Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Alder

“Sketched up some ideas for our future home and got exactly what we were looking for. The drawings turned out great. Gabe was very easy to work with and supportive of all our ideas and little changes to make this our perfect forever home.. I would highly recommend him.”

“I have know Jared now for over a decade. He has great attention to detail and communication. I have worked with Jared on a couple of projects now and always enjoy his company. If you are looking for a quality designer then Jared is your man.”

“My experience when working with Northlight has been nothing but great... Creative, inspiring and easy to work with and provided many options to help us come to a decision.”

“We engaged the services of Don Larkin, Architect, to design our new custom home in Manchester, Washington. We selected Don after reviewing and interviewing several other architects because of his previous experience in construction, his design style, and his easy-going manner. We were not disappointed. We brought Don a conceptual layout, discussed with him our priorities -- needs, wants and desires -- and after a site visit, he flipped our concept 180 degrees which resulted in a far superior layout for the site. I guess that's why you hire a professional. His initial exterior design so captivated my wife and me by delivering on our tastes and styles that we hardly made changes to his exterior concept. Throughout the design process, Don brought us excellent ideas, and as we suggested changes or modifications, he was always good natured in dealing with our ignorances by pointing out why what we suggested would not work, but offering alternatives that blended our vision with reality. Once we settled on a design, he was there with us throughout the permitting process and the construction phase, making necessary or desired changes as requested. He has remained in contact after we completed construction to ensure we are satisfied with the home he designed based on our vision and our lifestyle. Throughout the process, both Don, and my wife and I learned a lot about the architectural design process. Don recognized some of our spatial visualization issues and developed some 3-D depictions of his 2-D drawings. These 3-D renderings helped tremendously in our ability to visualize the finished product, and to communicate with our contractor and trades people on the desired finished look. If Don does not offer these to you, I recommend that you ask him about them. They were an excellent aid in our design and build process. I absolutely and without hesitation commend and recommend Don Larkin for anyone who is interested in new or remodel construction architectural services. He listens to what you want, brings to you what he heard, and works with you to refine the product to meet your dreams. Don certainly delivered on our dream. Dave Pabst”

“I hired Dave Hygard to do a major remodel for me. He completely remodeled the kitchen, including new cabinets, new flooring, new countertops. Both bathrooms were also remodeled including all cabinetry, sinks and hardware. New tile flooring was put into the bathroom with a heating element underneath. All new flooring went through approximately half of my home. Plus he customized storage areas, replaced all interior doors including all closet doors. "Popcorn" was removed from several ceilings. Overall, the job was done professionally, on time, and within budget.”

“It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Brandon, and his team at Cascade Drafting & Design. Brandon is my go-to person for AutoCAD drafting for my Interior Design business. He is extremely professional in all his business dealing. He listens well and is highly intuitive. He always follows through, returns calls in a timely manner and can work under pressure of a deadline. Brandon and his team execute their work with knowledge and precision skill. They strive for accuracy and when faced with new challenges are eager to learn and master the task at hand. Nia Collins, ASID Principal, Collins Group Design, Inc.”

“Bret Drager was my late wife's and my architect for a very contemporary design home we built on Whidbey Island in 2003-2004. He was personable, sensible, and creative throughout the process, and did not cost an arm and a leg. He asked us provocative questions to begin the process and came forth then with five design concepts. After we choose one, he involved us a lot in the process, but still directed us well and saved us from a number of bad mistakes we would otherwise have been attracted to. He welcomed the involvement of our contractor before construction drawings were finished, which again saved a number of headaches. When most of the last of our sweat equity -- and the house -- was finished, he visited with several of his staff to kick back and savor the result. We have kept in touch since.”

“I have been working with Richard now for over a year and strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a Experienced Architect! He is very knowledgeable in the Residential Design field, and Construction Methods. I have hired Him to create Preliminary Designs for me and both my Clients and my self were very Impressed.”

“Andrew helped us file for an Alt-2 permit with the NYC DOB. He also helped us with our co-op board package. His services included initial consultation, measurements, architectural drawings, plumbing plan, statement of work being done, filing of permit (with an expeditor), permit pulling, and other certifications required by our board. Andrew was very responsive and flexible. He was able to set up an initial consultation within 24 hours. He came prepared and measured our apartment during the consultation. We executed the contract and the first payment was made shortly thereafter. Andrew has completed all of the work in his scope and has done an amazing job. Even during the renovation process, he went above and beyond his duties and continued checking in. Andrew has provided an A+ experience and we have already recommended him to a couple of friends. He's a class act and will respond very quickly in a professional and polite manner.”

“Röm Architecture Studio was the brains behind our significant remodel. As an architect myself, I had high standards for both professional service and the design solution. Not currently working in residential, I needed someone who could take my handwaving and concerns and turn them into solutions. Carol Sundstrom listened to our wishes and dreams, and suggested a novel idea. Our initial reaction was to be stunned - she was relocating rooms around the floor plan of the house but in the end, it works just the way we wanted it to. Our remodel was complete a couple of years ago and it is not only a lovely space but it fits our family's lifestyle. Accessibility for wheelchair users was a high priority for us and she accommodated our needs gracefully.”
