One of my favorite parts of 2019…In the beginning of the year, we found a bunch of grungy and huge beams salvaged from an old port building. We cleaned them up, milled them up and then used them all on one project. All of the natural doug fir that you see in these photos came from one of those beams.

Site visit Saturday…..Zapapizza! Opening this week! I had the pleasure of working again with restaurateur Nick Zukin on transforming an historic space on the corner of West Burnside and NW 5th Ave into a pizzaria inspired by and honoring the mexican community that he loves so much.
I snapped a few pics while they were busy prepping for the opening. 5 NW 5th Avenue.

Open For Business and cruising along! Gossip in the Grain Tap Room. If you are near 162nd and 4th Plain in Vancouver Washington, they have tons of interesting beverages on tap! I want to thank to the owners for providing such a fun project to design, Mike Anderson for putting it together, and Aurora Mills for providing all of the salvaged wood to play with.

There is a flurry of activity in there, so you’ll have to excuse the mess.. ;)
The seismic upgrade has been conquered and they are building out the inside now.
