How do you live or work? What is the most important thing about your site to YOU? These are the primary questions that drive each project. I want to hear the details of how the kitchen should work or where the dog is going to sleep, or which tree needs to stay. Paying attention to these questions and valuing the answers I’m given, I work hand in hand with clients to create spaces that are unique to their needs and lifestyle. Part of my job is being a steward of your time and money and I take this responsibility seriously. Successful projects require open collaboration and trust. My projects lean toward the contemporary and feature clean lines and thoughtful detailing. It is also my strong belief the design should endure by means of durable materials, but also by transcending current style or trends.

We were impressed with her knowledge, her strong sense of design and her attention to detail during the initial phase of design. Our existing home is a two story home. She was able to help blend the new addition to the existing home. She listened to us patiently and provided many creative ideas and suggestions to produce a beautiful design. > > What made us love working with Lauren even more is that she is a problem solver who cares about her client's project. These were done with her prompt actions and response. Like all home remodel, we encountered a budget issue. She offered her own time to help us come up with a comparable design that still met our needs. We live in an HOA neighborhood. We gotten approval from the HOA for the new addition, even then we still ran into issue with our neighbor. Lauren immediately responded to our frantic email on Friday night and offered alternative solutions. This was awesome! Imagine yourself having to fret over the weekend about a major issue feeling helpless not knowing if anything could be done. When we got a email response from her that same Friday evening responding to our email saying she will help come up with a solution; we felt much at ease over the weekend. This emergency situation without a doubt proved to us we picked the perfect architect. > > Lauren never showed signs of frustration and had great patience when we tried to explain what design we had in our mind. Likewise, Lauren's calm demeanor in explaining construction blueprints made it easy for us to ask her questions without feeling dumb. During the construction phase of the project, Lauren would promptly provide feedback or answers to our contractor and designer's questions. > > We are extremely grateful that Lauren is part of the team that helped us reach the end goal. **★★★★★ — Jill Wise, Dec. 2017** > We hired Lauren to design a guest house and remodel our main house. Her design, creativity and attention to detail surpassed all expectations! Lauren also listened to our concerns and suggestions and help guide us through the process. Our contractor was impressed with the plans and specifications. Everything worked! We could not be more pleased and highly recommend Lauren Crocco. **★★★★★ — Katy Reed, Nov. 2017** > We hired Lauren earlier this year to basically redesign our entire home and have been super impressed with the quality of her work, her attention to detail, and her ability to hone in on our particular aesthetic. The whole process to date has been seamless and we are already in love with the new design. Additionally, she has been fantastic about managing the whole process with our contractor, making sure that all of the plan details are accounted for, etc. We would highly recommend her for anyone needing architectural design assistance. **★★★★★ — Kim Mathisen, Nov. 2017** > Lauren is brilliant. 110% recommend. > > My husband I bought a 1970's home in Magnolia (Seattle) a few years back that desperately needs a face lift. Lauren drew up plans for an update to our exterior siding and decking, a 200+ sqft deck addition and a large kitchen renovation. She seamlessly weaved our feedback and wishlist items into a beautiful plan that represented our style and formality level while staying true to our home's original design. We threw several new (and random) ideas at Lauren throughout the process yet she and her team never batted an eye. She and her team also helped us with city permitting diagrams when we needed them at the last minute. > > We could not be happier with the outcome and, more importantly, working with her throughout the process was a joy and something we looked forward to. Lauren gave us an initial estimate on total costs of our partnership and came in within range. She was super timely with email responses and very flexible on meeting times to review plans. Now we are just excited to build it! > > Hire her! You won't regret it. **★★★★★ — Harmony Weihs, Nov. 2017** > Finding a great architect can be challenging as we have worked with many being a local design firm. Lauren by far surpasses any other architect we have worked with on every level. Lauren is professional while being personal. She is creative while thinking about the end product and how it functions for her clients. > > Our favorite thing about working with Lauren is that she is extremely collaborative which makes projects not only more fun but creates a much better end product. We always enjoy working with her and can't wait for more future projects together. We highly recommend her! **Comment from Lauren Crocco A&D:** > Thank you for the kind words Harmony! I look forward to future collaborations with you and your team. Working with a great team of people makes my job fun! I'm lucky to have met you and Kate. **★★★★★ — Andy Palmer, Feb. 2017** > I highly recommend working with Lauren. She was thoughtful in her design work, and did a great job of listening to our vision. She was able to translate that vision onto paper in the first round of concepts. She walked us through tradeoff decisions, and was able to find creative solutions to fit in all the requirements we had in our house design. We're now in process of building our dream home - thanks to her hard work on the design. We've really enjoyed working with her, and would hire her again. **Comment from Lauren Crocco A&D:** > Thank you Andy! I'm looking forward to seeing your home take shape this summer. I've really enjoyed working with you and Liz to develop your project and make it a reality. Now we just need that permit!! **★★★★★ — Billy Sanchez, Nov. 2016** > Lauren was amazing to work with! In selecting an architect for our kitchen addition Lauren was both competitive and very responsive. When we hired Lauren it really came down to her personality and understanding of our style and vision. I've been in the construction industry for over 10 years and Lauren's attention to detail and commitment to your satisfaction is unmatched. > > Lauren is very flexible with her hours and would even come over for a meeting after our newborn was in bed. She catered to our needs and was very accommodating. **Comment from Lauren Crocco A&D:** > This review absolutely made my day. Thank you Billy and Megan. It really was my pleasure working with you. You were brave to remodel your kitchen with a new baby- but now it's beautiful and these pictures couldn't be sweeter! **★★★★★ — Marla Williams, Oct. 2016** > Lauren Crocco is extremely gifted at her craft and has been a true pleasure to work with. She asks all the right questions and listens thoroughly so she does it right the first time. We had virtually no re-work only fine-tuning. I found her to be very intuitive with a very strong sense of design allowing her to gracefully lead us through the design of our custom home in the San Juan Islands. We own a piece of land that had many challenges to overcome but because Lauren has the ability to think outside the box, she came up with perfect solutions for every obstacle we faced. She created the perfect design that fit our lifestyle and was perfect for the property. > > Lauren not only designed the perfect home but also met her design fee budget. