Seabeck Pizza Parlor, Bremerton, WA

This is a light-duty commercial project that TCA helped frame. The building was primarily constructed of dimensional lumber with a trussed roof (the tallest section made from LVL and TJI components) and supported by two large glue lams. The tall section of the building consists of a 20' wall raking down at a 3 in 12 pitch over the main dining area.

These photos highlight decorative beams over the dining area that were installed after the main body of framing had been completed. They are intended to appear to continue outside of the building and support the 4' overhang shown here.

Doug-Fir Slated Fence
























This fence was constructed around a "big toy" on the Northwest side of Tacoma. Concrete pads and footings were poured to support the fence against winds that can sometimes blow through the area. The top of the fence was finished with 2x6 and rough sawn cedar.

Fireplace Trim Detail




The top portion of this trim detail was created to match a similar dental detail elsewhere in this North End craftsman style home.
