Welcome Home!

Have you ever heard the saying, “Home is where the heart is”? What about the person who sang the words, “I left my heart in San Francisco”? What does that mean if home is where his heart is? Regardless of the cliché, there is something significant about home. As parents, we always wanted our kids to invite their friends over, to play ball in the yard, explore the woods, enjoy the fire pit and settle in for the night during sleepovers. For us, home is where we tend to gather around the island in the kitchen or on the patio, talking too loudly as we share the happenings of the busy day. What’s better than having all the kids “home” for the holiday, everyone under one roof, playing games well into the evening and reminiscing about what it was like in days past? Author Wendy Wunder said, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”

While the idea of home includes our physical dwelling place, it also encompasses our city and community. Home is where we live, work and raise our family, and our home is exceptional. We feel like the lucky ones as we get to learn more about the businesses, organizations and individuals that comprise this city, and hope the small lens into their lives and work brings people in this community together. As you flip through the pages of this issue, we hope you’ll feel uplifted, encouraged and connected to the people around you — in your city, your neighborhood and, most of all, your home. Every year, we hear from readers who keep this issue for a little longer than just the month labeled on the cover. They say they keep it as a coffee table piece or an accessory in their home. We feel proud to create a resource valued in our community and strive every month to deliver more than you expect. Thanks for letting us be a part of your community, your neighborhood, and your home.

COMMON FORMME

WHERE DESIGN MEETS WELLNESS

Creating beautiful and healthy spaces comes naturally for Emily Ellstrom, who grew up watching her parents design and build homes, giving life to the dreams of their clients.

“My parents met on a job site in the 80s. My dad was a general contractor and my mom was a high-end designer,” shares Emily. “In the mid-2000s, as they were sitting around a table with clients and the various parties who can be involved in a project, they saw the overlap in roles and the miscommunication that comes with having so many people involved. They wanted to streamline the process.”

As a result, Bradley and Tami Cline opened their own firm to bring everything under one umbrella and offer clients a full-service experience. Now Emily carries on their legacy as the owner and creative director of Common Formme, a locally owned boutique design build firm.

“I started helping on the business side of my parents’ company and about six years ago made that full-time leap into the business,” she says. “I was really on more of the operations and marketing sales side of things, but found that it wasn’t filling my creative cup. So, I started taking on more design projects in the last few years and it has been a natural evolution to move into the role of creative director for the company.”

Common Formme projects range from small to large and can include existing dwellings or from-scratch builds that begin with a tract of land. Clients can choose design-only services and work with their own contractors, or streamline the process and have the team work on all aspects of their project from conception to completion.

“...WE’VE GONE THROUGH ALL OF YOUR FURNISHINGS, STYLED YOUR SPACES...AND YOU WALK IN AND GET TO SEE HOW ALL THE PLANNING COMES TO LIFE.”

“It really does have that moment at the end where we’ve gone through all of your furnishings, styled your spaces, and you walk in and get to see how all the planning comes to life,” says Emily.

Incorporating healthy living into each project is important to Emily, and she does this by offering clients products and using building techniques that promote a healthy environment, from airtight construction to the use of natural fibers and materials.

“It’s a foundational approach to build healthy from the ground up and then bring in all of those layers that affect your environment in different ways. To us, it means a water and airtight structure to avoid any mold and mildew that can intrude into your home and silently wreak havoc on your health and environment without you knowing it. It’s also lighting that is conducive to your circadian rhythm, low volatile organic compounds (VOC) paints, and insulation that doesn’t have harmful chemicals in it.”

This approach includes educating clients on using naturally certified wood, upholstery that has natural wool and cotton fills or natural latex fills, and being aware of potential toxins being introduced into the home. “I love that I’m able to share my own holistic way of living with clients and show how they can make small changes in their home to ensure that they are creating this beautiful and also healthy environment. It’s really woven into the ethos of everything we do, and I love that I can bridge those worlds.”

