In this reimagined mid-century home, we embrace sustainability through authentic living design principles. By preserving the original single-story form, we create a sunlit courtyard using passive solar techniques. Prioritizing old-world natural materials and processes, we craft a healthy interior environment, devoid of artificial dyes, paints, and stains. Experience the luxury of simplicity, where the past converges with the present in perfect harmony with nature.

The front courtyard is encased in a Texas limestone privacy wall. It is seamlessly connected to the rear pool, deck, an... More

Big Fir Vineyard is a single-family residence in the hills of a designated wine grape-growing region in the Willamette Valley.  Formed from the topography and agricultural plan of the site, this small home is carefully designed to both take in the surrounding landscape and become a part of it. Indoor-outdoor elements visually extend the interior spaces, and the roof shape mimics the incline of the site. Big Fir is comfortably nestled into a newly planted vineyard, oriented to harmonize with the rows of vines. Andrew Pogue Photography Andrew Pogue Photography It was only by chance that the clients purchased the land; they came across the lot while visiting family in the area and saw its potential as a vineyard – somethi...

Tongass Ledge sits gently perched over the Alaskan shore. Overlooking inlet waters and balanced at the edge of a rock wall, two volumes at a subtle angle capture the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. For a busy client who splits time between Seattle and Ketchikan, the complete design required a simple form and program, personalized through highly custom interiors. Standing at the edge of the vibrant Tongass Narrows, the Ledge is the perfect lookout for a nature lover. Andrew Pogue Tongass Ledge’s geometry is defined by two tall shed roof structures with a connector between them. This figurative knuckle serves as the main entry to the home and connects the private and public spaces with an outdoor deck. The front d... More

A modest wedge shaped parcel of land on the edge of a coastal bluff inspired a robust angular-shaped holiday home. Two long off form concrete pavilions follow the long edges of the site and meet at the site’s most prominent corner, rising up from the native landscape not unlike the natural sandstone escarpments in the locality. The concrete walls of both levels are articulated in their respective textures, and form humble backdrops to the surrounding landscape, both new and existing.  Brett Boardman Brett Boardman Internally the home is as comfortable and intimate for 2 as it is for 10 persons, with a range of separate living spaces to retreat to within the acute spaces (ocean side) of the plan. A roof terrace enables... More

New to Iowa City’s historic Northside District, Market House is a mixed-use gathering place located at the corner of North Linn and Market streets. According to Nick Lindsley of Neumann Monson Architects, “The neighborhood, which is steeped in familiarity and a long history, has many buildings primarily clad in brick. Our strategy consisted of creating a five-story building, that blended in with these surrounding brick buildings, but also had a visual and textural identity of its own. At first, we thought about using terra cotta on the building’s façade to complement brick, which we had originally chosen.” Co-owner and developer of Market House, Ross Nusser added, “There’s much history here on the...
