Modern-Shed Guest Cottage:

SEATTLE — When Kai Carroll and his wife, Emily Wang, were expecting their second child last year, they knew that they had to create more space in their cozy three-bedroom house in Ballard.

The couple loved their house, and they loved their neighborhood. But with a young son and a daughter on the way, they realized that each child would need their own room — so there would soon be no space for either set of grandparents when they came to visit the little ones.

Our client had a dilemma, he had just moved into a cute little East Vancouver BC bungalow  The upstairs was the perfect size for he and his wife and their two cats. In the basement was a revenue generating bachelor suite.

That meant no room for his design studio!

With the size of his lot there was no room for a full-fledged addition to the house. Read more ›

North Vancouver Shed

North Vancouver Shed - Edgemont Tool Shed

The Problem: This client had long been embarrassed by the look of his old metal shed. That said he was hard pressed to install your typical “Big Box Store” style backyard shed or a flimsy “Cedar Shed”. His new North Vancouver Shed had to be one that was architecturally designed to match the scope & scale of his Westcoast style home.

Studio Shed: Creating the getaway of her dreams!

Studio Shed: A stylized 10′ x 20′ Modern-Shed

A Studio Shed by Modern-ShedStudio Shed: After retiring from a world of crunching numbers for more than 30 years, Virginia Violin decided to devote more of her life to color.

Ever the artist, Virginia has always occupied her hands with some craft — sculpting, knitting, needlepoint and weaving have all been passions of hers at one point or another.

But it wasn’t until she retired from a career in accounting (she’s worked in the oil and telecom industries, and most recently was an accountant for the literary nonprofit Seattle Arts & Lectures) that she decided to get serious about her art.

The only problem was, she didn’t really have the space in her Vashon Island home to get that serious. Read more ›
