The Earthance Studio

Story

We learned this work on our own homes — first.

Masha & Zack started buying small properties in 2019 — first an apartment in Leipzig, then a two-story house in Maple Valley, Washington.

For years we were the client, the project manager, the budget hawk, and sometimes the people swinging the hammer. We learned how a kitchen quote can grow three times in a week, how a beautiful drawing can become an unbuildable one, and how the difference between a good renovation and a great one is almost always somebody paying close attention.

The Earthance Studio is what that attention looks like, brought to other people's homes.

What we believe

  • Restraint is a material.

    The best rooms are usually the quietest ones.

  • The budget is part of the design.

    Real constraints sharpen a project — they don't shrink it.

  • Drawings have to be buildable.

    Every assumption a contractor makes ends up on your invoice.

  • Old buildings ask for an older kind of care.

    We learn what's already there before we add to it.

Now — taking on clients.

After years on our own projects, we are opening our practice to a small group of homeowners. We work best with people renovating a home they intend to live in for a long time — or returning to an old place that deserves another life.
