Architecture for the Puget Sound
Comprehensive Design Services from Seattle to the South Sound
“If I could give 10 stars, I would.”
New Construction & Site Acquisition
Considering a complex lot or purchasing land? We assess the property before design begins to confirm feasibility, view corridors, and budget alignment. Essential for waterfront and steep slope sites.
Don't buy the land until you know the potential.
The Foundation: Feasibility & Needs Analysis
Success starts with a roadmap, not a guess. Most project delays and budget overruns happen because the research wasn't done upfront. Whether you are building on a steep slope in Gig Harbor or navigating a complex lot in Seattle, you need to know what is possible before you invest in blueprints.
We clarify the complex early on:
Site Feasibility: We analyze your land to determine exactly what can be built, identifying critical areas or topography challenges.
Zoning & Code Strategy: We navigate the regulatory environments of King and Pierce Counties so you don't face surprises later.
Budget Alignment: We help match your wish list to your investment reality before the design phase begins.
Whole Home Transformations
Love your location but outgrown the house? We analyze the existing structure and zoning limits to determine if a renovation or a teardown is the smarter investment.
Understand the constraints before you demo.

Architecture: the art of living
Imagine yourself in a space that sparks wonder, inspires you, and brings calm into your life. How would life be different for you in that environment?
We don’t just design houses; we choreograph how you live. From the way the morning light hits your kitchen island to the flow of a dinner party, every detail is intentional. We combine high-end design sensibilities with rigorous technical documentation to ensure your vision survives the construction process.
Custom Home Design: tailored to your specific site, whether it’s a waterfront property or an urban infill.
Holistic Integration: merging structure, landscape, and interiors into one seamless experience.
Regulatory Navigation: We handle the permitting process, advocating for your design with local building departments.
“Andrew, you are a really fine designer of living spaces.”
Interior design: down to the doorstops
Architecture doesn’t end at the exterior walls. A truly custom home feels cohesive because the architecture and interiors speak the same language. We eliminate the disconnect between "the shell" and "the finish" by designing them together.
Integrated Interiors: Kitchens, baths, and built-ins designed architecturally, not just decorated.
Material Selection: Curating finishes that are beautiful, durable, and regionally appropriate.
Lighting Design: Sculpting natural and artificial light to elevate the mood of every room.
Enjoy a personalized environment that stands the test of time and trends.
Visualization: see it before you build it
Uncertainty is expensive. 3D visualization is the antidote. We build your entire project in a virtual environment—set on your actual terrain with real-world sun angles—before a single hammer swings.
Sun & Shadow Studies: See exactly how the light will look in your living room at 8:00 AM on your anniversary.
Virtual Walkthroughs: Explore your future home on your own computer, giving you the confidence to make decisions early.
Construction Observation: Your Advocate
We stay with you until the keys are in your hand. Even the best plans encounter surprises on site. We act as your advocate during construction, answering builder questions and ensuring the reality matches the vision.
Site Meetings: Regular check-ins to resolve issues quickly.
Quality Control: Verifying that materials and details are installed as designed.
Builder Collaboration: We view the contractor as a partner, fostering a collaborative environment to get the best result.
“I’d be a drowning man sinking slowly into the deep, were you not there as my giant life preserver.”
