‘24 / ’25 Winter Updates
The Latest Project Milestones
Lopez Food Center
The Lopez Food Center will be home to both the local Food Share (currently already serving 1,200 individuals on island) and the San Juan Food Hub (an inter-island local food distributor). The sustainable structure will take advantage of the beauty of the local wetland site with plenty of indoor / outdoor spaces, and room for not only food access, but events and resources for locals.
Currently in design, construction is expected to kick off late summer 2025.

Camp Nor’wester Henderson Commons and Offices
Camp Nor’Wester has been a local favorite since its founding in the 1930s. We’re excited to be a part of these updated elements to support their programming.
Henderson Commons is currently under construction and includes a light-filled multi purpose gathering space, museum, library and commissary to support summer time camp activities (shown on the left here). With prefabricated timber frame components and insulated panels, the structure is intended to be assembled expeditiously on an outer island. See more of this project here.
Affordable Farmworker Housing on Lopez
In collaboration with the Lopez Community Land Trust, this prototypical residence is meant to be replicated. Its assembly simplifies construction, minimizes site impact and reduces its carbon footprint, while accommodating seasonal farm workers and new farmers.
Currently under construction, this project is expected to finish early summer 2025. See more of this project here.
This project was also recently featured in ARCADE Magazine, a Seattle based design & architecture magazine, in a piece written by UW student Graycie Viscon. Read the article here, on pages 8-10.
Islandview Basecamp
On a 10 acre site with spectacular views of Lopez Sound, Mt Baker and the Cascades on Lopez island, we’re designing a basecamp comprised of several structures designed to accommodate friends who enjoy gathering together before pushing off into outdoor sports and island adventures.
This project is currently in design; a construction timeline has not yet been established. Stay tuned for more!
Courtyard House
The Courtyard House, a highly efficient home on Lopez Island, is situated to maximize daylight and frame a central garden space. We photographed it recently with Taj Howe, and are excited to offer a closer look at this project.
