If you're considering a home in Kirkland, Washington, in King County, an Architect Consultation helps you test an idea before you invest in it. Refine Design Architecture is a residential architecture firm based in the Methow Valley, and we conduct work across Washington State, which includes serving Kirkland and King County. Our projects span from Seattle and Gig Harbor to Leavenworth, Chelan, and Winthrop. Our residential work includes a remodel and addition for a family home in Bellevue, WA, and an addition to a 100-year-old Craftsman house in Seattle. We haven't listed a Kirkland project, so we'll be plain: what we bring to your Kirkland Architect Consultation is our process, not neighborhood history.
That process starts with a free conversation about your vision, site, budget, and what is possible. We design custom homes, additions, and renovations, including home offices, mother-in-law suites, and ADUs. We say the right ADU solution depends on your lot and goals, such as passive income, downsizing, or space for extended family. Our feasibility studies review local building and zoning codes, including height, floor area, setbacks, and critical areas. Our site analysis looks at topography, drainage, access, and zoning restrictions. We often prepare a draft site plan showing the anticipated locations of major utilities and improvements, and we encourage early collaboration between you, your builder, and your engineer so the design matches site and budget realities before construction begins.
