Back in 1993, we - Daren and Lisa - met in the first year of studio while studying for our Masters of Architecture at the University of Washington. Degrees, jobs, a house, marriage, a dog, an historic industrial fishing complex, and a child followed. We established chadbourne + doss architects in Seattle, 2001, and in Astoria 2002. With different backgrounds, experiences, and design perspectives; we work together in a genuine collaboration that is enlightened, investigative, thoughtful.
Our designs always push through strong ideas to create beautiful, efficient, and inspiring environments.

We chose to align the structure with the north rear section of the main house with a 10' separation.
This allowed for more yard and privacy for their guests.
Everyone wanted the project to be sustainable, so solar panels were installed on the roofs of both residences, which has allowed for net zero energy consumption.
