Satsop School Gymnasium

Elma, WA


The Satsop School, a historic one-room schoolhouse with over a century of educational legacy, has been thoughtfully expanded to meet modern needs while honoring its past. The addition of a new gymnasium introduces contemporary design elements alongside traditional architecture, creating a seamless connection between history and innovation. Wood plays a central role in the expansion, offering structural integrity and a warm, natural aesthetic that complements the original building. This project exemplifies how timber construction can bridge generations, delivering functionality and beauty in a space designed for learning and community.
