Howard visited Cannon Beach last weekend and took some wonderful new photos of Mac’s Shack. Click the photo to see the rest in our online portfolio.
This project turned out beautifully, and Brian Colman wrote a great article about it, complemented with some stunning photography by William Wright. To read more and see additional images of the project, check it out in our portfolio.
Larry and Lani sent photos to the Washington Trust of the Cedar Creek Grist Mill near Woodland, WA. Lani recommends it as a great place to visit! If you’re in the area during blooming season, also check out the Hilda Klager Lilac Garden in Woodland.
Brian Colman wrote “Northwest Flavor in Seattle,” about where to find Arts& Craft in our city. Larry contributed information to Brian for the article, and Brian mentioned us as one of the contemporary resources available in the city. Thanks Brian! Larry really can tell you as much as you want to know about Arts & Crafts in Seattle, as well as design you an authentic contemporary Arts & Crafts home.
The groundbreaking for a new school, named the Seattle Seminary, took place on October 29, 1891, and the four-story masonry building, designed by Seattle architect John Parkinson, was completed in April of 1893. John Parkinson prepared the plans and specifications, and a construction contract was let to C.G. Slayton and Co. The school’s only building, originally nicknamed the “Red Brick Building” (later Alexander Hall), was only barely completed and without furniture or fittings when Alexander and Adelaide Beers arrived from Virginia to serve as the school’s first faculty. The building served all the school’s functions, with classrooms, a library, administrative offices, a chapel, as well as serving as a dormitory for teachers and students alike.
Alexander Hall was placed on the Washington Heritage Register in 1972.
Read more about Alexander Hall in the Landmark Nomination report we prepared. There will be a public hearing in front of the Landmarks Board on May 15, 2013, to determine whether the building should be nominated as a City of Seattle Landmark.
Phase one of this remodel near Seward Park is starting to come together. The original mid-century modern house had a small master bathroom and lacked a direct connection to the back yard.
We opened up the center of the house to provide views of the backyard from the front of the house. We also enlarged the bathroom to provide space for a full-size shower with a linear drain. A new deck will step down to the rear yard.
Phase two will remodel the kitchen and guest bathroom.
New french doors provide a link to the back yard.
The new deck steps down from the interior to grade.

The entry is on the southeast. The great room windows face south.
Things are really coming together on this project. The home is designed for passive solar heating in the winter, with extra insulation, and careful detailing it is going to be both a beautiful and comfortable place to live.
The overhang in the roof over the great room should completely shade the doors and windows on the south side.
A masonry wood heater in the living room should keep the house warm in the winter.
Construction should be finishing up next month.
Details at the entry, such as stepping up into the home, and sliding doors are inspired by our client’s Japanese heritage.
We happened to drive by one of our old projects last week.
Over twenty years ago, this is what this house looked like:
Before the remodel.
The clients wanted to enjoy a view of the Seattle skyline and the annual Gasworks Park 4th of July fireworks, so they requested a roof deck and a new dormer.
After the Remodel.
The roof deck is accessed by a custom metal spiral staircase.
We love it when our projects still look great and function perfectly 20 years later.
Our design for this residence won the AIA People’s Choice award at FutureShack 2010.

Recent photos show construction is finishing up.
These are the view windows, but you can also see how the driveway slopes down from the street. The home is designed with a wheelchair accessible accessory dwelling unit, and the ability to retrofit an elevator at a later date.
Even though there are still construction materials in the photo, you can get a sense of how great the view is from this West Seattle Residence.
