Bill and Cassie Swanson came to me
looking to downsize and become more energy efficient. The lot was
fairly flat and had numerous great majestic oak trees.
The design concept was to focus the house around the main living area; great room, kitchen, dining, yet reduce the amount of wasted hallways, all in one-storey.
The rest of the house is composed of wings that link to the main living area. The great room has high ceilings and utilizes an operable thermal chimney over the dining table. The kitchen has a really great round butcher block cutting surface slightly raised from the island's eating area.
The Swanson Residence was chosen to be on the 2009 AIA Home Tour in October of 2009.

"I have worked with Elliot for over 15 years and I have built over 38 of Elliot's home designs. He has always produced what I or my clients have requested with creative and livable designs in a timely manner.
Many of the projects have had challenging build sites and Elliot is very good at designing interesting and efficient designs that work with the site.
I will continue to use Elliot for my personal and spec home projects and recommend him to anyone looking for an architect."
