A sculpture or a building?
/in Inspiration, News /by 2ataraWe are big fans of this beautiful architecture. Look how the pixilated voids randomly placed make it appear like a sculpture rather than a building — very cool.
Corten Steel Siding at Irene Place
/in Jobsite, News /by 2ataraOur Irene Place remodel is in the process of getting its new corten steel siding installed. You can see the pieces laying in the yard for intentional weathering. It’s an impressive product we are excited to use, as the oxidization process protects it from further rusting and will not require maintenance like most siding. It’s a great product for those who aren’t interested in re-painting their homes every 5-10 years. Learn more about this extensive remodel near the Bainbridge Ferry terminal here.
Wow!
/in Inspiration, News /by 2ataraWOW! Italian artist Peeta combines elements of graffiti and abstract art to paint murals on buildings like this one that play tricks on the eyes as the image appears to morph and dissolve the structure depending on ones viewing angle. So inspiring! See more of his work here: https://www.peeta.net/
Schel Chelb Home
/in Images, News, Project /by 2ataraWe are excited to share these beautiful photos of our recently completed Schel Chelb home. We enjoyed working with BC&J Architects and their fantastic design sensibilities on this project. The new 2900 sf home boasts innovative clear story spaces with beautiful vaulted ceilings. Impressive cantilevered steel canopies and picture framed windows help give the home it’s contemporary Scandinavian schoolhouse look. Built to LEED standards with high-end materials throughout, and extremely energy-efficient plumbing fixtures and HVAC system, this home is another testament to sustainability.

Jones Kitchen
/in News, Project /by 2ataraThis beautiful home on the tranquil waters of Port Blakley recently underwent a significant kitchen remodel, reorienting it to maximize views of the harbor and help the space breathe. The appliances, lighting and color scheme were chosen for their subtlety, keeping the focus on the views beyond.
The integration of modifications to massive columns and a river rock fireplace into the new contemporary kitchen was a way to tie the rest of the public spaces into the kitchen remodel. Milled wood and brass plates wrapped on the bases of the columns were just a few of the unique design features added. Stonework modifications on the chimney gives the impression the stones are peeling off and flowing across the floor. These stones were repurposed from a dismantled chimney at another 2atara project on the Island.
This innovative new kitchen was designed with collaboration at its heart. The space was envisioned in a way so that the client, a gifted wood-worker, could contribute his skill. At 2atara we value this kind of collaboration, allowing clients to feel more invested in their projects.

Parker Remodel
/in News, Project /by 2ataraWhen our clients first approached us with their plans to demo their 2400 sf 1960s rambler and build a new home from scratch, we immediately jumped at the challenge to salvage the home instead. The significant waste and environmental impacts from new construction are something we like to avoid when possible, and we love the challenge of making something old shine once again. Using sketch-up modelling and our design/build expertise we were able to help the client visualize how to successfully approach and execute such a project.
The renovation kicked off with a large stand-alone garage being picked up by a giant crane and relocated onto its new pad. Between the garage and original house an infill wing addition was built with new entry, dining, large chefs kitchen, and mud room. With a significant amount of site infill two courtyards were created and 300 sf of deck and patio added.
The entire house was then remodeled inside and out transforming the dated rambler into a contemporary Scandinavian farmhouse. The 737 sf addition was designed around a giant sliding glass door repurposed from another project. The home was re-designed for solar-gain with massive windows on the south side to bring in ample light.
Completed: June 2020
