Design Services NW
Architects & Building Designers in Fairwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2014
“Oscar and team did an incredible job designing our lake home. I'm a budget focused guy and he was able provide thoughtful design solutions that minimized cost while maximizing the wow factor of our design. Our site was extremely steep (think near vertical) and Oscar was able to create an incredibly efficient solution by integrating structural and site design with our unconventional floorplan needs. Our project is nearing completion and Design Services NW was our best decision. Nate W”
Coates Design Architecture + Interiors
Architects & Building Designers in Fairwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 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.”
Sims Design Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Fairwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2014
“We've had the pleasure of working with Ken recently to design a custom home. All I can say is that he's an awesome guy! Ken understands the structural, mechanical, and technical aspects of construction inside and out. His drawings are exceptional. (We have received numerous compliments on the plans from contractors.) But he also has an incredible sense of design - from overall concept, to layout and flow, to architectural details, to lighting and interior design. He becomes heavily invested in his projects, and it clearly shows. The quality of his work is far better than many of the high-dollar architects we could never afford. It has been a fun process, we are thrilled with the result, and along the way we made a great friend. What more could we ask for? I would highly recommend Ken to anybody who is looking to build or remodel a house!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2024
“Omar made the whole process easy. This was our first time ever using the services provided. We could not be happier. We explained our lack of expertise in this area and the importance of the addition for our parents who need additional care. Omar was very thoughtful throughout the whole process. Every suggestion he made was to the betterment of the plan while keeping cost and time to execute part of the final work. We can, with full honor, recommend his services.”
Copeland Architecture & Construction Inc

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 February 2014
“I have the utmost respect for Copeland Architecture and Construction. They are extreme professionals in the industry. I have seen first hand the quality and dedication that they put forth in everything that they touch. I used Jeff Fountain for consulting on a downtown project and I also had to privilege to sell one of his buildings.”
Fusion Architecture

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 August 2015
“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 November 2017
“We work with Selkirk Design Company, specifically Matt Cudmore on many architectural designs for our homes. He works tirelessly and efficiently to ensure his drawings are an accurate reflection of our clients wants, needs and budget. We will continue to utilize his services as well as refer him as a trusted professional contact.”
Spokane House Plans, Inc
Architects & Building Designers in Fairwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2014
“We designed our house with Spokane House Plans last year. We wanted two-story appearance, but we didn't want two-story house. AK found a compromise by putting guest suite upstairs, with all living on main floor. When we ran into some site problems during the construction (steep hill), he came back and adjusted the plans free of charge! Definitely recommend and would use him again and again!”

An architect or building designer in Fairwood, WA can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Fairwood, WA home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Fairwood, WA general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the 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.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Fairwood, WA:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • 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 general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
