Overlooking Puget Sound on Agate Pass, new construction. Concept: to create a ‘village’ with a rural Japanese farm feeling, looking out from behind a long stucco wall and appearing as if multiple structures were added to a compound over time.

New family home on extensive acreage, bordering a large and protected wetland. Village architecture, having the look of a small village of several outbuildings instead of a single structure of one large volume. This concept lends itself to building forms of interconnected but simple geometry and an enclosed courtyard is formed naturally in the center of…
