Studio

A small studio,
by design.

Reservoir Studio · est. 2014. AIA · NCARB · LEED AP. Featured in Dwell, Architectural Record, and Wallpaper*. [Your City] · Pacific Northwest.

Studio

We build for the climate, the site,
and the slow life of a house.

Reservoir is a small studio. We take six to eight projects a year so that the principal, and the people you'd actually hire us for, are present from first sketch to final walkthrough.

Our work is largely residential and largely in the Pacific Northwest, though we travel where good clients are. We design for how a house wants to be used over decades, not how it photographs in its first year.

01

Site first

Topography, water, light, prevailing weather. The site decides more than the brief does.

02

Material honesty

Cedar that will silver. Concrete that will mark. Steel that will patina. We build for time.

03

Quiet detail

The work is in the joints, the reveals, the way a door is hung. Detail is restraint, not decoration.

Studio

The people.
