Chadboure Doss
We take a holistic approach to creating unique environments that are relevant to their place and deeply responsive to our client's needs and desires. Our work embodies a fascination with the contrasting relationships of everyday life - inside/outside, public/private, technology/nature - through the innovative use of form, materials, and light. Taking on creative projects at all scales; we have a particular interest in work that engages environment, craft, and community.

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.

Like many older homes, this 4,800 square foot brick manor turned its back on a park-like half acre lot in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.
With appreciation for the historic woodwork, craftsmanship and materials, we wanted to preserve history while transforming the home to connect indoor spaces directly to the expansive back yard.

A modern conservatory was the concept for a new addition that opens the house to the backyard.
A new Kitchen and Family Room open to a covered Patio at the Ground Floor.
This house is a complete remodel of one of iconic Seattle architect Fred Bassetti's earliest designs.
The entry approach was redesigned with a cantilevered concrete landing in the sunken Courtyard and a large glass pivot door.

The relationship of interior to exterior space is enhanced with large sliding doors and celebrated with the creation of new outdoor spaces that extend out from the interior.
While appreciating the classic modern structure, the owners wanted to open up the floor plan, update all finishes, and tailor the home to suit their interests and lifestyle.
This new home was designed for a couple who found an empty lot and wanted to capitalize on lake and mountain views.

Constrained to a 32' wide footprint, windows open up to the east views and light while the sides of the house allow for privacy.
To articulate the primary masses of the residence, a combination of clear cedar siding, and cement board siding was used.
A corner window at the reading bench provides a framed view of Mount Rainier.
A room for storing and working on the owners'19 bicycles was provided on the ground floor.
5 years after the main house was built, our clients asked if they could add a separate studio for their guests.
We designed and built a new structure that is separate but related.

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.
Located on a dense urban shoreline site, this residence is built on an existing daylight basement, and celebrates its setting while providing privacy to its family.

Bedrooms are located on the ground floor, with large sliding doors to provide privacy at night and openness during the day.
The stair is located on the south facing street frontage, providing filtered views into and out of the residence.
Large sliding doors in the Living Room allow the space to open up to the exterior and water views.
