<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I regard the
mountains as stoic icons reflected by mortality, records of the movements of
the earth and the torrents of the sky. They represent a collision, or maybe, a collaboration
of the elements and forces of life. Though continuously rising or falling, the
mountains stand, silent, weighing on the shifting fragments of the earth, moving
at an incomprehensible rate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">In these works,
I depict geological disruptions, carved moments and parts within the landscape.
Records of denudation captivate me, as these notes present a segmented image of
the whole. Mountaintops stand crisp against a stark white, reaching for an
infinite sky. Descending are scratched lines, which break through the slopes,
while flecks of white dapple eroded surfaces, recalling cooler seasons. These
finished pieces linger on the threshold of completion, for what memory is
complete upon its conception? The image often disintegrates as it nears the
base of the painting, referencing the deposition of mountain and mythos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I approached
these white panels with turbulent, yet restrained mark making. Mixing oil paint
above and across graphite marks, I soften or exaggerate the contours of the
landscape. In some areas, the imagery holds, stable, while across the scene, a
moment of textural play denotes action, erosion or sliding, moving away from
the sky, down to the chaotic base. My paintings depict the tranquility of
nature, while whispering of unpredictably and grandeur far beyond human conception
or control. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

For a residential building in Tehran, the material of choice for <a href="http://admunstudio.com/" target="_blank">Admun Studio</a> is brick which is a typical material used throughout Iran. The design team was brought on after the structure itself was completed and they were left to resolve several issues through the design of the façade. They describe the need to “provide maximum privacy yet fulfilling other features such as moderating light, limiting view from outside, organizing chaotic experience of the terraces and decreasing high-traffic neighborhood noise” that lead them to the artistic design of a modulating textural surface. Using these simple materials in a new way, the surface not only solves several issues at once but creates a unique visual piece in the neighborhood<br />

Repetition is often the key to creating what looks like a new material by way of using<br />
a simple smaller piece multiple times that is then transformed into a larger surface structure. In Japan, <a href="http://kkaa.co.jp/" target="_blank">Kengo Kuma</a> <a href="http://kkaa.co.jp/" target="_blank">& Associates</a> did just that with a Starbucks location. The design sought to marry a new, modern space with the surrounding design aesthetic of traditional Japanese structures by using “a unique system of weaving thin woods diagonally.” The result is not only unique but creates kind of a vortex that feels as though it wants to suck the passerby into the café and possesses that dynamic energy that goes beyond just creating visual cues or leading lines intended to draw people inside.<br />

In Spain, the simple material of wooden sticks is used as well but takes on an entirely different<br />
character designed by <a href="https://ideoarquitectura.com/" target="_blank">Ideo Arquitectura</a>. This time, the surface takes on a softer feel as the ceiling of a bakery that is in a long narrow space lined with old, exposed brick that would otherwise feel like a dark cave. Instead, the sculptural ceiling guides visitors in and creates an almost glittering surface and reinforces the overall brand of the shop while creating visual interested that works with the highly textural existing walls without clashing or completely dominating them.<br />

Each September, all corners of the globe participate in an event
called <a href="http://parkingday.org/" target="_blank">Park(ing) Day</a>, a worldwide experiment in reclaiming public space. <a href="http://rebargroup.org/" target="_blank">Rebar</a> in San Francisco launched
the event as a statement on the use of public space. Their one pop-up park was on
display for a mere two hours – all the time the meter would allow. Unknown to
them at the time was just how much people would embrace the concept, and what
first began as an intervention has since exploded into a world-wide event, with
some cities even allowing for multi-day installations. The movement has even
spurred the implementation of permanent parks designed and maintained by
private entities in the public domain for public use. There projects have many
names: parklet, streetseat, micro park, people spots, to name a few. And here
in Seattle, a new typology has recently emerged called a Streatery. <span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">This new idea marries an outdoor eating
space with one of these parking space parks. Picture a fixed-location food
truck with seating or an extension of a nearby established restaurant that
resides where there was once a parked car. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">As outdoor
space in our cities becomes more and more scarce and the desire to make our
streetscape more interactive — outdoor spaces where people can find respite
from the concrete jungles as well as enhance public safety with more eyes on
the street — people are exploring every possible angle to bring additional
public space to the urban realm. What Park(ing) Day started was a revolution
for people to look at the use of our public space more critically and consider
the needs of the surrounding community. Today, these parks, both permanent and
temporary, have taken on a wide range of looks and usage, well beyond the
simple days of a park being little more than some grass, a tree and a bench.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">What
follows are a few inspiring examples of parks in the public space. </span>First up is a micro-park project in London by <a href="http://www.wmbstudio.co.uk/" target="_blank">WMB Studios</a> called Parked Bench that converted two
parking stalls into a bright, sculptural seating element from simple and inexpensive off-the=shelf materials that catches the eye.
Both artful and functional, this park space offers comfortable seating for
individuals, houses an air quality monitor and acts as a buffer between the
pedestrian zone and the busy street. </div>

