Extensive glazing in the daylight basement and main level was expanded, and Cook Architects added a large outdoor space to take advantage of the fantastic urban greenbelt lot.   https://nakamotoforestry.com/portfolio/sleepy-hollow-house/   Product: Gendai 1×6 select grade shiplapPrefinish: Dark GrayApplication: Residential – ExteriorSF: 1,000Designer: Cook ArchitectureBuilder: Modern ConstructsDate: March 2018 Location: Falls Church, VA More

This project was thoughtfully executed for a growing family that wanted to be surrounded by beauty.  The site captures both Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood views, and it was meticulously designed and built by a team of conscientious architects and tradespeople.

Careful positioning of the plan and windows provide views to Mount Adams and Mount Hood. The home is a linear composition of a two-level volume linked to a single-level guest suite and garage. Each volume was studied and articulated to successfully balance views and privacy. The first-floor living level spills out... More

The Marine Studies Building is heavily engineered to be a vertical evaluation structure with supplies on the rooftop to support over 920 people for up to two days post a Cascadia level event. The addition of this building thus improves the safety of those that work and play at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and in the surrounding South Beach community. The MSB uses state-of-the-art architectural and engineering techniques to make it one of the first “vertical evacuation” tsunami sites in the United States. The building will also dramatically increase the Hatfield campus’ marine science education and research capacity. The building is designed to withstand a 9+ earthquake and to survive an XXL tsunami event. The build... More

In 2007, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates (WJE) was hired to investigate the failing exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) installed at the Everett Group Health Campus.  Over the previous several years, repairs had been made to the cladding, including replacing the EIFS on the south elevation with new EIFS. WJE noted during their investigation that parts of the EIFS was de-bonded from the gypsum sheathing behind, i.e. it was starting to fall off the building. WJE recommended that the EIFS be removed and a new cladding be installed.With the building located along the I-5 corridor, Group Health wanted an upgrade to the exterior aesthetic of the building and felt it was important to present a contemporary appearance to t...
