Refine Design Architecture is the team of custom home architects that Cle Elum and greater Kittitas County residents trust to bring their residential visions to life. Our licensed architects—Stone Faison and Julia Atkins—lead a collaborative studio with deep experience designing homes that respond to the specific demands and opportunities of the Pacific Northwest's mountain landscapes. Cle Elum is a place unlike any other: where the dry east Cascade foothills open up into wide skies, where winters are real, where a home has to work hard and look beautiful doing it. We design for that reality. Every project begins with a thorough pre-design phase, where we assess your site, review Kittitas County zoning and building codes, and align on a vision that is both aspirational and achievable. From there, our design process is exploratory and collaborative—developing multiple floor plan concepts, studying how your home captures morning light or frames a ridgeline view, and refining the design through detailed 3D visualizations. We then prepare comprehensive permit and construction documents that meet local requirements and give your builder the clarity needed to construct your home with precision. Whether you are planning a year-round residence, a mountain retreat, or a thoughtful addition to an existing home, our custom home architects bring the expertise, care, and creativity that Cle Elum projects deserve. Let's design something worth coming home to.
