Thanks to Cascade Joinery, who did the timber work on our “Cedar Haven” project in Carnation, Wash., for highlighting Gelotte Hommas Architecture in its blog post “It’s in the Details.” The post champions the detailed craftsmanship demonstrated by both Cascade Joinery and Gelotte Hommas in the collaborative home project, built by Hamish Anderson Custom Homes, and sites our firm as producing some of its favorite designs. …
