Perched on a rock halfway up a mountain the studio is a reward for those willing to make the hike. The plan plays with the idea of a square within a larger square. The double-height space holds a suspended sleeping platform reached by retractable ladder.
Working with vernacular forms on either side of the living room, the building recalls the simple architectural character of the area while affording a living room that is little more than an extension of the gardens on either side.
This little building is the re-imagination of an existing boathouse that had no windows, one door, and no charm. It is conceived as a building that can turn itself inside out, offering a protective layer of concrete block and steel to the outside with the warmth of marine plywood on the inside.
Located along Alki Beach in West Seattle, Harry’s Beach House is the cousin of Harry’s Fine Foods located on Capitol Hill and reflects the same spirit of welcome and home. The Beach House imagines a kind of surf and turf chic that is both nostalgic and fresh.
This downtown Seattle condominium captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest. An existing apartment was stripped to the studs and reworked to create a warm and masculine urban retreat for an Alaska-based bachelor.
The owner of this property came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer looking for a personal retreat inspired by a treasured stone and wood home lost to fire decades earlier in the hills of Appalachia.
Harry’s Fine Foods, sharing the name of the corner market that stood there for years, opened over the weekend in a full rebuild of the old store. Plenty of the past remains. The plan is to open with a breakfast, brunch, and lunch focus before eventually expanding into the dinner and nighttime bar business.
