The aged structures found in the hills and valleys of the rural world at large – relics from a bygone era – are what drive the design of Methow Valley architect, Doug Potter.

The sole proprietor of 'The Office of Shackitecture', Doug has been designing and building homes for over 40 years. His designs are reflections of the experiences and obstacles that life has thrown him, both the good and the bad.

To Doug, a home is much more than just four walls; it's a place you would rather be than anywhere else in the world.
