Darden House
Here we have a space designed to take in the views. This home stands tall, with a ‘crow’s nest’ perched perfectly at the end of a sky bridge on the upper level. The exterior confirms this is an intriguing solution to joining spaces, allowing the main house and garage levels to feel as one. 2atara […]
Helmsman House
In keeping with our commitment to sustainable design, this project is a showcase for successful execution. With room to ‘think big’ in the design stage of this acreage site, 2atara worked to keep an existing barn on the land – and to integrate its history into a new and contemporary home. The concept of work […]
Completed Studio
Completed 200 sq. foot studio designed with versatility in mind. Work and creative space with convertible sleeping arrangements, ample storage and ensuite 3/4 bath. We designed and built this unit to fit a range of needs while creating minimal impact on property coverage and usable yard space.

Brady Art Studio
The ultimate above garage studio, this gem will be an absolute dream to occupy. With clever soffit symmetry, moving walls, and raised bed area the room seems many times larger than the documented square footage. Well insulated and with a mini split heating system the energy bills will be extremely low. More pictures coming soon!
Eiler Bridge Project
Here is a great example of the type of architectural concrete work we love doing in our Eiler Bridge project. A fun new entrance to this lovely waterfront house will help anchor it to the site. Work underway also includes bathroom remodels and some exciting sleeping lofts for the kids.
Euclid Remodel Complete
Located on the water this lovely home required some strategic updating. Working with the concept of openness and flexibility the downstairs was transformed into a media room, gym, and guests bedroom with a large glass sliding wall. The kitchen remodel then pushed and pulled spatial relationships through color to transform it into a large open […]
Bathroom remodel, Crystal Springs Bainbridge Island
Rather than adding an extra addition on the house with its added carbon footprint, 2atara squeezed a spectacular bathroom into a tiny space. With the concept of a wood box (walk-in closet) and glass box (shower) juxtaposed against each other, we manipulate space. The result? A room that feels much bigger and more inviting than […]
Hackenberg Remodel is now complete
Nestled on the banks of the Port Townsend Sound, this artist’s studio provides unusually flexible working spaces for the artist. With giant insulated barn doors that open onto glass covered canopies, any painting experience can be created. On the inside, custom designed steel pulley loft winches, rolling ladder, and clamping systems provide the artist room […]
