SunSwallow Design, LLC The clients called me on the recommendation from a neighbor of mine who had met them at a conference and learned of their need for an architect. They contacted me and after meeting to discuss their project they invited me to visit their site, not far from White Salmon in Washington State.
Initially, the couple discussed building a ‘Weekend’ retreat on their 20± acres of land. Their site was in the foothills of a range of mountains that offered views of both Mt. Adams to the North and Mt. Hood to the South. They wanted to develop a place that was ‘cabin-like’ but with a degree of refinement to it and take advantage of the primary views to the north, south and west. They also wanted to have a strong connection to their immediate outdoors.
Before long my clients came to the conclusion that they no longer perceived this as simply a weekend retreat but were now interested in making this their primary residence. With this new focus we concentrated on keeping the refined cabin approach but needed to add some additional functions and square feet to the original program.
They wanted to downsize from their current 3,500± SF city residence to a more modest 2,000 – 2,500 SF space. They desired a singular open Living, Dining and Kitchen area but needed to have a separate room for their television and upright piano. They were empty nesters and wanted only two bedrooms and decided that they would have two ‘Master’ bedrooms, one on the lower floor and the other on the upper floor (they planned to build additional ‘Guest’ cabins to accommodate others in the near future). The original scheme for the weekend retreat was only one floor with the second bedroom tucked away on the north side of the house next to the breezeway opposite of the carport.
Another consideration that we had to resolve was that the particular location that was deemed the best building site had diametrically opposed advantages and disadvantages. The views and primary solar orientations were also the source of the prevailing winds, out of the Southwest.
The resolve was to provide a semi-circular low-profile earth berm on the south/southwest side of the structure to serve as a wind-foil directing the strongest breezes up and over the structure. Because our selected site was in a saddle of land that then sloped off to the south/southwest the combination of the earth berm and the sloping hill would effectively created a ‘nestled’ form allowing the winds rushing up the hillside to shoot over most of the house. This allowed me to keep the favorable orientation to both the views and sun without being completely compromised by the winds.
Sean Symington DesignI was asked to put together a concept for an ‘Asian street food’ restaurant in North London. My client wanted me to push myself to the limit by incorporating a plethora of pattern and colour. Sensory overload. From initial concept to completion, this project pushed me creatively into thinking about cuisine and branding alongside longevity and atmosphere. The goal was to strike the right balance between “street” and elegant, whilst also incorporating an Eastern flare. The result is a restaurant under a bridge packed full of pattern and whimsy. A fun, hip place to gather, dine and drink.

dMakeL'area dedicata al tavolo da pranzo è di grande impatto, grazie ad un sistema di illuminazione in cristallo e ottone. Il resto dell'ambiente è illuminato da un sistema di faretti su binari da incasso. Le pareti circostanti sono bianche, ad eccezione della parete dietro la libreria, colorata di un grigio/tortora e messa in risalto da un sistema radente di illuminazione led. Il pavimento in resina rende l'ambiente sofisticato ma minimale, esaltando le sedie in metallo e vullutino rosa, dalle forme morbide e vintage in contrapposizione alle linee nette e austere del tavolo in legno e cristallo.
