From Insulation to Accent Colors: Latest Updates on the Hilltop Design-Build Project

Budget-friendly redesign transforms home with practicality and elegance
/in News /by 2ataraThis 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.

Window-ful Progress at our Hilltop Design-Build Project
/in News /by 2ataraWe’ve been busy with the Hilltop Design-Build Spec project, and the house is finally taking shape! This month, we hit a major milestone: the installation of the windows, bringing the structure closer to becoming a true home. This undertaking is a real passion project for us, and we’ve been putting in a lot of effort to bring our vision to life. The installation of the windows was a challenging but rewarding process, and we’re thrilled with how it’s transformed the space. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue crafting this beautiful and functional home.

2atara designs new minimal-waste chair to benefit those in need
/in News /by 2ataraWe’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 News /by 2ataraReducing 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
/in News /by 2ataraThe 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!

Framing, rails, happy floors and more…
/in News /by 2ataraThe majority of the framing on the main house at Hilltop is now complete with roof framing currently underway. We are excited about the recycled steel mesh being used to create the rail system. Anticipating a late spring completion, the ADU is now plastered, painted and being tiled with sustainable tile products from Happy Floors.

Cantilever Raised at Hilltop
/in News /by 2ataraThe giant cantilever is now up at our Hilltop project. This will allow the master bedroom to look over the beautiful rain gardens and down the original World War 2 runway! We’ve enjoyed working with Monkey Wrench Fabrications for the metal work on this project and are grateful for their creativity. Next up is the second floor framing.

Manzanita Kitchen Remodel
/in News /by 2ataraWorking with a classic mid century modern structure we created a kitchen that integrates well with the existing living room. The installation of a very long and low window allows for different view experiences and makes the room feel much bigger and more contemporary. By introducing a very small cantilevered addition in the kitchen we saved on cost and created the main design concept — a kitchen cut into two with the insertion of a dining room table. Making the kitchen feel larger, the addition also has a customized tilted window to an outdoor eating counter. The monochromatic color palette used also helps make the spaces feel much bigger than they really are.
Happy Thanksgiving 2022!
