Anima Architects is a collaborative Architecture and Interior Design firm located in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to creating impactful residential and commercial spaces that are simultaneously functional, beautiful, and timeless. The spaces we create strive to be respectful of the natural environment as a whole while being responsive to the specific site and climate in which each project is integrated. Architecturally, we seek an honest expression of building systems and materials and we look for opportunities to provide visual and experiential connections that are enhanced by the integration of natural daylight and ventilation.  We partner with professionals and craftsman who share our values, and we understand that a successful project requires collaboration and a willingness to listen and learn from each other. Ultimately, it is our greatest desire that the environments we create together bring a sense of joy, reflection, and belonging to you, and your family and friends.

**★★★★★ — Life Design Build, April 2026**

> Anima Architects, led by Josh Meharry, stands out as one of Seattle’s top firms for residential design. Over more than two decades of collaborating with Josh, I’ve consistently been impressed by how attentively he engages with clients—truly listening and understanding their priorities, preferences, and values. His approach results in homes that feel highly personalized, environmentally sensitive, and beautifully refined. The work is both thoughtful and striking. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

**★★★★★ — Matthew Berry, Jan. 2023**

> My wife and I started working with Josh to design a full second story addition to our home. Josh was fantastic to work with and incredibly timely in responding or setting up meetings! We felt like he genuinely listened to our wants and needs while also providing helpful context and examples when they arose. Josh's designs were stunning both from an exterior and interior perspective. We decided to put our remodel/addition on hold given a lot of uncertainty in the economy and our careers, it didn't seem wise to overextend ourselves at this time but we will absolutely be using Josh again once we feel more comfortable financially. We couldn't recommend Josh more!