In San Francisco, the birthplace of this movement, <a href="http://www.intersticearchitects.com/" target="_blank">Interstice Architects</a> designed the Sunset Parklet which looks like an undulating deck with pieces that rise up out of the ground for seating, both for small groups and community gatherings along with tables, spaces for native planting and an area that flattens out to provide bike parking. Inspired by the striations created through water and land, this parklet brings a natural feeling environment to an urban setting that provides much needed space for people.</div>

Our clients have lived on a 1,500 square foot houseboat for years. The houseboat is where they raised their children but they are now ready for an upgrade. Designing a houseboat for them presented some unique challenges since new houseboats aren't allowed. Therefore, this was designed to take the place of the existing houseboat where it matches the exact size, footprint, and height of the pre-existing home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Space is utilized with lots of built ins to fit a living space, office, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms comfortably. Niches between the float framing act as storage for kayaks and other items. Because construction was done on a float, builders were not able to use a level and precise fabrication was done off site and installed on the boat as a unit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plenty of skylights and windows take advantage of the surrounding natural light and views. Cedar screens were installed at the perimeter of the float to create private outdoor spaces while radiant heated flooring keeps the inside cozy. The houseboat is being built in Ballard and will then be brought to it's final home of Lake Union this month. The previous houseboat has been donated and will sit on land in its next life. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One
of the most gratifying aspects of our job is to customize spaces for our
clients, the most intimate being those in the home. The first thing we ask a client to do when we
set out to create a home for them is to fill out a questionnaire. It is
designed to structure the get to know you process, and our goal in writing it
is to understand how our clients live in the spaces they have, and more
importantly, how they </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">want</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to live in
the spaces we have been hired to create. We encourage our clients to take some
time with it, because it goes beyond the quantitative questions such as number
of bedrooms, or desired square footage frequently used to define scope, and
asks more qualitative questions to really understand how those spaces or that
square footage will be used (who cooks? Where do you eat? how frequently to do
you host overnight guests?) Because while two clients might each respond that
they need three bedrooms, or a large kitchen – the way they envision using those
spaces, and therefore the way we approach their design, is unique to them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When
we finish the questionnaire phase we have a list of spaces that will be
important in the home, as well as a sense of the way those spaces relate to
each other for our client. The list is made up of basics: cooking space, living
space, bathing space and sleeping space, as well as “extras” such as outdoor
space, formal dining space, work space, storage space, play space, media space
etc. And most of the time these functions fit into rooms with familiar names
and descriptions – cooking space is in the kitchen, sleeping space is divided
in to a number of bedrooms, etc. But the compartmentalization of home life into
these rooms is actually very recent, and specific to our time and place. Each
of these rooms has a rich and ever evolving history –while we have always needed
a place to sleep, or eat, the way that we do those things is ever changing and
therefore the spaces dedicated to them change as well. Bill Brysons “At Home” and Lucy Worsley’s “If
Walls Could Talk” are a great introduction to the history of life in rooms.
Many room names are quite old but have completely different functions than the
space originally defined by that name, such as the kitchen or hall- others have
virtually disappeared such as the parlor, or scullery- and some, like a media
room or master bathroom are very new. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The original
room was the “<b>hall</b>” which we now only
include where necessary for circulation, and often don’t even consider as a
room of its own right. But until as recently as the 15<sup>th</sup> century the
hall was the most important, (and at first, the only!) room in the house. The
word “hall” is 1600 years old, when it referred to a large barn like structure
that functioned as kitchen, bedroom, dressing room, living room, (and barn!) in
one- the original open floor plan. The room
was therefore designed to afford complete flexibility- the only fixed feature
would have been a centrally located hearth for cooking, light, and warmth. Furniture
would have been kept to a minimum, with shared bedding laid out only at night
and put away during the day (a typical bed size for a family might have been
9’x7’). An early dining table would have actually been a board, hung on the
wall when not in use (also the origin of the term “room and board”). The
concept of privacy in the early home was therefore nonexistent- rather, all
life was carried out communally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With
time other rooms were added, such as the chapel, kitchen and sleeping chambers.
The addition of new rooms was made possible by the invention of the chimney in
the 1300s which funneled smoke out of the house, for the first time allowing
the space above head height to be breathable and therefore occupiable. The
first room to move upstairs was the <b>bedroom</b>,
in the form of the ”great chamber” which was the first private space for the
family, separate from guests or servants. The first bedrooms would have been
shared by the nuclear family, often in one bed. They were used not just for
sleeping but also for entertaining or eating in a more intimate setting. The
bedroom didn’t become a dedicated room just for sleeping until the 1600s. Even
then, it wasn’t yet considered a private space, evidenced by the fact that most
bedrooms were accessed from each other rather than a corridor. The desire for privacy
from other household members wasn’t adopted until later- As literacy rates
