Aperture Workshop:

Based in Tacoma, WA. Licensed: WA, AZ

A good house (a good anything) is the result of consistently good decision-making at all scales.

I founded Aperture Workshop as a full-service residential architecture practice to collaborate with clients on homes that are:

Healthy: optimizing for air quality and thermal comfort; Passive House principles are baked into my process.

Humble: respecting function, material, and craft.

Graceful: finding elegance through attention to proportion, scale, natural light, and material presence.

We’re not doing this to take an early photo; it matters how your home will age and what it will take to maintain it. Most of the important things you can’t even see. How is the air, how is the texture, how is the temperature?

Looking forward to meeting you,

Ben McDonald
