• Location: Bellingham, WA

This clinic was designed long-distance. Dr. Amy Tu had decided to relocate her practice from mid-town Manhattan, New York, to Bellingham, Washington. Over the course of a long weekend she worked onsite with Zervas to arrive at a floor plan, and over the ensuing weeks email and overnight delivery was used extensively for material and finish selections. Zervas oversaw the bidding and contractor selection, and worked closely with the contractor throughout construction. Dr. Tu was onsite only once during construction. She spent less than a week closing down her New York practice and opening this one.

Located in the popular Bellwether Building on Bellingham’s waterfront, the waiting room, nurse’s station, exam and procedure rooms are oriented to the building’s interior corridors. The staff room and two doctor’s offices are on the building perimeter, with commanding views over the adjacent harbor.
