ONE THING IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER
Every project brings a unique set of opportunities and constraints to our design process. At PBW, we pride ourselves on not being driven by preconceived notions or stylistic dogmas. Instead, we strive to apply our design expertise to draw the most out of each collaboration, putting your needs first and leaving you with a house that is uniquely yours.
WE LISTEN
Every project starts with a detailed discussion of your needs, hopes, and dreams. Our goal is a house that reflects who you are and how you want to live. Similarly, we look to you to guide the experience you want during design and construction; whether you want to sit with us over a set of plans and trace paper or simply be handed the keys to a finished project, we are happy to tailor our collaboration to fit your needs.
INSPIRED BY THE SITE
Whether a mountaintop or an urban lot, each project site inspires our design process. At PBW the site is a primary driver of design, and we strive to emphasize the positives while embracing constraints to enrich our design solutions. We begin every project with an intensive site evaluation that documents topography, views, sun angles, trees, neighboring structures, and more. These site-specific items are combined with climate data and code requirements into a synthesized analysis that forms one of the key foundations of our work. In the end, your house should feel integral to, and a celebration of, its surroundings.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE
PBW has over 30 years of experience designing beautiful, thoughtful homes. Our vast body of work and the experience of our architects help form new insights and solutions to each client's project. We work as a team within a collaborative environment that guarantees you'll receive the full breadth of our office's considerable expertise.
BUILT TO LAST
Our work lives in some of the most extreme climates, and we believe durability and longevity is critically important to every project. Whether the building is suspended over the Puget Sound, under ten feet of snow in the High Sierras, or on an urban side street, we carefully apply cutting edge building science, highly detailed drawings, and tight collaboration with builders to ensure a home that brings joy for decades to come.
WE DO IT ALL
Depending on your needs, our holistic design approach can extend from your landscape to your silverware drawer. A designed connection to the landscape and plantings can bring added depth and enjoyment to any home. Similarly, carefully considered interiors, material selections and furnishings can create a truly cohesive, one of a kind living space. Our team has the capabilities to bring your dreams to fruition, regardless of the scale.
