Where they work

• Residential projects primarily in Portland, the Willamette Valley, and the broader Pacific Northwest.

Types of residential projects

The studio takes on work ranging from a single decisive intervention to a complete reinvention of a home, including:

1. Whole-home remodels

• Reworking circulation and interior architecture
• Coordinating kitchens, baths, storage, lighting, and materials as one cohesive home

2. Additions

• Expansions that feel integrated with the original house
• Designed to support how the household lives day to day

3. Kitchens and baths

• Highly detailed rooms where function, ergonomics, durability, fixtures, and atmosphere must resolve together

4. Furniture and art

• New, vintage, custom, and collected pieces
• Arranged for warmth, personality, and ease rather than just filling space

5. Interior architecture

• Space planning and circulation
• Built-ins, millwork, fireplace design, lighting, finishes, and architectural details

6. Project delivery

• Documentation and permitting support where needed
• Contractor and consultant coordination
• Purchasing, installation, and organized project management

Residential design approach

• Highly personal and collaborative.
• Begins with listening to how clients live now, what is not working, and what they want the home to make possible next.
• Aims for homes that feel collected and authentic rather than prescribed to a single style.

Typical residential process

While each project is tailored, residential work often follows these stages:

1. Understand the home

• Existing-condition review
• Conversations about daily routines and priorities
• Alignment on budget, scope, and phasing

2. Reimagine the possibilities

• Concept design and space planning
• Interior architecture, including additions where appropriate
• Kitchen and bathroom design
• Lighting, materials, finishes, and custom details

3. Guide construction

• Permit and construction drawings where required
• Coordination with contractors and consultants
• Ongoing involvement and problem solving as work unfolds

4. Complete the story

• Furniture and custom pieces
• Art and accessories
• Procurement and delivery coordination
• Installation and final styling

Residential clients often describe the result as exceeding what they had imagined while remaining grounded in how they actually live.