A relatively new addition to Common Formme’s repertoire includes creating wellness zones for homeowners that include saunas and plunges, another area that reflects Emily’s passion for healthy living. “A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to help design a community bathhouse experience to include sauna and plunge-led classes. As fun as that sounds, I wanted to be able to impact more people’s personal spaces. So, I took the concepts we developed for these bathhouses and have adapted that

into how we design and build homes,” explains Emily. “In Washington, our codes are changing right now and there are much looser regulations around Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs.) It’s really opening up an opportunity for people to create these smaller bespoke spaces on their property, whether it’s a workout space, an office, or a wellness zone.”

Other signature design elements Emily employs are unique to the Pacific Northwest and include use of natural color palettes, stones, and textures to create a collected, lived-in look that reflects the character and lifestyle of her clients.

A great way to get a feel for all that Common Formme has to offer is to stop by the newly completed showroom. “We’ve created the showroom to invite people into this experience and as

you walk through it, it’s meant to feel like a home,” shares Emily. “As you go through a bedroom, living room, sitting room, and office, we want you to see different features that we integrate into our full-service experience. Or, if you live in an apartment or just finished building your home, we offer products at a smaller price point that you can make your space feel unique and special.” The showroom also offers U.S. made natural fiber furniture and collected home accessories, as well as vintage and one-of-akind objects and art, perfect to add a special touch to any home.

To learn more about the company and their offerings, visit commonformme.com , call 206-285-6560, or stop by the Common Formme showroom located at 108 5th Ave South in Edmonds. You can also follow Common Formme on Instagram and Pinterest.

How John Buchan Homes Creates Custom Residences That Perform Quietly Every Day

ARTICLE BY SUSIE NAFICY

You have spent your career designing systems that are elegant under pressure. You value clarity, reliability, and solutions that disappear into the background because they work exactly as intended. A strategically designed home can deliver that same effect. When done well, it amplifies your energy, simplifies daily routines, and turns ordinary moments into seamless experiences.

This philosophy sits at the center of the work of John Buchan Homes. Their residences are conceived as integrated systems rather than collections of features, with the goal of making everyday life feel lighter, calmer, and more intuitive.

A truly custom home should operate the way your best products do. It should support momentum, create ease, and enhance how you live without asking for attention. Visual drama is not the objective. The objective is a living environment that strengthens focus, privacy, hosting, and recovery through intentional design.

Think of a custom home as an operating system. When the architecture is sound and the infrastructure is thoughtfully planned, everything else runs smoothly.

“Luxury is not about more options. It is about fewer points of friction.”

BEGIN WITH INTENT, NOT INSPIRATION

In high performing organizations, strategy comes before design. The same principle applies to building a home.

Before materials are selected or renderings are reviewed, the most important work is defining what success looks like. The most effective custom homes begin with a clear articulation of outcomes. This front loaded clarity is central to the John Buchan Homes process, where planning decisions are guided by daily performance rather than surface appeal.

That means understanding how your household truly functions from day to day. It means identifying where privacy matters, how movement flows, and how spaces support both independence and connection. It means designing for a Tuesday morning as deliberately as a Saturday evening.

Consider how you spend most days. Are you working in long, focused blocks? Are you hosting frequently, both socially and professionally? Are you coordinating complex family schedules? Each answer shapes the architecture.

Capturing these priorities in a concise home specification creates alignment across the entire project. It becomes a decision framework that keeps the design clear, disciplined, and intentional.

DESIGN FOR HOW LIFE ACTUALLY UNFOLDS

Many luxury homes are designed to be admired. The best homes are designed to be lived in.

A more effective approach is to organize the residence around distinct modes of living that repeat every week.

Mornings benefit from efficiency. A thoughtfully planned home supports momentum with intuitive paths from garage to entry to drop zone. Storage lives where items naturally land. Breakfast and coffee routines feel calm, organized, and unrushed.

Work thrives on focus. A true home office is shaped by acoustic separation, controlled lighting, clean air, and intentional circulation. The rest of the home can remain active while work stays uninterrupted.

