This project is a contemporary triplex located in the Pacific Northwest, designed with a focus on comfort, clarity, and livability. Each of the three-story units contains three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and open-concept living spaces. The design process prioritized human comfort and the rhythms of everyday life. Rather than emphasizing novelty, the project sought to create a space that residents would want to return to—day after day, year after year.

The layout emphasizes openness and flow, with each level carefully organized to balance privacy and connection. Interior finishes are simple and durable. The palette and materiality were kept intentionally restrained, allowing the life of the occupants to animate the space. Thoughtful attention was given to proportion and circulation throughout, supporting a daily experience that is both intuitive and calming.
