Wind-Breaker / Walla Walla, WA

With the walls now framed and the roof trusses being set into place, the form of the house is beginning to emerge. These large wood trusses establish the primary gesture of the project, a single sheltering hip roof that gathers the living spaces, guest wing, and support spaces beneath one unifying structure.

At its center, a large courtyard is carved from the roof form, creating a protected outdoor room open to the sky while remaining sheltered from the prevailing western winds.

Always exciting to reach this stage of construction, when ideas that have existed for years in drawings and models suddenly become tangible. The scale of the rooms, the proportions of the courtyard, and the relationship between roof, wall, and landscape can finally be experienced as this new structure emerges.

Construction progress at our Ashland Shop project in southern Oregon.

Exterior palette coming together with weathered steel corrugated siding, custom formed fascia and trim, and warehouse-style glazing at the office corner. Inside, fir plywood now lines the walls and ceilings, bringing warmth and softness to the larger industrial volume.

Skylights installed in the main shop, introducing changing natural light deep into the workspace over the course of the day.

Excited to see the relationship between material, light, and detailing continue to take shape as construction moves forward.

We’re thrilled to announce that our iolair project has been nominated as one of five finalists worldwide for the Architizer A+ awards in the “Gallery & Exhibition Spaces” Category!

iolair, Gaelic for eagle (pronounced eye-oh-LAIR), is a multi-use artist residency on an infill lot in the heart of Eastsound, Orcas Island. The project creates a sequence of spaces for living, working, and exhibiting as an artist. The L-shaped plan frames a courtyard for gathering and future installations, and together with a future artist residence space, establishes a creative enclave that bridges residential and commercial contexts.

Revival of the Silo was an international design competition that GO'C entered to reimagine an industrial silo site on the Pearl River flowing through Guangzhou China. The proposal imagines a repurposed silo in an underactivated industrial district as an art forum, bathing center, and community hub enveloped in a characteristic bamboo landscape. Existing factory buildings were repurposed to form classrooms, galleries, art studios, and a gateway to the reimagined silo. This gathering space of multiple communal uses allows water and art expression to take center stage.

The project blended GO'C’s radical approaches to bathing, the arts, and community-inspired institutional projects. From Mini Mart City Park in Georgetown, to wa_sauna on Lake Union , or iolair on Orcas Island, we are actively interested in spaces that bring people together around shared creative experiences.

Honored to share that GO'C will be featured in the book:
New Northwest: Residential Architecture in the Evergreen State, forthcoming this fall.

Our project Sound House is included as a four-spread feature, alongside a firm profile and interview. The book will also highlight additional work from our studio, including Ceramics Studio, In-Kind House, and Tinyleaf Cabin.

We’re also grateful to be included alongside many talented architects whose work we’ve long admired, and who, in many ways, drew us to the Pacific Northwest early on.

Written by Lauren Gallow ( Lauren Gallow ), with a foreword by William Hanley ( William Hanley ), the book surveys a new generation of residential architecture across Washington, exploring how designers are reshaping Northwest Modernism in response to place, climate, and contemporary life.

Pre-orders are now live. Link in bio.

Thank you to Figure1 Publishing ( Figure 1 Publishing ) for the inclusion. Looking forward to sharing more as we get closer to launch.

Honored to share that The Rambler is featured by in a short film capturing the house, its setting in Indianola, and the ideas behind it.

For years, we have followed and admired the work The Local Project curates, making this inclusion especially meaningful.

This project is also deeply personal to our practice. The Rambler is the home of Jon Gentry, co-founder of GO'C, and his wife Lydia. The project reflects a uniquely close and continuous engagement with the work, shaped through both design process and lived experience building this place with Sparrow Woodworks.

Grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life and to The Local Project for telling the story with such care.
