BINGEN — Let’s face it. We live in, and travel to, the Gorge for one reason: To enjoy the great outdoors. Whether it’s kite boarding, wind surfing, skiing, biking, kayaking, hiking or just plain relaxing, we want to be outside.

And when we can’t be outside, Glen Pritchard and his crew at Studio CBC have mastered the art of bringing the outdoors inside with their design and installation of unique window and door systems. In fact, the Bingen based company recently was awarded a prestigious first place award in a national design contest for their large folding door system installed at the Society Hotel Spa.
