Pippo LLC.

The services Pippo lists run from the front end of a project to the build: residential and commercial design, visualization of the finished space, energy modeling, sourcing of materials, and coordinating and managing construction. The company says it is an extension of MRT design and describes itself as family-owned. The state lists Bill Yen as a principal since 2025, the year the business was formed, and the crew is one to three people, with the owner working on the jobs directly. That mix suits a homeowner planning a new home or a deep retrofit who wants energy performance worked out before framing starts, or who needs a passive house consultation or energy audit on an existing house. Spokane's cold winters and hot, dry summers make airtightness, insulation and ventilation choices count, and a passive house approach treats them as one design problem rather than separate upgrades. For a small fix, a leaking window or a single room of insulation, the job is usually quick and a trade specialist can handle it on its own. A larger project, a new build in Mead or Liberty Lake or a whole-house energy retrofit in an older Spokane neighborhood, is different: design, modeling, material sourcing and several trades all have to line up, and decisions made early are expensive to undo later. That's where hiring someone who handles both the design and the construction coordination makes the most sense, ideally before the drawings are final.