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to develop the right house plans to match their property, budget and lifestyle! **★★★★★ — Lewis Construction Group, Sept. 2016** > My wife & I hired Lauren in 2013 to help us design our 1500 square foot addition to our existing home; including a new front entry, master suite, closet & bath, nursery and downstairs bedroom. She worked very closely with us to truly understand our vision and design style and how to maximize the space. She understood how to arrange each room and utilize the square footage to best fit our needs and desires. Lauren is very knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, personable and easy to work with. She has great vision and the outcome was even better than we imagined. We truly enjoyed working with her and would hire her again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Annie Fisher, Sept. 2016** > Lauren helped bring our dream of opening a small business to life. Through the consultation process, she was able to take our vision of how we wanted the space to look and developed a plan to make sure it turned out exactly as we wanted. Her attention to detail was outstanding. Not only did she designed the layout in such a way that we maximized the space she also helped manage getting the appropriate permits and kept the contractors on track. We were so satisfied that we have referred others to her and look forward to working with her in the future. **Comment from Lauren Crocco A&D:** > Thank you so much Annie! I love coming to visit you in your salon and look forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — Rick Feger, Aug. 2016** > My wife and I hired Lauren in Jan 2015 to architecturally design our modern farmhouse-style home in Louisville, CO. While based in Seattle, Lauren has Colorado ties and thus understood the importance of designing a home that not only would allow us to take advantage of the seasons, but also that fit our family and lifestyle. Lauren worked closely with us in the design process itself, and the city to ensure that our house met all regulatory requirements--which streamlined the permitting process and ultimately construction. She further worked closely with our builder and was readily available to ensure that her/our vision was accurately captured--both from an external/structural standpoint, as well as internal/design perspective. The result of her efforts show in the finished product--which, as it turns out, will be featured in a Denver home/lifestyle magazine in Spring 2017. My wife and I understood at the outset the importance of finding the right architect; we wanted someone that shared our vision, was professional, attentive, and ultimately extremely talented. Lauren exceeded our expectations. Our home is absolutely perfect. **★★★★★ — MB Hribar, Aug. 2016** > We hired Lauren to provide the design for our master bedroom remodel. She did an excellent job! We love our bedroom retreat. It was a challenging space to design with sloped ceilings. Lauren listened to our priorities and gave us exactly what we wanted, but with more beautiful results that I imagined. All that and she helped us stay within budget. We look forward to working with her again. ## Selected projects - [Sandpoint Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sandpoint-addition-pj-vj~6172211) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 10 - [Datewood Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/datewood-kitchen-pj-vj~5533040) - Location: Issaquah, WA - Photos: 8 - [West Seattle Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-seattle-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~4864047) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 15 - Description: Renovation of an existing home including a rear addition. - [Manson Guesthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manson-guesthouse-pj-vj~5615768) - Location: Manson, WA - Photos: 10 - [Pine Forest Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pine-forest-cabin-pj-vj~1972590) - Location: Winthrop, WA - Photos: 4 - Description: completed while employed with Balance Associates - [Louisville Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/louisville-farmhouse-pj-vj~1974936) - Location: Louisville, CO - Photos: 11 - Description: A modern farmhouse designed on an existing foundation for a family of 5 and their 2 dogs. - [Montlake Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montlake-master-suite-pj-vj~1974967) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - [River Bank house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-bank-house-pj-vj~1972585) - Location: Big Sky, MT - Photos: 6 - Description: completed while employed with Balance Associates - [West Seattle Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-seattle-kitchen-pj-vj~1974953) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 6 - [Capitol Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/capitol-hill-pj-vj~1972584) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 5 - Description: completed while employed with Balance Associates - [Greenwood Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwood-remodel-pj-vj~2419456) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 6 - [West Seattle Dormer Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-seattle-dormer-addition-pj-vj~1972589) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 2 - [Crown Hill Kitchen/Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crown-hill-kitchen-bath-pj-vj~2419458) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/lauren-crocco-aandd-pfvwus-pf~1736674980) ## Ideabooks - [Hisatomi](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126091755/list/hisatomi) — 1 idea - [modern farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111880232/list/modern-farmhouse) — 1 idea - [tumble creek](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108469360/list/tumble-creek) — 2 ideas - [Project 1](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79591808/list/project-1) — 13 ideas - [chandler](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/93160104/list/chandler) — 2 ideas - [sheds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88938751/list/sheds) — 15 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73501971/list/wish-list) — 4 ideas [See all 7 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/lcrocco) ## Community Q&A **Q: Couch?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the vibrant red couch!
