3D Rendering in Anacortes.

“I am a retired Interior Designer and wanted to work with an architect who was up on the latest improvements in HVAC and plumbing. I had a pretty clear idea of the layout of our new house but needed help deciding on a contractor to hire as well as some creative structural details to make our 1800 sq. ft. single level home work for us as we age without looking like an "old folks home". Haven Design was instrumental in helping us select a contractor and we have been very pleased with the results.”

“In the realm of architecture, finding someone who not only designs a house but crafts a home tailored to your dreams is like discovering a hidden gem in a sea of stones. Matthew isn't just an architect; he's a dreamweaver, a magician who took the blueprint of our aspirations and transformed it into a tangible reality that exceeds every expectation. We purchased land near Pine Lake in Sammamish with permitted plans, but we found ourselves uninspired by the proposed house design. Despite numerous revisions, the essence of our vision was missing. Seeking guidance, we turned to Matthew, who quickly identified flaws and presented fresh design options. Entrusting him with the decision-making process, we were captivated by his vision, prompting us to halt construction and embark on a new journey to craft the home of our dreams alongside Matthew. Matthew's approach isn't just about drawing lines and angles; it's about understanding the soul of a space. He didn't just listen; he absorbed our dreams, our fears, and our aspirations, infusing them into every curve and corner of the design. His probing questions sparked conversations that delved deeper than architectural aesthetics, forging a connection that transcended mere client and architect. Throughout our collaboration, Matthew exuded professionalism like a beacon in the night. His guidance was not just about making decisions but about empowering us to make informed choices that resonated with our vision and budget. His transparent communication and unwavering support transformed what could have been a daunting process into a journey of discovery and joy. Matthew's design transcends the ordinary, weaving together elements of comfort, elegance, and warmth in a tapestry of architectural brilliance. The way he seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor spaces, framing breathtaking views with each window, fills us with a sense of awe and gratitude every time we walk through the door. For anyone seeking not just a house but a home—a place where memories are made—I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew. His talent, his passion, and his unwavering commitment to excellence make him not just an architect but a trusted partner in the journey of turning dreams into reality. As we eagerly anticipate the commencement of construction, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Matthew for his invaluable contributions. We are truly fortunate to have had him by our side throughout this transformative process. Shweta and Shilen”

“Pearl Schaar and David Pelletier provided us with a great experience from the initial top-level planning through the engineering review of our 4000+sq. ft. waterfront home on Camano Island. We worked together as a team, sometimes through a careful and deliberate process, other times through brainstorming and thinking out of the box to accomplish our end goals for our home. They guided and took direction from us as well. In retrospect, I believe the primary impact they had in providing the house we wanted was the education they provided regarding natural materials and flow. We learned and gained in the process.”

“We have had the good fortune to have benefited from Nina LeBaron's expertise for nearly 20 years on numerous projects. Nina was responsible for our first extensive remodel 18 years ago and we have relied on her excellent taste, judgement and critical eye on various renovations. Nina has the rare ability of an architect to remain mindful of not only the client's vision but the budget and the impact her recommendations will have on multiple platforms. Her research is remarkably thorough, her attention to detail exceptional and remains a joy to work with from the start of a project to completion. We heartily recommend Nina LeBaron for all sizes of projects; from large to small.”

“We would highly recommend Stig Carlson as an architect for your project because he listens to our ideas, he understands that this will be our home, not just his design. Stig has the unique ability to diffuse a situation where the individuals disagree on a particular issue, to move beyond this point until the two have had an opportunity to discuss their views and then later he will remember to readdress this issue. Stig manages to keep the project moving forward when dealing with county officials who give vague guidelines by requesting specific details of what they will and will not accept. He is an effective advocate for your project and provides an excellent set of drawings for you and your builder to help eliminate unexpected costly and time consuming change orders His kind and gentle manner is well suited for any client, yet strength and knowledge arm him for county regulatory rhetoric. We are most pleased with our soon to be built home. Sharon Vaughn and Bruce Porter”

“As General Contractors, we have had the privilege of working with Dan Nelson and the great folks at Designs Northwest Architects on many projects, some award winning. We recommend them highly and look forward to working with them on many projects in the future! ~ RGN Construction, LLC, Seattle WA”

“Corry is the creative leader in his field. I’ve worked with him on a number of projects and am constantly impressed with his eye for detail, cutting edge designs, value engineering, and the ability to get the hard work done for his customers when other designers or management consultants would shrink back. No project is too daunting for Corry, and all of his work stands out from the crowd. His homes are the timeless ones we’ll be seeing in magazines someday, not the ones that will need a remodel 10 years from now. Use Corry while you can still afford him. Because his work is that special.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jen on the plans for our home addition. She took time to discuss our needs and wants; as well as discover our design preferences - all while working within the scale and lines of our existing home. Jen took that information and came back with three unique approaches. We selected one and refined it as a team. She had excellent ideas regarding room sizes and placement. Now that our addition has been built, we can’t imagine our home without it. It looks as if it was always there. We highly recommend Jen Jones and her work.”

“I was very pleased with the process and results of working with Terrapin Architecture for an addition to our home. Richard really heard what I was asking for and envisioned how to make it happen. I received the initial drawings via email along with a video, which gave me the opportunity to give feedback and ask questions. He was very professional and met my deadlines and budget requests. He also recommended an excellent contractor to bring it into reality! I am so happy with the results!!!”

“Simon Little (Studio STL) is the architect we chose for our remodel. We didn’t come to him with a simple project, either – it’s the comprehensive remodel of a 3,200 square foot barn-style building we’re converting to a beautiful, single family residence. The previous owners were going in a remodel direction we felt didn’t suit the house or its location. Simon’s design gives our house the functionality and style it was lacking. It isn’t often you find an architect with his level of creativity balanced with budget-conscious judgment. Furthermore, as professional tradespeople ourselves, we’ve had the opportunity to work off several of his designs – each has been an accurate, creative set of plans (and beautiful!). He’s very professional and timely in all his correspondence. All around, Simon is a pleasure to work with.”
