Pegasus School

As is the case for most private schools, Design Northwest was presented with a limited construction budget for the building. With our use of standard methods and construction materials we were not only able to meet the budgetary constraints, but also design an earth sheltered passive solar building meeting educational building codes. The school, located in Puget Sound, operated into the early 1990’s.
