From the very beginning, with the brass tacks design from Strata Architecture, Katie and Karen set out to create a simple and beautiful space for their growing family. With hammer in hand Mētis helped them craft that space with mindful indulgences and celebrating an open and welcoming public space on the main floor in conjunction with the cozy private spaces above. Once the vision for the house had been set we turned to designing an ADU in the basement for the grandparents to stay in. Throughout the project Katie and Karen brought an energy that is reflected in the brightness of the spaces and ultimately in their home.

The Mētis team has tremendous pride in design and craftsmanship which were brought to life with creative, smart details throughout our new home project. Mikel understood our vision clearly and was always practical in his approach coupled with skillful execution.
