Best Architecture Firms In Seattle Near Me

cinelli43: Очень дееспособная фирма. Внимание к детали.

Sandra Jae: We had been looking for a design-build company in Seattle, that could handle all aspects of the remodel of our mid-century home, when we came upon CTA’s listing and liked their work. We wanted to start the process with a redesign of our master bedroom/ bathroom suite, with hopes of someday moving on to other parts of our house. We didn’t feel we had a large enough project to hire a large architectural firm, and had actually been turned down by one company when they heard it wasn’t a whole-house remodel. We hoped to find a ‘one-stop shop’ that could not only design the rooms, but hire and interact with the contractor, and help with interior design.After our initial meeting with Julie, we knew she would be great to work with. We just clicked. It was obvious she had years of experience under her belt, and would be someone who could easily guide us through the process. We immediately felt comfortable hiring her and her team for our job.The design process went very smoothly with a few meetings at CTA’s offices, where they made us feel right at home. We were given several layout options to choose from, and they were more than happy to make changes here and there within the design. Once we got closer to our final decisions, we were able to see 3D ‘walk-throughs” to help us envision how the rooms would look. As someone who agonizes over every decision, I was very appreciative of how patient Julie and Nicole were with me, and I never felt pressure to make a decision without some time to think it over.Julie found an excellent contractor for our project, who managed all the sub-contractors and did beautiful finish work. We all worked together, on items big and small, to resolve any design dilemmas that naturally came up along the way. Julie understood how important it was for us to maintain the integrity of the house while updating its layout and finishes. She came up with many ingenious ways to add special little design touches, while keeping everything simple and ‘zen.’Since we had the attention of the contractor, and Julie, an experienced architect on hand, we decided to move ahead with an additional project that truly needed attention in our home: new windows and sliding patio doors. Our home was designed in the ’60’s with beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, with minimal framing, but they were single-paned: drafty in the winter and sweltering in the summer. We wanted to maintain the look of the original windows without adding the bulky window frames offered by most companies. We knew this would require a person who could think outside of the box and come up with a creative solution to the problem. We also wanted someone who would understand why we wanted to maintain the mid-century aesthetic of our windows. Julie and the contractor worked together to design new window sills that are built out just enough to hold double-paned glazing, without noticeable differences to the original design. We were also able to update our old aluminum sliding doors to much taller wood sliders that are absolutely stunning. The end result was just what we had hoped for.Now, everyday when I enter my bedroom and bathroom, I can hardly believe it is mine! I feel like I’ve moved into a luxury hotel suite with beautiful finishes and thoughtful design. After living in our new space for almost a year, I can’t find a single thing I would change.We are taking a breather from the remodeling process for now, but plan to use CTA’s services again when we move onto Phase 2! Followed by Phase 3!We highly recommend Julie and the team at CTA!