increased, people began to enjoy and value time spent alone. Interestingly, the
first space designed for privacy was not the bedroom or bathroom, but the <b>closet</b>. The original use of the word
“closet” referred to a small room off of the bed chamber more similar to a
study than a storage space, where the occupant might pray or meditate and where
the owner might store small collectibles or art- also one of the first spaces
to feature an interior lock. And while todays closets are generally
utilitarian, the original “closets” would have had some of the most
personalized decor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
chimney was equally impactful in creating a separate <b>kitchen</b> – and whereas early censuses actually counted the number of
hearths rather than people or houses, once the hearth was no longer required to
be in the center of the home as a heat source it was quickly moved to a less
prominent part of the home and many times actually stood as a structure
separate from the home. Cooking was done over a fire, while baking was
typically done outside the home in a communal oven. The kitchen stayed a hidden
and undecorated space in middle and upper class homes until after the early 20<sup>th</sup>
century when household sizes decreased, and therefore cooking was done by the
“mistress of the house” for her own family rather than by employed staff. Different
from today’s multifunction and often quite expensively finished kitchens, a
kitchen in a 1920s home would have been for cooking only- dining, dish storage,
entertaining, would have been in separate rooms. And a mid nineteenth century
kitchen would not have even had a sink – the cleaning and cooking functions
were considered separate, and the cleaning would have been done in a separate
room called the scullery. </span><span style="font-family: Swis721 Cn BT, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Baths</b> date back to the Roman
Empire, but in a very different form than we bathe today. Almost more important
than their hygienic function, Roman baths were opportunities for socializing,
carried out outside the home, and very much in public. With the rise of
Christianity people adopted a more modest approach to bathing, but the labor
involved in carrying water, let alone heating it, for a private bath was so
great that most people actually bathed very infrequently. The bathroom as a
dedicated and private space within the home is only as old as plumbing –
previously bathing would have taken place using portable pitchers and basins
carried into the bedroom. The “en suite” bathroom actually began in hotels, the
first being Cape May, New Jersey’s Mount Vernon Hotel in 1853. It was slower to
catch on in private homes because they frequently lacked the pressure to bring
the water upstairs (London’s first pipes were actually made of wood, later
replaced with iron). The first private bathrooms were utilitarian, more akin to
mechanical rooms than today’s often spa-like master bathrooms, and had to be tucked
into existing spaces wherever they could fit. As a result the sizes of
bathrooms, and their fixtures, were far from standard (Bryson cites a bathtub
so big a stepladder was needed to get into it, and a shower large enough for a
horse). Porcelain enamel tubs were the first to be considered attractive –
prior versions might have been made of zinc, copper or cast iron. By 1940
fixtures had become more or less standardized, and affordable - an entire bath
suite (sink bath and toilet) could be purchased for $70.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">While
all rooms are really living rooms, “<b>living
rooms</b>” in the sense of the word today were the creation of leisure time,
and in America the term was only coined around the mid-19<sup>th</sup> century.
Predecessors to the living room, such as the parlor date all the way back to
1225 where it was used to describe a room where monks could go to talk (derived
from the French word “parler”) but were only seen in homes for the wealthy. A
new urban middle class emerging in the 17<sup>th</sup> century was the first
time that anyone but the wealthy had time for leisure, and need of an
impressive space to host guests. Dedicated <b>dining
rooms</b> only came about in the mid-18<sup>th</sup> century as a result of the
widespread adoption of upholstered furniture, as a way of preventing stains
from eating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As
technology makes domestic life easier, and careers and school tend to keep
people away from home during the day, homes are increasingly our centers for privacy,
leisure, and relaxation. Average household
size in the west has gone from 5.8 members in 1790 to 2.6 in America today,
making it possible and desirable to create more private spaces for individual
retreat within the home, as well as social spaces geared more toward relaxation
and<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> entertaining. But of course the floor plan will
continue to evolve, and the popularity of the tiny house movement, an
appreciation for minimalism and open plans, and renewed interest in
sustainability suggest that maybe we still have something to learn from the
original room, the “hall”.</span><span style="font-family: Swis721 Cn BT, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Esteemed judges deemed our project "Bramling Cross" the winner of the 17th annual Northwest Design Awards Hospitality category at their gala last night. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the historic neighborhood of Ballard, evidence of the
old fishing town still shows between the new housing,
shopping, and restaurants like <a href="http://www.atelierdrome.com/new-page-84/" target="_blank">Bramling Cross</a>. With a
local chef as the client, the desire was to create the
perfect gastropub to celebrate his work alongside an
extensive selection of local beer. This long and narrow
space came with a number of challenges, including a
very unique ceiling structure that spans between the
walls of the two neighboring buildings. While adding new
skylights to brighten the space, new structural posts were
added along both masonry walls to create a rhythm for a
series of two and four seat booths punctuated by display
units and brass light fixtures. The generous bar and
service counter are all Claro Walnut, the highlight of the
space, which ties into the warmth of the brick. With a
combination of traditional and modern details against the
rough texture of the masonry walls and exposed structure
above, Bramling Cross is designed to embrace the rich
character of the neighborhood. </span></span></div>

