Warren Pollock

Warren, a retired architect with more than 100 completed building projects in five countries, has a lifelong interest in art, architecture, and design. His work includes single- and multi-family housing projects, office buildings, commercial structures, retail, and educational buildings. Warren has used models to study and develop his building and furniture designs. "Build a small one before you build a big one.”

He opened his architecture office in Seattle in 1977 and, in 2017, retired from architecture and moved to Bainbridge Island with his wife, Ginger. Since joining BARN, he has designed and built more than 25 projects including tables, chairs, cutting boards, a grandfather clock, work stations for the jewelry studio, and several pieces on commission. He also does large-format drawings with India ink and colored pencil on watercolor paper. His work has been shown at a local gallery and at the Bainbridge Island First Friday Art Walk.
