Kristine’s () insights are featured on in a story titled, “The Front Yard Trends Designers Say You’ll See Everywhere this Summer”, written by Julia Cancilla.

“The renovation, designed by PKA Architecture, unfolded gradually over several years. The goal was clear from the beginning: restore the home’s mid-century character while making it work better for contemporary family life. Rather than focusing only on finishes, the project rethought how the house moves and lives day to day. Circulation, light, and flexibility became the guiding ideas.” ⁠

We are pleased to share that our Portland Mid Century project is featured in an article in , titled, “Before/After: Reworking a Mid-Century Home in Portland”. You can read the full story via the link in our bio. ⁠

Channel glass with translucent insulation surrounds a stairwell in the front of the home. ‘The clients desired privacy, but also wanted to let it light and make an architectural statement with the entry,’ the team said.”⁠

We’re excited to share that our latest project, Lakeside Modern, is featured in the latest home tour with , in their story “Channel Glass and Wood Wrap Lakeside Modern House in Minnesota”, written by .⁠
