Pretty great article about homes and design... Keep an eye out for Drake Architecture in the piece!

Whether you have a house, condo, or townhouse, today’s homes work harder than ever to bring multi-use needs into a single space. How we make space for work, play, privacy, and togetherness evolves. So, too, does how we view home—especially in today’s challenging market. Design & remodeling “...

Sometimes the best way to improve a home is to add only what is truly needed. For this project, we designed a modest addition that created space for a new primary suite with practical entry and efficient laundry, giving the homeowners more room and functionality without losing the character and scale of the existing home.

The goal was simple: make the home work better for the way our clients live, while making the addition feel as though it had always belonged there.

We’re proud to have partnered with Motley Construction to bring this project from design to reality. Thoughtful architecture and careful craftsmanship come together to create spaces that feel natural, purposeful, and uniquely suited to the people who call them home.

A bathroom where texture, warmth, a details do the talking. From fluted wood vanity and brass fixtures to the green walls and patterned tile, each element creates a space that feels both refined and inviting. This space is built for a young couple to enjoy for years to come.

Which detail catches your eye first?

The feeling of coming home starts at the front door.

Nestled on a wooded hillside with views stretching across the valley below, this custom residence was designed around arrival, comfort, and connection. Inspired by mountain architecture and Northwest character, the home blends natural stone, stained wood, and expansive windows into a timeless expression of place.

A welcoming entry framed by native plantings and warm materials creates an inviting first impression, while vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and panoramic views draw the landscape into the heart of the home.

Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main-floor primary suite, indoor-outdoor living spaces, and connected kitchen, dining, and great room create a home that feels equally suited for quiet mornings and memorable gatherings.

Architecture is more than shelter. It’s the experience of returning to a place that feels unmistakably yours.
