Refine Design Architecture is a licensed residential architecture firm serving Seattle and communities across Washington State. Led by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins, our studio specializes in custom home design, additions, and renovations that are shaped by the people who live in them and the places where they stand. As your building architect in Seattle, we bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to every project—listening carefully, designing thoughtfully, and guiding you through every phase from first concept to final construction.
Seattle is a city defined by dramatic topography, proximity to water, lush evergreen surroundings, and a strong culture of design and sustainability. Building here requires an architect who understands not just how to design a beautiful home, but how to navigate the city's specific permitting processes, zoning regulations, hillside construction challenges, and environmental critical area requirements. We've developed deep familiarity with Seattle's regulatory landscape so your project moves forward efficiently and confidently.
Our services span the full spectrum of residential architecture: feasibility studies, custom home and floor plan design, home additions, renovation and remodeling plans, energy efficient design, building permit assistance, construction drawings, interior design, and 3D rendering and visualization. Whether your project is a new custom home on a wooded Seattle lot or a thoughtful remodel of an existing residence, we bring the same level of care, creativity, and technical rigor to the work. We believe the best homes are born from meaningful collaboration—and we'd love to start that conversation with you.
