Driven Motion FERRARI film AT Bellevue Residence

Still image from film of Boy with Existential Crisis

Our client Mike Hone had some friends use his home for a beautifully shot short film whose supporting cast includes an equally beautiful car - a new Ferrari GT Roma. The film is produced by Andy Kim and Robin Har, cinematography by Joseph Choi. The film is called the Music of Ferrari. Mike hired us for a full renovation of his Mid-Century Modern home which was completed late 2021. More on this home to come…

Madison Park Home Concept

Going through our archives from the 2019 year. This was a fast charette concept developed by our office with the help of Robert Spooner. A realtor colleague wanted to know how a site could be re-imagined and maximized with a new home. The corner lot stretches it’s long side to the South providing excellent sun exposure for an elevated and private deck area. Taking advantage of the Southern exposure and backing up to the adjacent building allowed both a warm space onto which dining and living areas open - plus the possibility ample growing space for a home food garden. The main house has 3 bedrooms plus a connector to a 2 car Garage and DADU.

Wilkens Design Studio offers Passive House Consultation

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best energy performance standards to our clients, we are proud to announce that Wilkens Design Studio has officially joined the Certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC) community!

Passive House is a rigorous design and construction approach that can be applied to both new and existing projects.

A Passive House-designed building optimizes both high comfort and energy use. They are airtight and have super-insulated building envelopes. Windows are high-performance, and buildings require minimal - if any - traditional heating and cooling equipment, relying on heat recovery and ventilation systems to supply a constant flow of filtered, conditioned fresh air.

Certification is issued by the US Passive House Institute (www.phius.org). The design process is unique for the various climate zones in the US.

Please reach out to us if you would like to know more about this highly effective approach to designing and building for your next project!

Completed Seattle Condominium Project

A hint of some great photographs by Mellissa Kaseman Photography of our Condominium Renovation Project in a downtown Seattle Landmark Building. This was the building’s Recital Hall - on the 7th floor. The project involved a complete renovation of 2 bathrooms, bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Area and Kitchen. The biggest challenge on this project was installing a new elevator connecting the 7th, 8th, and Roof Levels. Working with a great team from MRA and Buker Engineering, we were able to negotiate installing the elevator in concert with existing structure.
