Ballast Architects

We are a small, collaborative partnership, motivated by a desire to bring clarity and accessibility to the design process. Our format offers flexibility for a wide range of project types and sizes, and allows us to work closely with our clients from start to finish to bring our shared vision to life. We design custom-fit homes and boutique commercial spaces, with sensitivity to site and respect for the traditions of construction. While we hold to a high degree of precision and clarity in our work, we take care to consider and preserve those unique and unexpected qualities that make a space feel special. We believe that architecture is not merely meant to be understood, but experienced, lived-in, and changed over time. Our studio is based in the Puget Sound Region, with locations in both Seattle and Poulsbo.
