Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle

Coates Design Architecture + Interiors
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2012
“We've toured the residential and commercial projects created on Bainbridge Island by Coates Design, and have followed their work for years. Our office was in the same building, and we often stopped in to learn more about their projects. We've always been impressed by their great architectural sense of aesthetics, and their ability to create innovative work that blends well into the surroundings of the project location. Very professional, very pleasant and very accomplished.”
Patricia Brennan Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 14, 2015
“We have worked with Patricia Brennan Architects on 4 different projects of varying scale - from a kitchen/bathroom remodel to the transformation of a 4-story derelict warehouse into an AIA award winning building of artist live/work spaces. Each experience has left us with a deep appreciation for the work she does and how she does it. Patricia listens closely - she listens to the physical space of the project and she listens to the desires and needs of her clients. She engages in a collaborative dialogue at the outset of a project and continues the dialogue until the project is complete. She has an amazing sense of color, a wide range of knowledge about all kinds of materials (from lighting to flooring and everything in between) and she provides recommendations for high quality professionals and reliable contractors. She’s attentive to detail, to budget, to practical problem solving and to the aesthetics, flow and functionality of a space. Each project we’ve done with Patricia has exceeded our hopes and left us with living spaces we love to be in. We feel fortunate we were able to work with Patricia for the first time 22 years ago – after that initial experience we knew whenever we embarked upon another project she would be the only person we would call. Her work has added to our lives immeasurably.”
Demetriou Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2016
“Vassos Demetriou and his team do an amazing job. They designed our dream home for us, made necessary adjustments when we needed to meet our budget, and now are helping us through the permitting and building process. They are a fantastic full-service architect team.”
Refine Design Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 1, 2022
“I am so pleased with the work the Refine Design architecture team has delivered for our home remodel. We bought a funky 1940s house that needs a ton of love and work. At first, it was quite overwhelming to not know the possibilities of the home and what could modernize it but also maintain some of the original factors that we love. We had a couple of ideas when we sat down with the team and they not only helped bring our vision to life, but offered different ideas and a point of view we had not thought of. I highly recommend this duo - they are incredibly easy to work with and passionate about what they do. Thank you both for your help with our home!”
David Coleman / Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 11, 2013
“It's been a delight working with David on designing our retirement home in the Methow Valley. We came to him with some ideas which he was able to incorporate into a design beyond our dreams. We are moving towards starting construction and are also very pleased with the relationship/communication between David and our general contractor. David is very professional, budget conscious, respectful of our needs and wants, and quite enjoyable to work with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 27, 2016
“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.”
Studio Walker Architects, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 3, 2021
“I was looking for someone deeply experienced in technical domains, (architecture, construction, and fabrication) to fit the requirements of my custom home, the Galer Street House. Thomas was tasked with production of the interior custom cabinetry and associated custom woodworking. From our first meeting, Thomas’s communication, experience and broad background gave me confidence that he would understand the complex geometries and be able to deliver the high-end quality needed for this application. From the custom handmade walnut cabinets, custom furniture-like features and being always available to help me when the details needed his attention, he delivered. I was not disappointed. In addition, when challenged by architectural details and budget constraints on the exterior of the home, Thomas, owner of Studio Walker Architects, Inc., was able to take a large burden off my shoulders with his durable design/build approach, which was substantially less expensive and also resulted in a better overall appearance. Thanks, Thomas!”
Abita Studio Architecture + Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Seattle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 16, 2014
“Working with Lotte (Abita Studio Architecture & Design) on our kitchen remodel was a good match for us. She listened carefully and provided a design that showed she paid attention to what we said was important. Through several iterations, she worked like a valued team member...challenging us when needed and supporting our modifications-- all while keeping us focused on our goal. We would not hesitate to work with her again.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Seattle 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 Seattle, WA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle, 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 Seattle 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?
