Construction progress at our Ashland Shop project in southern Oregon.

Exterior palette coming together with weathered steel corrugated siding, custom formed fascia and trim, and warehouse-style glazing at the office corner. Inside, fir plywood now lines the walls and ceilings, bringing warmth and softness to the larger industrial volume.

Skylights installed in the main shop, introducing changing natural light deep into the workspace over the course of the day.

Excited to see the relationship between material, light, and detailing continue to take shape as construction moves forward.

We’re thrilled to announce that our iolair project has been nominated as one of five finalists worldwide for the Architizer A+ awards in the “Gallery & Exhibition Spaces” Category!

iolair, Gaelic for eagle (pronounced eye-oh-LAIR), is a multi-use artist residency on an infill lot in the heart of Eastsound, Orcas Island. The project creates a sequence of spaces for living, working, and exhibiting as an artist. The L-shaped plan frames a courtyard for gathering and future installations, and together with a future artist residence space, establishes a creative enclave that bridges residential and commercial contexts.

Revival of the Silo was an international design competition that GO'C entered to reimagine an industrial silo site on the Pearl River flowing through Guangzhou China. The proposal imagines a repurposed silo in an underactivated industrial district as an art forum, bathing center, and community hub enveloped in a characteristic bamboo landscape. Existing factory buildings were repurposed to form classrooms, galleries, art studios, and a gateway to the reimagined silo. This gathering space of multiple communal uses allows water and art expression to take center stage.

The project blended GO'C’s radical approaches to bathing, the arts, and community-inspired institutional projects. From Mini Mart City Park in Georgetown, to wa_sauna on Lake Union , or iolair on Orcas Island, we are actively interested in spaces that bring people together around shared creative experiences.

Honored to share that GO'C will be featured in the book:
New Northwest: Residential Architecture in the Evergreen State, forthcoming this fall.

Our project Sound House is included as a four-spread feature, alongside a firm profile and interview. The book will also highlight additional work from our studio, including Ceramics Studio, In-Kind House, and Tinyleaf Cabin.

We’re also grateful to be included alongside many talented architects whose work we’ve long admired, and who, in many ways, drew us to the Pacific Northwest early on.

Written by Lauren Gallow ( Lauren Gallow ), with a foreword by William Hanley ( William Hanley ), the book surveys a new generation of residential architecture across Washington, exploring how designers are reshaping Northwest Modernism in response to place, climate, and contemporary life.

Pre-orders are now live. Link in bio.

Thank you to Figure1 Publishing ( Figure 1 Publishing ) for the inclusion. Looking forward to sharing more as we get closer to launch.

Honored to share that The Rambler is featured by in a short film capturing the house, its setting in Indianola, and the ideas behind it.

For years, we have followed and admired the work The Local Project curates, making this inclusion especially meaningful.

This project is also deeply personal to our practice. The Rambler is the home of Jon Gentry, co-founder of GO'C, and his wife Lydia. The project reflects a uniquely close and continuous engagement with the work, shaped through both design process and lived experience building this place with Sparrow Woodworks.

Grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life and to The Local Project for telling the story with such care.

Our Yesler Way office is up on today, featuring new photos by alongside a deep dive into the drawings behind the work.

Link in bio to see the full project.

A renovation of a historic Pioneer Square loft into our studio, set within the 1892 Schwabacher Building along Seattle’s original “Skid Road.” The project reworks a former live/work artist space into an architecture office rooted in material memory, light, and craft.

Solid Douglas fir shapes the interior throughout. Bookcases, desks, and partition walls are built from stacked planks with oversized tongue-and-groove joinery, creating a continuous, tactile rhythm across the space. A series of inserted wooden elements, including a pivoting wall at the entry, draw directly from the history of timber moving down Yesler Way to the waterfront.

More than an office, the space is a framework for making, hosting, and sharing work. From exhibitions during First Thursday Art Walks to everyday practice, it connects us to the city, its history, and the broader landscape beyond.

Our Ceramics Studio project is featured on today! Article link in our bio.

“The Ceramics Studio in West Seattle emerges from the intersection of artistic practice, cultural identity, and pragmatic urban design. Designed by GO’C for ceramic artist Natasha Alphonse, the project was conceived as a dedicated place for making, teaching, and sharing ceramics while also meeting the regulatory requirements of a detached accessory dwelling unit. This dual purpose encouraged a compact and efficient architectural response that balances professional studio needs with long-term residential flexibility.

Alphonse’s personal background informed the conceptual direction of the project. Raised in Northern Saskatchewan and connected to the Denesuline tribe, she draws inspiration from landscapes defined by quiet strength, natural materials, and subdued color palettes. Her ceramic forms reflect these qualities through simplified shapes and earthy tones. The architects translated these sensibilities into a restrained architectural language that emphasizes clarity, warmth, and a close relationship between craft and material expression.” - Anton Giuroiu

Seattle Chamber of Music was an invited design competition that GO'C was one of three finalists for in 2025. Our proposal centered around a renovation of an existing space on the top floor of the U.S. Bank Center, which has become a thriving third space in Seattle’s Central Business District.

Our proposal imagined that the heart of the new home for the Seattle Chamber Music Society would be an acoustic “Chestnut,” a wood and upholstered paneled listening chamber used for live performances and formal rehearsals. A circulation corridor leading to the Chestnut would house practice studios that immerse performers, visitors, and patrons alike in the act of producing sound.

The competition was part of the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s vision to keep a new generation of enthusiasts engaged and inspired. We imagined the Chestnut as an iconic centerpiece for SCMS and its bright, renewed future.

Projects like this continue to expand our firm’s work in the cultural and arts-focused realm. From Mini Mart City Park in Georgetown to iolair on Orcas Island, we are interested in spaces that bring people together around shared creative experiences. This proposal explores how architecture can frame listening, rehearsal, and performance as collective moments in the life of the city.

Wind-Breaker / Walla Walla, WA

Ground broken on a ridgeline just southwest of downtown Walla Walla.

Recent aerial photographs from our builder capture the footings and stem walls rising out of the earth. It is always exciting to witness this moment after so much time spent developing the two-dimensional plan for the home, the generator of the design.

The courtyard plan forms a protected center, the heart of the house, sheltered from the steady western winds.

From the interior spaces, our clients and their visiting family and friends will experience the changing seasons through views into the courtyard. The landscape will quietly mark the passage of time as foliage shifts, weather patterns move through the valley, and winter brings heavy snow.
