I have collaborated with Shuler Architecture on several projects. Mark is a talented architect experienced and equipped to handle complex issues that may be encountered on residential and commercial projects. His familiarity with building codes and site conditions help Owners reach a realistic understanding of a projects scope and cost. Mark’s attention to detail provides the contractor and their subs with the tools necessary to deliver a high-quality project.

We hired Mark to help us build our dream home in Seattle and he delivered, with exceptional quality and respect. Mark was very attentive to every detail, helped us coordinate with the city and our builder, and was a pleasure to work with. We took a 1600 sq foot (2bd, 1bth) and turned it into a 3800 sq ft (5bd, 5bth) on the same footprint. It was a complete tear-down, new foundation, full basement, 3 stories, with rooftop deck. Mark responded to our initial request in minutes, helped us with gathering ideas, provided extensive drawings, and incorporated our additions throughout the initial planning. Mark was available throughout the build and even after completion to answer questions. It was a pleasure working with him and I’d recommend his services to others.

I connected with Mark in 2004 to design a major remodel on a fixer upper, starting at the foundation. He provided guidance and expertise every step of the way; sharing his knowledge with this curious first time homeowner. Mark made it possible to incorporate the features and aesthetic I hoped for while doubling the footprint and functional space. In 2018, Mark designed an efficient, well-purposed DADU/Garage on the same property as the '04 project. Mark has a knack for navigating the City code that allowed the project to move along smoothly from start to finish. Mark is an incredible resource and he is always willing to lend a hand or direct you to someone he knows that can best help. It was a treat to work together again, not only with Mark but the same contractor as well.

We have used Shuler Architecture for three or four different projects now, ranging from a simple garden shed design to a new house plan to a full house remodel. Mark is thorough, very up-to-date with current building codes for a variety of cities, and overall has a great ideas. He is timely in his work and follows through on what he says he will do. Overall we highly recommend Shuler Architecture!

Mark Shuler is an expert navigator of the Seattle DCI permitting and project management labrynth, and was an essential partner in establishing use for the record for a small apartment we own in Seattle. He is responsive, professional and a good value - I would never attempt a permitted construction or remodel project in Seattle without him. I recommend Shuler Architecture without reservations!

Mark has done an outstanding job on our project and has successfully navigated through the complexities of renovating a 100+ year old home. Mark is quick to respond and makes himself available when needed. He also has exceptional attention to detail. We are just about to kick off construction on Mark's plans and look forward to seeing the completed project in 2017.

Mark Shuler was an invaluable contributor to a complex commercial project in Snohomish County. He was responsive to our needs, mindful of the regulatory environment, and dedicated to detail. Our project would not have been possible without his skills and team-based approach.

Mark helped us navigate the challenging permit system in Seattle so that we could get our basement apartment legalized and up to date. He was a great advocate, and we could not have completed this project without his expert knowledge of the Seattle DPD system. He is also wonderful to work with; very professional, positive, and an excellent communicator.

Thanks Mary and congratulations on getting to the finish line.

We hired Shuler Architecture to design our extensive home remodel after receiving bids from two other architecture firms (one very large residential and one smaller residential firm). We selected Shuler for the following reasons: -Shuler did an excellent job in the pre-sale cycle of creating a vision of what our home project could achieve, taking into consideration our style, goals and budget. -Shuler did the best job of the three bids we received in then taking this vision and laying out how the project gets completed, including descriptions of the contractors with which Shuler has excellent relationships. This was a major differentiator for us, as the other two bids were very lacking in this need. During the design process, Shuler managed our project excellently. We met with Shuler a number of times at the project site, going through about 5 different project iterations until a final design was achieved. Shuler walked us through our expected costs and how they related to the design, which made it easier for us to understand the impacts of asking for more or less on the final project. Lastly, Shuler handled a very difficult permitting process with the City of Kirkland, making sure our project had all of the necessary elements of safety, but none of the unnecessary hassle that has come to be the city's permitting process. I would recommend Shuler for any type of comparable remodel, based on excellence in design, project management and exceeding customer expectations.

Mark provided designs for an extensive full first floor remodel. He provided insights and inspiration to turn our dated mid century house into a wonderful place for our large family to gather and my wife and I to live the rest of our lives.

Comment from Shuler Architecture:

Thanks Charles. I hope to feature this remodel on this forum soon.

We hired Mark to make some changes to our main floor plan. Mark came up with a wonderful and inexpensive concept which was a major improvement to our home. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with. He was always on time and never missed a deadline. Hiring him was an excellent choice and I would recommend his services to anybody who is looking to build or remodel.
