Gelotte Hommas Architecture Blog

This week started off with a bang as one of our projects broke ground. Although it was raining here in Seattle on Monday, turns out rain is the perfect forecast for demolition (with all the dust and what not from the demo.) The process of designing your dream home can take awhile, but when you [...]

Remodel’s have been popular on the blog lately, so we thought we would post about another one of our remodel projects that wrapped up not too long ago. Meet our Rustic Remodel. The home owners wanted to capture the “Northwest Rustic” charm of the property in the remodel of their home. This project is a gem. [...]

Our underway project Deliberate Demense is about to break ground on the water in Medina. This project is a 7,400 square foot new construction home. It has a flexible, open floor plan designed for entertaining including a light filled kitchen and great room with open views to Meydenbauer Bay. The style is a contemporary rendition of [...]

Re-purposing materials for another use is a part of our architectural practice with our projects, but it doesn’t stop there. When we moved into our current office building four years ago we gained an extra conference room. A bigger conference room, which of course needed a bigger conference room table. The current table that we [...]

Happy Friday everyone! Here in Seattle it has successfully rained and shined today with more of the same  forecasted this weekend. Considering that Seattle weather is known for being a little less than fun (in general) I thought we could kick on a Friday Fun series. From now on, we will be posting something fun about architecture or [...]

Last month we shared that one of our projects Classic On The Green was going to be featured in the April Issue of Luxe Magazine. We received our copy of Luxe this week, and we wanted to share. The home has been internally re-designed by interior designer Steven Hensel. For those of you who don’t [...]

Pinterest is another social networking site that is similar to Houzz in that you post or “pin” images. The difference with Pinterest is that you organize your “pins” on boards instead of in idea books. You can search through all sorts of topics from #architecture to #fashion, #weddings and #pets and everything in between. Once [...]
