David illustrates the intimate connection between the house and site and his minimal use of material..

In the second case study, Jon Gentry, AIA, showcases Rambler House that he designed and built with his wife Lydia using local materials and on-site milling of local timber. From capturing views of natural habitat to fine detailing, this course shows the care and passion of building one’s home on a sensitive wildlife site.

AIA Seattle’s 6-part series examines how residential design and practice is ever-evolving across changing circumstances,. What are the precedents shaping design decisions today? And what practices today might present new and innovative possibilities for the future? This year’s Innovation in Housing Design Forum highlights some of the most innovative and inspiring work in this region spanning the past, present, and future of residential practice. 18 presenters discuss how we are transforming the way we design residential structures ranging from tiny DADU’s to larger scale housing hanging over the cliffs of Norway. Addressing the constraints and opportunities of designing in the Pacific Northwest and similar regions, sessions explore: designing for people and place; innovative modes of practice and collaboration; sustainable and equitable decision-making; and new materials and technologies.
