Refine Design Architecture is a licensed residential architecture firm serving Cle Elum and the greater Kittitas Valley with comprehensive building architect services. Led by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins, our team brings deep expertise in custom home design, home additions, renovations, feasibility studies, energy-efficient design, construction drawings, building permit assistance, interior design, and 3D rendering—every service you need to take a Cle Elum project from initial idea to finished home.
Cle Elum is a place of striking contrasts: ponderosa pine forests meeting open ranchland, historic coal-town character blending with a growing mountain recreation community. Homes here need to be built for serious winters, dramatic temperature swings, and landscapes that deserve to be celebrated rather than hidden. As your building architect in Cle Elum, we design residences that respond to all of it—orienting living spaces toward mountain views, specifying materials that perform in high-desert conditions, and crafting floor plans that make the most of natural light throughout every season.
Our process is collaborative and transparent, built around listening to you and translating what we hear into architecture that feels authentically yours. From your first feasibility conversation through construction administration, Refine Design Architecture is your dedicated building architect partner in Cle Elum—ensuring that every decision serves both the integrity of the design and the reality of building in this remarkable corner of Washington State.
