DeForest Architects

With studios in Seattle and Tahoe, DeForest Architects believes the best design starts with understanding—and caring about—what matters most to our clients. We listen. We learn. We welcome you into the creative process. The result is something even better than we could have imagined on our own. And it is more enjoyable, too.

Experts + students — We bring broad and deep experience to every project. At the same time, we are always asking the right questions. Rather than limiting ourselves to a single style, we approach each project with an open mind, a fresh perspective and eager curiosity. In the end, our projects look different because our clients are different.

Close collaboration across any distance — Finding a local design firm that is the perfect fit can be difficult. Thanks to new technologies, we bring our interactive, hands-on approach to 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.
