Norwegian Rose
This story starts with a deep freeze and a burst pipe. Fortunately, damage was minimal and a minor disaster led to a major improvement. This bathroom didn’t have room for any layout changes, so we improved the storage and put in a really comfortable tub. Our favorite feature is the Norwegian Rose counter. Along with…

Overlooking Hood River, this house is a hub for active guests. The unfinished basement was already being used as a hangout/storage area, but too many structural posts made it difficult to improve. The solution was steel. Located on a steep hillside, access was difficult. Instead of renting an expensive crane and closing the street below,…

Many of our projects revolve around our clients’ evolving phases of life. We’re often helping plan for a future with children or, in the case of the Royal House, grandchildren! Our clients have a great house in a great location, backed up against a beautiful natural area. Not the kind of place that’s easily replicated. …

So, we embarked on a multi year design project with our clients, an artist and a landscape designer. He has the eye for detail, she…