Owners of the Wallingford home are looking to make their current residence more usable according to their daily needs. They are attracted to wallpaper and statement pieces in what would otherwise be a very simple, traditional room. The rooms will be used as an informal private retreat with smart storage solutions to keep their space organized and functional. Happy Mood Board Monday!

Inspired by the maritime background of Seattle, owner of the soon to be Navy Strength wanted to convert a 2,422 square foot retail space into a Tiki bar. We were more than happy to help with the process. This space is located right next to No Anchor restaurant in the neighborhood of Belltown. With just a few more finishing touches to be made, Navy Strength should be open in no time!<br />

At Atelier Drome, we love a great public space. Today, we’re
sharing one of our designer's favorite public spaces with you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A newly built Market Hall in the town center has become an exceptional cornerstone of public life for the city of Ghent, Belgium. In the
1300s, Ghent was a bustling port city and one of the largest hubs in Europe.
Today the city is still marked by incredible architecture of the late Middle
Ages. In response to a 2006 design competition, architects Robbrecht &
Daem and Marie-Jos<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">é</span> Van Hee came up with a design to help
reinvigorate the town center and pay homage to its long history. Amidst the
Gothic architecture of St. Nicholas’ Church and the Belfry, the Market Hall of
Ghent gives compliment to the historic towers and local vernacular while
holding true to its own place in time. Physically, the structure is no more
than a canopy, yet it’s existence fills the void between the past and future,
and acts as both a backdrop and center point for a beloved public space. The Market Hall’s delicate glass shingles are noteworthy, which reflect the sky
and bring a certainly lightness to an otherwise monumental structure.

