DeForest Architects

With studios in Seattle and Tahoe, DeForest Architects believes that the best design begins with understanding – and caring about – what is important to our clients. We listen. We learn. We welcome you into the creative process. The result is more than we could have thought of alone. And it is more fun too.

Experts + students – We bring experience to every project that is broad and deep. At the same time, we are experts at asking the right questions. Instead of limiting ourselves to a particular style, we approach every project with an open mind, a fresh perspective and eager curiosity. Ultimately, our projects look different because our clients are different.

Close collaboration across every distance – Do you find it difficult to find a local design firm that fits you exactly? Thanks to new technologies, we bring our interactive, hands-on approach to various projects across the United States. From new homes to renovations, from theaters to churches, from Michigan to California, Montana and Washington, we work on great projects (with great people!) wherever they are.