Hosting should feel natural. Public spaces are legible and welcoming. Kitchens encourage conversation as much as cooking. Secondary prep areas keep the experience polished. Outdoor living performs across seasons, not just peak summer months.

Evenings and weekends invite recovery. Bedrooms function as quiet environments with consistent temperature and lighting control. Wellness features are integrated for durability and simplicity. Spaces encourage decompression rather than accumulation.

“A well designed home does not feel larger. It feels clearer.”

THE LUXURIES YOU NOTICE EVERY DAY

What defines a premium home is rarely what draws attention first. It is what you experience over time.

Quiet is shaped through window performance, wall assemblies, zoning, and mechanical planning. Air quality is supported through balanced ventilation, filtration, and humidity control. Thermal comfort comes from real zoning and thoughtful glazing placement. Lighting is layered and programmable to support both circadian rhythm and hospitality.

Most importantly, these systems perform consistently. Whether you are home or traveling, the house responds the same way every day. This reliability is a hallmark of homes built by John Buchan Homes, where durability and predictability are treated as essential design outcomes. If there is one place where investment compounds, it is comfort and durability. These are not upgrades. They are the foundation of a home that supports long term wellbeing.

SIMPLIFY DECISIONS THROUGH INTELLIGENT DEFAULTS

One of the most overlooked challenges of custom building is decision fatigue. When every element is treated as a unique choice, progress slows and clarity erodes.

High performing projects rely on defaults.

A core material palette creates cohesion. Standardized trim profiles, door styles, and hardware reduce visual noise. Approved options for variable elements streamline decisions while preserving character.

This approach protects personalization. It reserves attention for moments that matter most. The arrival sequence. The view. The kitchen experience. The primary suite. The systems behind the walls.

BUILD FOR LONGEVITY, NOT NOVELTY

Technology evolves quickly. Infrastructure should endure.

The most successful homes are designed to adapt gracefully. Structured wiring, accessible technology zones, and serviceable pathways allow for future upgrades without disruption. Power planning anticipates electric vehicles, increased loads, and resilient backup strategies. Network design assumes constant connectivity and remote work as a permanent condition.

The objective is flexibility. A home should evolve smoothly over time.

BELLEVUE LIVING, REFINED

Luxury in Bellevue is inherently understated. It values privacy, efficiency, and calm.

Privacy begins with architecture and landscape working together. Sightlines are considered. Entries feel welcoming yet discreet. Deliveries and packages are handled without overtaking the front door.

Daily flow matters. Homes that perform well here make demanding weeks easier. Garage to kitchen paths stay protected from weather. Drop zones absorb real life gear. Kitchens prioritize ventilation, storage density, and ease of maintenance.

The strongest Bellevue homes embrace quiet luxury. Acoustic control softens the environment. Comfort systems deliver consistency. Materials are selected for longevity because ease matters more than attention.

Hosting often blends professional and personal life. Homes designed for this allow the main level to scale effortlessly. Secondary prep spaces preserve calm. Indoor and outdoor living connect naturally throughout the year.

“True luxury is the ability to retreat completely, even in the middle of the city.”

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BUILDER

A home designed at this level requires more than craftsmanship. It demands systems thinking, disciplined process, and an understanding of how decisions compound over time.

John Buchan Homes approaches building with this exact mindset. Their work translates complex lifestyles into homes that perform quietly and reliably, supporting the way clients actually live rather than how spaces are meant to be perceived.

The result is not a house that impresses once. It is a home that quietly elevates daily life.

THE QUIET PAYOFF

A custom home that truly fits your life is defined by how smoothly your days unfold.

When architecture, infrastructure, and intention work together, the home recedes into the background. What remains is focus, calm, and the satisfaction of a life made easier through thoughtful design.

