Conard Romano Architects has distinguished itself for excellence in architectural design since 2002.  Our core strengths lie in three areas: Design; Close, personal collaboration with our clients and the project team; and Technical expertise to support a predictable and well-executed construction phase.  

Our practice focuses on finely crafted custom buildings for discerning clients.  While the majority of our work is in the Puget Sound Region, we have welcomed the opportunity to work with clients in other areas including New England, the United Kingdom and Australia.  Our projects span a range of Architectural styles with a balance of innovation and tradition informing our work.  Whether modern or traditional, the aesthetics of each project derive from our dialog with our clients, the intrinsic characteristics of the site, and from our careful consideration of scale, proportion and detail.

Our design process begins with listening.  We believe that understanding our client’s goals and aspirations, including aesthetic intentions and practical needs, is essential to every project.  From this foundation, we engage in a comprehensive study of the natural site, landscape, and context.  We guide our clients through a creative exploration of design options that allows them to make informed choices as to how they inhabit their land.  As the design evolves we explore the connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, views and privacy, and daylighting strategies, as well as innovative choices about materials, sustainability, and building systems.

Feel free to reach out to us, we would love to hear from you!

**★★★★★ — billandlin59, July 2016**

> We have engaged Conard Romano on three recent residential projects. Their team has the highest integrity of architects who listen to your needs, and dreams, develop a range of concepts (until it resonates with you), and also make certain that you can achieve them. We have found them sensitive to the site situation, know 100% of zoning codes to avoid costly mistakes , and garner respect in the building industry. Conard Romano is your advocate when dealing with unanticipated challenges, and they add their creativity to making the outcomes even better than you could imagine. Quality, a wide range of styles that evolve with each client, and a integrity that cannot be matched in residential architectural would best describe their practice of architecture.

**★★★★★ — Hyde Evans Design, Nov. 2013**

> My name in Barbara Hyde Evans.  I'm an interior designer in Seattle that has worked with Conard Romano Architects on a couple projects.  I've worked with both Jeff Adberg and Jim Romano.  Conard Roman is one of the top firms in Seattle and has been for a long time.  They are very professional, very creative and excellent to work with.  They work well with their clients, no big egos that get in the way.  And, their work is always top of the line.  Beautiful, whether it is contemporary or traditional or somewhere in-between.  They know what they are doing and they do it perfectly.  I have high regards.

**★★★★★ — Quantum Windows & Doors, Sept. 2013**

> There is an elemental sense of timelessness and elegance to everything that Conard Romano touches. Whether they are working within traditional guidelines or in the modern arena, it is their attention to the finer details that sets them apart and guarantees each project to be unique and special.

**★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Aug. 2013**

> We are currently working on designing a cabana for a very tricky waterfront location. There are numerous challenges to the site including, but not limited to steep-slope, waterfront/shoreline, water sewer pipe, substantial tree and more. Jim Romano and Andrea Ermolli have been great at listening to our wishes, evaluating the property, bringing in a land use attorney and developing a concept that met all our needs. Now we are working with the city on getting our project number so we can develop the drawings. I highly recommend this team.

- [Windermere Residence & Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windermere-residence-and-spa-pj-vj~706205)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Originally built in 1929, this Edwin Ivey Tudor on a Lake Washington high bank lot, was long overdue for an update. The project consists of two main phases: a renovation of the existing house, and the construction of a new swimming pool and detached Spa building with hot tub and sauna. Our intent with the renovation was to improve the plan for our existing clients' contemporary lifestyle without altering the aesthetics of the original architecture. In addition to updating finishes and bathrooms,…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12

The renovation opended the kitchen and family rooms to each other while also creating distinct gathering zones for games, homework, entertaining, and cooking. The detailing is clean and crisp but with proportions and scale derived from other areas of the traditional home.
- [Seattle Area Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-area-residence-pj-vj~5877)
  - Location: Seattle, WA
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: This home is inspired by the owner’s trips to France and by the early 20th century neo classical architecture of Charles Platt and David Alder. Rigorous attention to proportion, scale and detail bring authenticity to the design. The plan is organized around a central two-story family room. This is a cube of space measuring twenty feet on each side. Living, dining, cooking and circulation spaces form the edges of the light filled core. A terrace and covered porch connect the living areas to the s…
- [Eastside Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eastside-residence-pj-vj~1331)
  - Location: Seattle, WA
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This new house on a sloping site is oriented due south to capture light and views of Lake Washington and Mt Rainier. The exterior features a slate roof, stained shingles, stone base, and copper gutters and downspouts, which harmonize with the natural palette of the site and complement the interior’s stained fir cabinetry and trim. The south facing deck, covered porch and bay windows connect the primary living rooms to the views.

  - Location: Seattle, WA
  - Photos: 5

The three bedroom house forms the northern edge of the courtyard and enjoys a prospect over the adjacent field to the north. The east edge is formed by a breezeway and attached garage building, which also houses an exercise room and second floor guest suite. A barn-like structure completes the courtyard on the south and houses a workshop, boat storage and small office.
- [Denny Blaine Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/denny-blaine-renovation-pj-vj~3722)
  - Location: Seattle, WA
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: Originally built in 1902 for a local Judge, this is one of the oldest houses in Seattle’s Denny Blaine neighborhood.

Our challenge was to transform an awkward and outdated floor plan into one that flowed smoothly in support of the owner’s lifestyle, while bringing clarity and enhanced detail to what was an eclectic architectural composition. Existing windows were restored and new ones carefully scaled to ha…
