Matthew and his staff are highly-creative, and reliable. In the two years we've been working with them, they've helped us through one small project, as well as planning a full-house remodel. I've recommended them to friends.

Matthew Coates & Associates are amazingly talented! I have worked with Matthew on two projects and also referred him to real estate clients. Matthew is a highly skilled problem solver with fabulous esthetics and a great communicator. Also, he has built a team of top notch Associates. Matthew designed the stunning BIMA (Bainbridge Island Museum of Art); a building for which we Islanders are very proud! I highly recommend the Matthew Coates Architectural Design firm.

Our experience with Matthew Coates and his team was excellent.
Our shared goal was to create and maintain a dialogue, as well as to create a vision of aesthetic functionality and delight. Matthew and his associates made a genuine effort to listen; ask critical questions and exercise a conscientious sense of courtesy and integrity throughout the process.

Matthew and his team are thorough, professional, creative and responsive. Building one of their projects becomes a cost effective endeavor for both the builder and the client.
It's not enough to capture someone's idea on paper. It needs to relate to the client's budget and schedule as well. It also needs to be thorough and clear enough for the builder to take it from design to reality.
Coates Design does a great job balancing the entire creative process.

We worked with Coates Design Architects on a custom home on Bainbridge Island. Their strong technical abilities and team spirit allowed the project to go as quickly and efficiently as possible which delivered an incredible house to a great client on time and on budget. We are currently working together on several more proposals and are looking forward to a long working relationship together.

I was asked to help a wonderful young and forward thinking couple design their first house and I quickly realized we needed Matthew Coates to complete our team! I knew Matthew's full knowledge and depth of alternate materials, sustainable building approach and budget mindfulness would be the right mix for their wish-list. Matthew's approach is clearly to render the client's dream above pushing any aesthetic agenda while guiding the right resources, spatial relationships and material palette for the project. A+ listener, A+ architect!

Coates Design Architects are second to none! We are so thankful we choose this firm to build our dream home. They are extremely professional and have a high level of market as well as Industry knowledge. Always on time there was never an issue with deadlines or timelines. Their input on interior decorating ideas, color choices and the different use of materials proved to be invaluable. Both my husband and I have the utmost respect for Coates Design Architects. We have an amazing home and are grateful to them.

Commented: Refinishing kitchen cabinet design/color help?I would stain the cabinets darker and replace the counter top with a light solid surface. Look at something unusual for the Island counter top like Pewter and change the hardware to brushed aluminum.
January 30, 2019 in Paint
Commented: Help Update late '80s fireplace!I agree to spray the doors, white wash brick and paint mantle a black/brown color with some sheen.
January 30, 2019 in Before & After
Commented: Bathroom redo went wrong! how do I fix it?Paint is the least expensive and quickest solution.
Try a small pint of a new color before you go for the entire room.

Commented: Honey Oak Cabinet facelift before/after - do we paint!?That's a great update. I would not recommend painting the cabinets. I would save your budget for the floor.
January 28, 2019 in Design Dilemma
Commented: HELP! Need to finish living roomCoffee tables would look better if they were refinished in an Ebony sheen. The shapes are good.
I would paint out fireplace wall in dark gray and hang an oversized gilded mirror over mantle.
New pat...

Commented: Tile over terrazzo (i think)? Anyone have experience?You can go over the terrazzo. It is really no different than concrete.
Ask your installer to use use thinset. Good luck with your project!
