Architects Northwest/CornerStone Designs

I must have been assigned an architect that didn't know what they were doing. When the builder went to frame the house there were all kinds of mistakes made by the architect that cost me thousands of dollars to do a work around on because the architect didn't do things correctly. I wouldn't let them design a doghouse for me.

I have worked with Jeffrey deRoulet and his team for 20+ years. I have found them all to be very knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. It does not matter if I am building a single spec home, Custom or multiple house plats. They have a wide variety of plans that meets the owners needs regardless of the market. My focus in the last 10 years has been in the custom home market, which is the most fulfilling and challenging at the same time. ANW listens to the clients needs and transfers their dream to paper. It does not matter which city we are in, they do extensive research prior to design, and work with the builder. I have also found their pricing to be a great value with no surprises.

Architects Northwest has many great plans to choose from, they are up date and the list just keeps growing. Their website is easy to navigate and helps narrow down the search to specific styles, widths and depths. Narrow lot? No problem. Side or rear load garage? Many plans to choose from.. If you do not see what you want they have many skilled architects and designers ready to help. I have personally worked with Architects Northwest since 1989. I have lived in two of their designs and built more than I can count. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a permit ready plan service or custom design. Generally they do not do interior design or spend much time on interior detailing. Their pricing is very reasonable for permit ready custom design work. Their ready to build plans are a real bargain. One more thing; the quality and build-ability of the drawings is excellent. In Washington State they address our energy code's high standards and take care of the local structural requirements for wind snow, and seismic loads. If you are out of state you may need a local engineer to review the plans.

We worked with Architects NW on the design of an 11 - unit townhouse project and a 3500 sf spec home. I was extremely pleased with the services they provided and their professionalism. When we submitted plans for the townhouse project, the plans reviewer said it was the most complete (without errors) set of plans that he had ever seen. Jeffrey is one of the most skilled architects that I have had the pleasure of working with.

I’m extremely happy with the way my house plans turned out! Jeffrey deRoulet of Architects NW created exactly what I had envisioned and some more! If you looking for a custom home to build that is elegant and yet affordable to built, Jeffery is your guy!

Architects NW has been a trusted partner of Merit Homes for many years. Just as the housing market was starting to recover in our area, we sat down with them to share our ideas of creating for us a new suite of contemporary plans incorporating new roof lines, larger windows, covered outdoor living areas, great open floor plans and more. They were excited about the project and ran with it bring their tremendous experience, skill and creativity and developed an amazing line of new plans with stunning exteriors, welcoming porches and foyers, large kitchens open to other living areas including the outdoor living that blends seamlessly and becomes part of the living area. The plans have been very well received by our buyers, agents, neighbors, and many other builders as well. We're excited to already be working with them on our next version of plans.

I own a custom homebuilding company and have worked with several different architects on a variety of projects over the years. What I have learned is that Architects Northwest offers substantially more value than any other architect we have ever come across. Their designs are thoughtful & practical while still remaining creative and current. Not only do they know design, but they have an incredible amount of experience & knowledge in the jurisdictions that we build within (Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Medina, Clyde Hill, etc.) and offer creative solutions to complex design problems.

Working with Architects NW has been a pleasure. My wife and I are designing a house for our large family and the architect made suggestions that we never even thought of that made our plan work better for our family. They were very helpful and honest in making value based decisions while keeping the big picture in mind and not sacrificing the look and feel of the home. We started with an existing plan that we probably would have bought if we saw it built...but then we made changes that worked for our family and gave the home a custom feel. I highly recommend Architects NW and would use them again without a second thought.

Architects Northwest went out of their way to design a phenomenal home in Suncadia for our family. It was everything we wanted - without it having to be a stick frame. As a result, the cost of construction was dramatically lower than it would have been.

Our firm WoodRidge Custom Homes has utilized the design services of Architects Northwest. As a Featured Builder in Suncadia, the criteria for building homes in the resort is very stringent, specific and based on unique design criteria. In our experience, the professionals at ANW have taken great effort to insure that every custom project we build has a unique design, amazing timber elements and incredible floor plan designs. The attention to the preliminary design and implementation of the ANW plan details makes every a home a great project to be the builder.
