Gilbert's Path Exterior

The Gilbert’s Path project is a restoration and expansion of an original Andrew Geller beach house from 1968, named The Green House. This project required a complete restoration and expansion of the interior and exterior footprint with the goal of retaining the form and character of Geller’s uninhibited, unique design while modernizing key aspects through new design details, material and complementary geometry to the expanded roofline.

Bar Beau

Bar Beau is a restaurant owned by Claire Chan of The Elk. Our design draws upon the Pacific Northwest’s wild coastline. We focused on creating a space with atmosphere that was fluid like the coast: calming to be in, easy to move within. The sharp edges of the marble and concrete bar offset the smooth plaster curves of the wall and ceiling. The threshold between daily cafe and nightly bar was designed to create a moment of transition and also works as an enveloping entrance hiding in plain sight.

Vestry Street

The Vestry Street residence is a 3,000 square foot duplex originally home to a garment factory. The project’s primary goal was to provide the best quality of living space possible for a young family of four by creating an atmosphere that was calming, grounding, extravagant but simple.  Our clients were committed to rebuilding the space to its greatest potential. This came in the form of creating light and luxury.
The light was created by a transfusion of natural light from above – skylights were added to every bedroom on both floors, providing simple shafts of light within the space. A transom was built into the master bathroom to bring in natural light from the living room and kitchen area. The hallway on the main floor was widened to draw light back into the space as far as possible. Luxury was in the form of a consistent, high quality material palette, and this was balanced with simplified design details so the rooms could be as open and un-fussy as possible.
