    “Larry is very easy to work with, and has a lot of great ideas and helpful suggestion's. This is a first house that we have started from the ground up and he treated each of our questions with respect even if it wasn't something that could be done. He would then explain why it would or wouldn't work.”

    Coyote Design Architecture + Planning PLLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Olympia
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 9, 2011
    “WE LOVE OUR HOME: The idea of designing the perfect house is a daunting task. There are dozens of thought and ideas rolling around in your head that have to be captured and translated into a final plan. On top of this, you don’t get the immediate satisfaction from these design ideas due to the many months it takes to turn them into a physical reality. This is where your Architect comes in. Having this magic ability to translate your dreams into an actionable design and then a physical dwelling is a gift. Darren of Coyote design has this gift. We have lived in our home for over 5 years now and I can honestly say I would NOT change a thing! Noting I was spending a few million dollars on my project, you can probably imagine my tensions were high as we started out with an empty lot and blank slate. Very quickly I could see that Darren got it. In no time the process became fun for my wife and I. We were able to bounce ideas and find pictures similar to samples from this website and Darren would make these ideas reality. Even the “chances” we took turned out to be some of the most satisfying features of our home. The end result was our project came in on time, on budget and most importantly right on the mark. WE LOVE OUR HOME…The Fox Island Haven.... ”
    Andrew Mikhael Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Olympia
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 1, 2013
    “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.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 14, 2013
    “We collaborated with Brett Marlo Designs on a custom sliding door for one of her projects. Brett wanted to transform a nook into a study room for her customer's daughters and came to us with the idea of the sliding door. We really enjoyed working with Brett throughout the whole process. She has a great eye for design and is really good at solving design constraints. As you can see from the picture the result of her design was an amazing study space. We look forward to working with her on many projects in the future.”

    Roger Long Studio LLC

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 19, 2022
    “We so appreciated Rogers skill and creativity in both projects; his eye for detail and design are exceptional. Start of construction was July 30, 2015 and occupancy permit by March 9, 2016! Construction cost came in under estimate. We love this house and the way it sets on our site, with views of the Lake/River from first floor bedroom, kitchen, dining and family room; and second floor two bedrooms also have views. Kitchen has cherry custom cabinets and granite counter tops. Kitchen window to East has a view of the wooded hillside, and the daily turkey and deer processions going down to the Lake for a drink. Rick & Tina Esvelt”
    Swalling Walk Architects, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Olympia
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 13, 2014
    “The Boston Harbor House After two years of failed starts with contractors who couldn't understand the difference between colonial and craftsman, I did what I should have done in the beginning - I met with Sheila Swalling, who immediately understood blending historic design elements with modern conveniences. We were working with a small waterfront lot, and the goal was to recreate a stone house of the type you see along the shores of the east coast and Europe. It was also very important to have total privacy from the street while keeping the feel of an inviting cottage. Sheila's floorplan brilliantly accomplishes including everything essential on the first floor. Family spaces upstairs include an office, a library in the open hallway with coffee service for the upstairs bedrooms. The third floor, a kids' sleeping porch, is perhaps the most special room of all with the roof angles, the skylight and dramatic 180 degree water views. Besides the constrained footprint, we were also against a hard deadline for permits. Incredibly, Sheila nailed every detail after meeting with me only three times, and she produced all the drawings (structual, electrical, lighting, drainage) needed to proceed in a very short time. I hugely recommend SwallingWalk to anyone looking for a great architect. You will find that Sheila isn't just an amazing responsive professional, she's also wonderful company on the most personal of projects - your home. HUGE recommend from me!”

    Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Olympia home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Olympia, WA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

    How do I find the best Olympia residential design architect for my project?


    It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Olympia residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Olympia, WA provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

    Questions to ask prospective Olympia interior architects:


    • What is your fee structure?
    • What does the cost include?
    • Do you have professional liability insurance?
    • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
    • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
    • What is your experience with similar projects?
    • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
    • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
    • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
    • Can you provide me with references?
    • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
    • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
    • What do you estimate the cost will be?
    • What will I need to provide?
    • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
