A building block of architecture is the foundation of our logo.

Our logo originated during our early design-build work as a way to express an approach that is direct, purposeful, and with utilitarian roots. It’s a literal translation of our name. Serendipitously, it also shows up in the work itself, in moments where light comes through a window, or where an angled roof meets a vertical wall.

Staircases do more than move you between floors. We use stairwells to passively ventilate a house through the stack effect, drawing air up and out through well-placed windows and skylights high within the stairwell. They are integral design elements that enhance both the functionality of a house and the experience of moving through it.

Stairwells also bring natural light deeper into a building, create diagonal connections between rooms, and strengthen the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. A well-designed staircase should move people easily through a residence while making that movement feel engaging and connected.

Transformation of our Black Sheep Remodel.

The front porch and rear deck were reworked to better connect to both the street and backyard. A narrow, steep entry stair was replaced with a wider, more gradual approach that creates a more welcoming presence and a place to sit and engage with the neighborhood. Inside, we removed walls and introduced a screen and built-in casework to connect the living, kitchen, and dining spaces.

Introducing the Dyles Inlet House, featured on Dwell.

A few years ago, we renovated an aging brick farmhouse into a guesthouse on two acres of waterfront farmland on the Kitsap Peninsula. Today, a new primary residence is complete, drawing from the language of seaside Scandinavian farm complexes, connecting buildings to land, water, and one another.

“The idea for the dual residences came from Prentis Hale, principal of SHED Architecture & Design, who suggested it as an alternative to demolishing and rebuilding (or remuddling) the original 1930s brick house to make it big enough for everyone. ‘I just hated the idea of tearing that house down,’ says [the homeowner]. ‘Prentis talked about how the two houses would speak to one another instead.’”

Thank you, Dwell and Melissa Dalton, for the wonderful story! Read more: https://bit.ly/48UOSxU.

On designing for small spaces, via Architectural Digest.

“Drenching a tiny home in natural light can make it feel larger than it is. ‘The cabin’s single-room interior is strategically arranged to capture filtered lake views through the pine trees, creating a sense of both prospect and refuge,’ says designer Prentis Hale, principal of SHED Architecture & Design in Seattle.”

Thank you, Architectural Digest, for including us in the conversation. Keep reading: https://bit.ly/4dbyOJl.

The remodel of renowned architect Gene Zema's original family home in Lake Forest Park stands as a testament to mid-20th-century modernist architecture.

Designed by Zema for his young family, this unique residence captures the essence of Pacific Northwest modernism through its elemental wood-frame structure and the thoughtful integration of large windows, clean lines, and connection to the landscape.

Our Cupertino Courtyard House is featured in .

“This compact house is in a neighborhood close to that early ’60s enclave, and it takes their quintessential indoor-outdoor qualities and climate responsiveness to the next level. The local influence, combined with the owners’ interest in Japanese design, inspired a compact courtyard house that produces as much energy as it uses.”

Thank you, , for the feature!

Early in the Lark House renovation, we included a painting by as a placeholder in our design concept. The piece resonated with the clients so strongly that they commissioned a matching work. Each tattoo on the figure marks a meaningful moment in their lives, making the artwork as personal and integral to the home as the architecture itself.

Progress update at our Whidbey Saltbox project.

Perched on a triangular lot above Penn Cove, our design references the local saltbox tradition from the street. Around back, the angled L plan opens to the water and wraps a sheltered patio. The soaring roofline creates dramatic interior spaces and accommodates a generous solar array.

A new Whidbey Island home designed for a recently retired PNW couple drawn to island life.

Our clients plan to host family and friends, plant a hazelnut orchard (a family tradition), and maintain a bountiful garden on their new property. The low-slung gable-roofed house is stretched along the brow of a clearing, where the ground falls away to the east, toward the Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains.
