The efforts for completing the Clyde Hill Residence renovation have shifted to the interior during the month of July as painting, staining, and finishing details are completed.

The Laurelhurst wine room has quickly progressed into the construction in the recent weeks since the client approved the design and engaged their contractor. An interesting challenge with this renovation, as in many others, is the owner will maintain occupancy in the house while the work it being done.  Special care is taken to reduce airborne dust, dirt, and other debris from entering the rest of the home.  This construction door separates the work area from the rest of the house...

May was a great month at the Clyde Hill Residence job site.  The contractors have completed the installation of exterior wood siding, cement board panels, and trim giving the exterior of the home a completely new design aesthetic.  The clear finished wood siding emphasizes the horizontality of the home and provides a material connection to the landscape of the lot. The full impact of the new redesigned entryway is starting to be felt with the wood siding balancing the large floor...

May 9, 2014

With the implementation of the 2012 Washington State Energy Code the requirements for air testing residential projects have changed to become more restrictive.  All new residences and additions in the state now require a blower door test to measure air leakage through the building envelope.  The test requires that air changes be less than 5 per hour, hopefully pushing towards tighter building envelopes and less energy consumption. Blower door testing may seem mundane and ordinary, but when the Godfather of Soul...