<span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #333333; font-size: 13.5px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bellevue HealthCare, a locally owned and operated medical supplier, has been in business in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade. So when they approached us to design a new headquarters for them in the heart of Redmond, we were thrilled! Their new home is located in a 13,360sf office building. Adding new interior partitions, we were able to create multiple open work areas, coupled with playful independent office pods. Additionally, a generously appointed kitchen and employee lounge were added, as well as updates to the conference room and reception area. Working in tandem with the builder, DLH, many of the existing elements were re-purposed and given new life. All new finishes were selected and the space is now sporting an edgy, raw aesthetic. This once cavernous and dull office space is now an upbeat and exciting place to work.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590486694993834440.post-51279033343416280462017-01-20T10:39:00.001-08:002017-01-20T10:39:29.082-08:00lighting illuminated: 5 key considerations<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Aesthetically, lighting fixtures can be like
jewelry for an interior, adding a bit of sparkle and just the right finishing
touch to a space. Functionally, there is a lot more to selecting a fixture than
just its dashing good looks. The right (or wrong) lighting selection will make
or break a design, regardless of how well the rest of the space has been
crafted. Below are five key concepts to understand when selecting the right
fixture.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The UL, or Underwriters Laboratories, is an
independent US company that tests and verifies consumer products to ensure
their safety for the public. It is important to select a fixture that has been
tested and approved by the UL, especially if it is going in a bathr<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>oom it will need to be UL listed for use in damp locations.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lamping refers to the type of bulb (or lamp)
used in a fixture. Different types of bulbs have different light outputs,
require different amounts of electricity, and have varying lifespans. For example,
LED lights have a much longer lifespan (as much as 10-15 years which is great
for fixtures in locations that are difficult to service) and they are also a
great option for saving on energy costs. Some fixtures can accommodate
different types of bulbs, but others cannot. Be sure to check the
specifications to see whether the fixture uses a bulb that is readily available
in your local store, or whether it is something you will need to special order,
as this will impact the ease of maintenance over time.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>Lumens</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lumens are the measurement of light output from
the lamp, or bulb, as mentioned above. We are accustomed to understanding light
output in relation to the watts of an incandescent bulb, but with so many other
options (LED, halogen, fluorescent) a little math is needed to determine light
output: The total output (lumens) you will get from a fixture is equal to the
wattage of the bulb, times the lumens per watt for the bulb type. Therefore, a
60w incandescent that produces about 15 lumens per watt will give off only 900
lumens, whereas a 60w LED that produces 30 lumens per watt will give off 1800
lumens. (Hence the energy savings of switching to LED lights.)</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>Color Temperature</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Color Temperature refers to how visually “warm”
the light output appears. It is measured on the Kelvin scale of 1,000K
(warmest) up to 10,000K (coolest). This influences the “mood” you want to set.
Psychologically, a room filled with “warm” light (2,000K-3,000K) gives a sense
of cozy intimacy and is desirable in restaurants or living rooms. A “cool”
white light (3,000K-4,500K) tends to make a space feel vibrant and bright,
which works well in offices or bathrooms. Daylight falls around 4,600K-6,500K,
which feels energizing and crisp and is great for task lighting.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, the CRI is the Color Rendering Index,
measured on a scale of 0-100. Different light bulbs (and hence the fixtures
that require them) will vary when it comes to how accurately colors appear
under the light. This is separate from Color Temperature, and gets very
scientific very fast. To simplify the concept, what is important to note when
selecting lighting for spaces where color accuracy is crucial (like a design
studio, salon, or your dressing area at home) is that the higher the CRI
number, the more accurately you will see color. Daylight has a CRI of about 75
and typically in a living space you will want a CRI of 70 or higher.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and we haven’t even touched issues like beam spread or control systems. For
large projects or public buildings where lighting plays a critical role it is
often desirable to engage a lighting consultant. However, understanding these
five key concepts is a great starting point for discussing the basics with your
architect or designer, or shopping for fixtures on your own.</span></div>