Architecture with Intention

Inside AVI Design Studio’s rapid rise and its approach to shaping spaces for life, work, and everything in between

ARTICLE BY TAYLOR ROBINSON

Architecture is often judged by what we see clean lines, thoughtful materials, a sense of balance. But at AVI Design Studio, architecture begins long before form takes shape. It starts with understanding how people live, how businesses function, and how space quietly influences daily behavior. Founded as a natural evolution of more than two decades spent across real estate, development, construction, and design, AVI Design Studio approaches architecture not as a single discipline, but as an integrated system.

Rather than emerging from a singular moment of inspiration, the studio was built through experience. Years spent viewing projects from multiple vantage points homeowner, builder, investor, and community shaped a practice grounded in clarity and foresight. From the outset, AVI was designed with intention. Over the past two years, that original vision has not shifted; instead, it has sharpened. Processes have been refined, tools evaluated, and services strengthened through real world data and continuous review, all while preserving the studio’s foundational philosophy.

Early growth followed a similar mindset. Momentum did not come from chance, but from preparation. Prior to launching, the studio established longterm financial, operational, and creative goals, pairing ambition with discipline. AVI invested early in building a strong, multidisciplinary team and organizing the studio around clearly defined systems. Architecture, interiors, purchasing, marketing, finance, and consulting operate as interconnected departments, allowing projects to move fluidly from concept

through completion. Every repeated process is documented, measured, and improved an approach that reduces friction, supports creativity, and enables the studio to scale responsibly across both residential and commercial work.

At the core of AVI’s work is a belief that space shapes people. In residential projects, the studio studies daily rituals, family dynamics, and personal habits, designing homes that support connection, growth, and balance. Layouts are informed by how spaces are actually used, not just how they appear. In commercial environments, the lens expands to include business logic, customer behavior, brand identity, and longterm performance. While the context may differ, the intention remains consistent. Design is never decoration alone; it is a strategic tool that influences lifestyle, experience, and outcomes.

Scaling a creative studio presents its own challenges.

For AVI, the most defining has been building systems that allow creative people to thrive. Growth requires structure, but creativity demands freedom and striking the balance between the two is essential. The studio focused on establishing clear processes, timelines, and expectations while preserving room for exploration and innovation.

This balance now shapes everything from internal collaboration to client communication, creating an experience that feels both thoughtful and seamless.

Clients benefit from this clarity at every stage. Transparent workflows, consistent communication, and a deeply integrated team allow projects to progress with confidence. Rather than reacting to challenges as they arise, AVI’s systems anticipate them, creating space for better decision making and stronger outcomes. The result is architecture that feels intentional, cohesive, and enduring.

Looking ahead, AVI Design Studio is focused on growth with purpose. Expansion is guided not by visibility alone, but by impact. Over the next several years, the studio plans to establish a presence in key U.S. markets while maintaining a strong connection to the communities it serves. Each project is approached with an understanding of its broader context how it contributes to the neighborhood, how it will be used over time, and how it can positively shape the lives of those who inhabit it.

For clients, this evolution means deeper insight, elevated service, and design rooted in understanding rather than trend. For communities, it means architecture that endures spaces designed not just to be seen, but to be lived in, gathered within, and grown into over time.

At Decorus Home Staging, design is never decorative — it’s strategic. Through curated interiors, in-house art production, and white-glove execution, we position luxury homes to stand out, reduce buyer hesitation, and support confident decision-making. Our Luxury Reserve install at Vintage 07, in partnership with Murray Franklyn Homes, went pending in just 22 days — fully optimized within our 60-day contract term with no renewals required.

GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE

ARTICLE BY AMBER DAWN SCHULTHEIS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAWNING MEMORIES

If you’re a lover of pickley, briny snacks, this tapenade is the perfect addition to your next cheese board. Unlike many olive dips and spreads, this recipe calls for vibrant, green castelvetrano olives keeping it bright and inviting to the eye. Use this as a dip for veggies, crackers, and pita bread or spread onto a turkey sandwich for a bright pop of flavor that will take the boring out of any bite. It’s a guest-friendly recipe - naturally vegan and gluten-free - for anyone to enjoy. Trust the addition of citrus here. You won’t be sorry!

GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE RECIPE SERVES 6-8

Ingredients

• 3 cups pitted Castelvetrano olives

• ¼–½ cup high-quality olive oil, such as Orange Fused Olive Oil from A Bit of Taste – Snohomish Olive Oil Company

• ¼ cup capers

• 2 cloves garlic

• ⅛ cup fresh orange juice

• 2 teaspoons orange zest

• ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)

Kitchen Tools

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Zester or microplane

• Food processor or blender

• Rubber spatula

• Serving bowl

Instructions

1. Add the olives, capers, and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse until roughly chopped into a coarse mixture.

2. Wash and dry the orange. Using a zester or microplane, remove only the outermost orange layer of the peel until you have about 2 teaspoons of zest.

3. Add the olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, and red chili pepper flakes (if using) to the food processor. Pulse a few more times, just until the mixture is well incorporated but still slightly textured.

4. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve at room temperature alongside your favorite crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

• It’s normal for the oil to separate slightly from the olive mixture. Stir before serving to re-incorporate.

• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!

MID-CENTURY WARMTH, REIMAGINED

There’s a certain moment when a house stops feeling new and starts feeling like home. It isn’t marked by square footage or finishes alone. It is something quieter, more emotional. In this home, designer Kate Manz set out to do exactly that: give a newly built home a heartbeat and a soul.

Rather than treating the house as one sweeping statement, she approached each room as its own story, layered with meaning, memory, and texture. The result is a home that feels collected, personal, and deeply lived-in.

“Tackling each space and room as its own story and concept is how to make a new space feel personal,” Manz explains. “But bringing it all together cohesively is always the challenge.”

Her solution? Warmth, intention, and a strong belief in the power of people. In new builds it can take years for a home to shed its newness. For this project, the goal was to fast-track that sense of belonging by layering in pieces with history and heart. Vintage market finds, local artists, and meaningful objects play a starring role throughout the home.

“My love for design goes hand in hand with the people and stories that bring it to life,” she says. “I absolutely love seeing the evolution from concept to completion and all the elements and people that help bring those ideas to reality.”

That philosophy becomes especially important in the home’s expansive open-concept living area, where scale could easily overpower intimacy.

ENTRYWAY: A WARM WELCOME

The entryway sets the tone with a simple but powerful goal: Welcome to my home.

Natural stone underfoot grounds the space, while a soft vintage rug and living greenery immediately soften the experience. Art with personal meaning invites guests to linger rather than rush through.

THE OPEN CONCEPT, REIMAGINED

The main living space is defined by bringing the outside in with sweeping outdoor views and generous proportions. Rather than fighting that openness, embrace it.

“The big open concept room really highlights the expansive outdoor views,” she says, “but making intimate spaces within that open room was really important.”

A layered niche wall, created in collaboration with the interior architect Nick Flower, brings both structure and softness to the room. It introduces texture, depth, and a place for unique objects and family heirlooms to live, turning negative space into a personal gallery.

POWDER BATH: SMALL ROOM, BOLD SPIRIT

If there’s one place Manz encourages clients to take risks, it’s the powder room. Here, she leaned into terracotta earth tones, layering textures and tile sizes for visual interest and warmth. Patterned and solid tiles work together, while textured wall coverings and a sculptural stone sink elevate the space from functional to delightful.

LOUNGE: A STUDY IN CALM AND DEPTH

Designed as a counterpoint to the openness of the main living area, the lounge is a cocoon, both peaceful, layered, and deeply versatile. It’s a place for reading, movie nights and slow mornings.

Rich tones and varied textures do the heavy lifting here, creating depth without heaviness. Soft lighting and custom upholstery make the room feel both intentional and effortless.

At its core, this home is a reminder that design isn’t about perfection, but rather it’s about feeling. By treating each room as its own narrative while weaving in warmth, history, and human connection, a space was created that already feels loved.

“My love for design goes hand in hand with the people and stories that bring it to life.”
