Presenting our innovative newest office transformation, where we creatively repurposed an old warehouse to build our own contemporary space. The interior was organized around long view sheds, emphasizing openness and cohesion. A neutral color palette makes the area appear larger and fresher. The project consolidated storage spaces, added a workshop, and brings improved parking for clients. Notably, the office benefits from a large insulated garage door, as well as the incorporation of recycled glass elements, further enhancing sun exposure, energy efficiency, and sustainable design practices. Platforms for offices and a loft space create an illusion of spaciousness. This project is a demonstration of 2atara’s creativity and commitment to building functional and inspiring spaces. From the sustainable repurposing of the warehouse to the strategic organization of the interior, every aspect of this project showcases our passion for exceptional design. The result is a modern, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing office that embodies our values and vision for the company.

This project was a fantastic collaboration with our clients, who brought many brilliant ideas to the table. They proposed a separate addition that would include a mud and laundry room, as well as remodeling the bathroom and kitchen. However, due to increased building material costs, we had to find a more feasible solution that worked within the budget. Skillfully re-designing the existing spaces, the 2atara team not only eliminated the need for an expensive addition but also managed to complete all aspects of the project within the allocated budget. The revamped home now boasts several notable features, including space-maximizing built-in cabinetry, symmetrical cabinets for a streamlined effect, and re-aligned doors that offer uninterrupted views, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors. Furthermore, the primary entrance was redesigned with a concrete runway inspired by a local Bainbridge Island boardwalk, providing a natural and welcoming pathway into the residence. This project exemplifies the team’s commitment to practicality and resourcefulness in creating exceptional living spaces.

We’ve been working on the design of a contemporary Adirondack chair here at the 2atara office. Our plan is to cut the entire chair using a C&C machine from one sheet of 4×8 plywood, aiming to minimize waste as much as possible. The chair will be delivered in a flat stack and will be easily assembled on-site. Our goal is to donate all proceeds from chair sales to a non-profit organization that helps people in need.

The interior of the ADU is now ready for cabinets — we used a 4’ high datum line detail in the space as a clever way to “open it up”.  Framing for the penthouse is complete so we’ll be scheduling the “topping out” party!
