Richard Hiner

Rick was attentive and perceptive, and helped put ideas into tangible plans very quickly. He is able to work in a wide variety of styles, but will work towards the needs of the client. Very highly recommended.

Just completed the wood flooring in a new home in Port Townsend that was designed by Richard Hiner, and I must say that the design was well integrated to the sight and the floor plan has a great layout. Wish I could live there!

Richard Hiner has designed the remodeling of our mid-century modern home, section by section, over the past twenty-plus years. With each project, he has preserved the original outstanding features of this house--open plan, large windows, cardecking ceiling--while enhancing the look and feel of the house with a myriad of updated details that make it a delightful home. Rick is a pleasure to work with--always listening to our concerns and ideas--as well as being a truly creative architect and outstanding problem solver, coming up with solutions that met our budget. He has a great sense of humor, a very valuable trait in an architect who works closely with homeowners. We have enjoyed our relationship with Rick immensely.

Rick designed the major remodel of our home. He was accessible and easy to work with, listened to our input and incorporated our ideas/needs into his design, was very creative in the design elements of our home, and worked well with our contractor. We would not hesitate to use his services again or recommend him to friends.

Rick Hiner was the architect involved in the remodeling of my bluff front house overlooking Puget Sound. His ability to bring his own insights, while respecting and honoring mine made for what I can only describe as a wildly successful and satisfying experience, which truly felt like a team effort. I will never forget sitting in my (new) dining room, and realizing with a start, that Rick had been there, and walked through the entire house, long before I had ever realized the details that were involved. Kudos to Rick and his team!!!

Rick was hired to restore and reconfigure an old water mill in Portugal that consisted of three conjoined houses that were in ruins, and included imbedded enormous stones and a variety of elevations, this from a continent away from the most part, and having to deal with both language and cultural considerations with the builders. He did an amazing job, after traveling to the site. He was able to incorporate existing features, as well as utilize modern features, working around restrictive local codes, as the mill was an historic building.
