TDX Renovation – November Update

The Theta Delta Chi fraternity building has undergone some serious remodeling.  There has been a lot of progress to the courtyard and rear of the building over the last couple of months.  But now it’s time to renovate the original building.  The exterior was retrieved to its historic state, with Ionic columns supporting the portico balcony, the shingled Gambrel roof, and the original style of shutters and windows.  The previous remodel’s vinyl siding and shutters were replaced with durable fiber...

The East Building, adjacent to 156th Ave NE, underwent a quick transition as subsurface...

Phinney Ridge Prefab – Demo

The excavator is in the process of demolition of the existing home at the site of the new Phinney Ridge Prefab home project being careful for the neighboring homes and fences. Homes are no match for an excavator, also known as a track hoe.  The long reach of the boom and bucket is able to grab the roof of a home and crumple it to the ground with little effort. Stripped bare, even the existing concrete will be removed to make way...

TDX Renovation – September Update

The Theta Delta Chi renovation at the University of Washington continues as work on the roof, cladding, and window replacement progresses.  Additional structural members were required to take the load where the aging trusses have rotted and can no longer perform to their structural rating.  On top of the new roof structure, an almost completely new plywood deck is installed. After all the struggle and time it took to remedy the deficient trusses it’s exciting to see the roof membrane on...

These walls will be clad with composite wood panels accented by random arrangements of different sized windows that announce the entry point to the project.  This playful gesture hints...
