urban custom Residence
Bellingham, Washington

Lead architect for Residential New Construction
Contractor: Owner-Builder
Designed for a compact 3,600 sf corner lot, this highly custom two-story home maximizes space, light, and function. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on the lower level and a private upper-level primary suite that opens to a rooftop garden above the 2-car garage, the layout is both efficient and spacious. Salvaged windows and doors from the owner were thoughtfully incorporated, adding character and sustainability to the design. Total living space: 1,150 sf + 420 sf garage.
"Jennifer showed great enthusiasm for my project, making the design process fun. She demonstrated wide knowledge of building and land use codes. She creatively assisted me in incorporating many salvaged items into my design." —Brandon Cardinal, Homeowner
