, the address right. They sit on the nav bar rather than under it, so the bar carries the page's own type instead of a strip of empty rule. Everything came down to two sizes, 32 and 12, inside a 50px frame on all four sides.