The project is moving forward and we are advancing into the construction phase! The 1,120 square foot ground floor space is being revamped into a deli.When the space is complete the restaurant will include banquette seating, booths, and a sandwich bar. Hitchcock will feel like a classic butcher shop with a modern flair. Be sure to stay tuned for more construction updates!<br />

Generally, the home will have an informal look but with a baby grand piano and gas fireplace in the living room area, it will have a welcoming and formal touch where needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590486694993834440.post-89006334693053369692017-01-11T09:29:00.000-08:002017-01-12T14:58:05.453-08:00January's Featured Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: left;">The clients and homeowners of the residence near Seward Park love their existing home, but do not love the way it looks. This month, construction begins to complete the exterior reclad. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Currently, as you can see in the below image, the home is mostly a red box shape with little character. The owners hope to explore a new exterior design that highlights a contemporary aesthetic. And we hope to bring their home from glum to glam with an exterior makeover. With the proposed new material palette, the home will have a much better curb appeal complete with a custom entry awning. This will be a total transformation when the project is finished and we cannot wait to share the process with you.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #333333; font-size: 14.6667px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">The early stages of design development for Bar Harbor, started with a materials mood board. The design for Bar Harbor was inspired by the overall concept of transporting the Atlantic Northeast to the Pacific Northwest. As a result, the design takes inspiration from New England coastal eateries, using natural wood, hand painted elements and nautical details to recall the characteristics of a Maine lobster shack experience reinterpreted for a contemporary northwest context.

Cle Elum Lake, is taking place near Ronald, WA. The current design of the roof results in as
much as 15 feet of snow and ice cascading onto the clients' deck - this is the main
reason for the project, as this problematic roof design resulted in half of the
original metal roofing peeling off. The project proposes a revised roof design
that will allow snow to slide off to an out-of-the-way location and provide
covered outdoor areas. It also involves a lower-level addition of a wine
storage area for 750-1000 bottles and a tasting area underneath a new deck
and adjacent to new stone or concrete patios.<br />

Construction is underway for a new construction and residential design project in Bellevue. The bright and traditional concept for this home will bring it to life. Darker finished on the lower floors will transition to light finishes on the upper floor and while the main level will have a formal look to it, the upper floor will have a casual feel.

Happy Mood Board Monday! This week we are featuring our Carriage House project. A full second story addition and a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) are being added the the Queen Anne residence. Traditional, yet, dramatic stairs and windows will be used on the space with an eyebrow dormer roof design. The curved roof will add an aesthetically pleasing, soft detail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590486694993834440.post-23822639393457391152016-11-23T16:35:00.000-08:002016-11-23T16:47:39.250-08:00mitigating your rainwater on site<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Seattle is leading the charge when it comes to handling a lot of issues, but especially when it comes to how we manage and mitigate our rainwater. With increased construction in the area (and therefore increased impervious surfaces), the city is grappling with how best to manage these effects on our aging infrastructure. Currently the city manages 100 million gallons of polluted runoff each year through on-site stormwater management practices, but their goal is to increase that amount to 700 million gallons by 2025.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are a lot of ways we can help reduce runoff: </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Plant trees (Seattle LOVES trees)</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Improve your soil with compost/mulch</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Collect water in a cistern and reuse it for irrigation</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Reduce paved areas</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Use alternative paving options (think porous)</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Work with an existing building to try to minimize your site disruption (we can help with that!) </span></span></li>
</ul>

Perhaps the easiest, most visually attractive, and homeowner friendly option available to us is by implementing a rain garden on your site. A raingarden is a shallow depression that can hold and soak up runoff from roofs or driveways. They are typically composed of compost amended soils and a mix of plants suited to the location in your yard. You can dress them up with river rocks or more sculptural landscape boulders as accents.<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So what does this rain garden do and why is it important? It performs several key functions. 1) It collects water from roofs and paved surfaces on site during periods of rainfall; 2) It slows down the infiltration of water into the ground which in turn reduces the amount of water that gets directed to city storm systems; 3) It helps filter the water and reduce contamination that enters our storm system and ultimately our public waters; 4) It makes you feel good about doing your part to keep Puget Sound clean and our wildlife healthy!<br />
