Refine Design Architecture is a licensed residential architecture firm serving Issaquah and communities throughout Washington State. Led by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins, our studio specializes in custom home design, home additions, renovations, and the full range of architectural services that bring a residential project from concept to construction. Issaquah offers a remarkable setting for residential architecture—nestled between the Cascade foothills and the shores of Lake Sammamish, the area's varied topography, mature forests, and mountain proximity create both exciting design opportunities and technical challenges that benefit from thoughtful, experienced architectural guidance. We understand how the City of Issaquah's zoning codes, critical areas regulations, and permitting processes work, and we use that knowledge to move your project forward efficiently. Our process is collaborative and transparent from the very first conversation. We listen carefully to understand how you live, what you value in a home, and what the land has to offer—then we translate those insights into architecture that feels purposeful and lasting. Whether you're envisioning a new custom home in the Issaquah Highlands, an addition to a Squak Mountain retreat, or a full renovation in one of Issaquah's established neighborhoods, our team is ready to guide you through every step. Design is the good stuff, and we take it seriously.
