Architects
Thomas is a community based firm that provides personalized
architectural services. We work very closely with our clients to
understand the goals for their project, to provoke and guide their
imaginations and to efficiently transform these ideas into a built project.
Architecture
In our
architecture design work we seek to find the balance between the
client’s goals, the parameters of the site and context of the setting.
Every
project begins with a thorough conversation with the clients followed by an
investigation of the site and an assessment of jurisdictional
constraints.
Much of our
inspiration comes from the land, whether it is a vista, the line of a shore,
the shape of the ground or the direction of the sun. Our temperate
Northwest climate, bountiful vegetation and dramatic vistas fosters a strong
link between the exterior landscape and the interior built spaces, a
connection we work to enhance through our designs.
“I
love waking up in the winter and seeing the sun rise at our feet. We
live on that side deck in summer because it catches the last few hours of
western sun. But the house doesn’t get too hot in the summer and
it’s actually nice to sit under the trees in the back because it feels
sheltering.” – Kathleen Fowler, client.
Interiors
Interior
design is another pathway to help define you – your comfort level, your
lifestyle, your habits, your image – how you want to feel inside a
space.
Our interior
design helps harmonize your interior spaces with the setting and the
architecture. We give particular attention to scale, proportion, rhythm,
pattern, detail, color, texture, and materials. Every surface, element, and
transition is thoughtfully planned with you and with consideration of your
target budget.
We would
like to help you create the special spaces that uniquely define
“you”. We can recommend
several interior designers whom we have worked with in the past, or are happy
to work with a designer the client brings to the team.
Services
Our services
are tailored to your project needs. We bring our vision and creativity
to the table; we discuss your goals and share ideas while sharing a pencil
and paper. The solutions will be a home you love to live in, an office
where you enjoy going to work or even a tree house where nature reveals
itself.
From our
first meeting until the project is complete we will provide. These
typically include:
- Site/Location Analysis
- Conceptual Design
- Design Refinement
- Documents for Bidding and
Permitting
- Interface with governmental
agencies
- Budgeting with your contractor
- Construction observation and
administration
