SYNTHESIS
The North Pacific Province draws upon the rich
traditions of Cascadian, Native American, and
ethnic designs, as well as the industrial designs
of lumber mills, fish canneries, and working
waterfronts. In this province, culture does not
dominate nature. Successful design does not
merely repeat historical precedent. It expresses
respect for the place that honors local climate,
topography, vegetation, and building practices.
