Studio Context

Rooted in the Pacific Northwest since 2011.

Founded in the heart of Seattle, Ochre Spatial Practice focuses on the intersection of historic preservation and modern, minimalist intervention. Our core specialization lies in adaptive reuse projects that respect the original structural narrative while introducing contemporary functionality.

A critical component of our methodology is the rigorous BIM-driven energy modeling phase we mandate before schematic design concludes. By analyzing thermal bridging and solar heat gain early, we ensure passive systems are optimized long before ground is broken.

85% of our completed projects achieve LEED Gold certification or higher, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable urbanization.

Currently serving discerning clients across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.

Practice Areas & Methodology

A disciplined approach to varied scales of habitation.

Breathing new life into civic heritage.

We navigate complex zoning and historic preservation guidelines to transform obsolete structures into vibrant, functional spaces. This approach minimizes embodied carbon while preserving the cultural fabric of our cities.

  • Preservation of cultural memory
  • Significant reduction in embodied carbon
  • Navigating complex municipal variances

Off-grid capable, deeply personal sanctuaries.

Our residential practice is defined by a pursuit of quietude and environmental stewardship. We design homes that sit lightly on the land, utilizing passive heating, cross-ventilation, and hyper-local materials.

  • Reduced lifetime operational costs
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor thresholds
  • Non-toxic, biophilic material palettes

A framework for clarity.

Ambiguity is the enemy of good design. Our linear process ensures alignment at every critical juncture.

  1. 01. Contextual Audit: Deep site analysis, environmental surveys, and programmatic alignment.
  2. 02. BIM Integration & Synthesis: Form generation coupled with our mandatory energy modeling phase.
  3. 03. Tectonic Resolution: Exacting construction documentation and rigorous on-site administrative oversight.
