Creating Connection with Style: 2atara’s Regency Office Transformation

/in /by

2atara’s goal for the Regency Office TI on Bainbridge Island was to create a feeling of connection and a seamless indoor/outdoor experience, vital for a client whose primary office is in Hawaii. Within a LEED certified building with radiant concrete floors, innovative interior-design blends the industrial metal structure with moved walls and captivating sightlines.

An accent wall designed by Abnormals Anonymous, a local wallpaper artist, infuses artistic flair. Metal countertops reflect the building’s ambiance, creating cohesion. The clever kitchen counter design running through the floor to ceiling windows connects indoor and outdoor elements, while antique surfboards nod to Hawaii’s influence.

Relaxation space with rock-like pillows and visual ceiling continuity from outside the office into the conference room add character & additional connection. Thoughtful blinds strike a balance between outdoor views and blocking harsh sunlight.

Throughout this project, the accommodating and friendly clients contributed to a collaborative masterpiece that seamlessly blends style and functionality.

2atara Unveils Cutting-Edge Office Transformation: Repurposed Warehouse Transformed into a Sustainable and Stylish Workspace

/in /by

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.

Budget-friendly redesign transforms home with practicality and elegance

/in /by

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.

2atara designs new minimal-waste chair to benefit those in need

/in /by

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.

Reducing construction waste

/in /by

Reducing construction waste is the name of the game at our Hilltop job site.  Did you know construction sites generate an estimated 600 million tons of construction and demolition waste in the United States alone? This box at the site was built to collect all wood that is able to be recycled at Tilz.  Happy Earth Day 2023!

Hilltop Project April Update

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!
