Honolulu Housing Hui
DA is working with a group of families in Hawaii to design an affordable, connected, community in tune with the environment. By joining together, the group and their developer are finding opportunities to reduce land and construction costs significantly. Along with Schemata Workshop in Seattle and Collaborative Studio on Oahu, we are evaluating sites in and around Honolulu. Check out the Honolulu Housing Hui website or contact us to learn more about the project and the cohousing movement.

Brick house/book house.
This whole-house remodel gives a venerable brick Tudor home a modern twist. Designed for two booklovers, it incorporates shelving and cozy seating areas throughout the house. Steel windows, doors and exposed structure open the interior to light and views. The exterior features a 'secret garden' and a sunroom and terrace that overlook Lake Washington. Under construction.

 
         
   

 


DA led a series of brainstorming workshops to create a vision for this 4,000 acre eco-resort in rural California wine country. Currently seeking investors, the project will include a walking golf course, airstrip, bunkhouse, resort center, eco-cabins, a 3,000 acre preserve, and an extensive trail system.
