about us
who we are
Lisa and Daren are partners in life and in work, rooted in a shared passion for designing architecture that’s both personal and purposeful. Grounded yet imaginative, we bring warmth, curiosity, and craftsmanship to everything we do. Our approach is deeply collaborative - centered around the belief that good design enhances everyday life and connects people more meaningfully to their surroundings. We create spaces that feel bespoke, beautiful, and deeply in tune with the natural and human elements that define a sense of place.
what we do
We design lifestyle-focused architecture that is both modern and timeless - where beauty meets function, and creativity is grounded in practicality. Through a process that is hands-on, laid back, and highly attentive, we translate your ideas, passions, and routines into thoughtful spaces designed to elevate daily living. Every detail is considered, from the elemental to the expressive. Our services are curated, collaborative, and detail-driven - from concept through completion - delivering spaces that feel natural, intentional, and uniquely yours.
why us
We’re a small, experienced team offering direct, personalized service with one point of contact throughout your project. That means clear communication, strong relationships, and a smoother process. Our low overhead means we can prioritize your investment, putting more into what matters: your project. We curate each phase of the project with care, ensuring a process that’s practical, transparent, and—dare we say—fun. No egos, no fluff. Just skilled design rooted in craft, connection, and creating beautiful spaces that feel like home.
where we work
We call both Seattle, Washington and Astoria, Oregon home, but our work stretches up and down the West Coast and beyond. We’re mobile, flexible, and excited to follow projects wherever they take us. Along the way, we’ve been honored as one of Forbes’ top 200 residential architects in the U.S., featured in The New York Times, and recognized with awards from Luxe Magazine and and honor award from the Seattle American Institute of Architects. But what really drives us is the chance to collaborate with adventurous clients and craft spaces that bring joy, beauty, and a sense of belonging.
