Designing a new home in Leavenworth requires an architect who understands both the extraordinary opportunities and unique challenges of this mountain community. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth offers unparalleled natural beauty, but building here demands expertise in alpine construction, from foundation systems that handle freeze-thaw cycles to structural design for significant snow loads.

We understand how to orient your home to take advantage of winter sun, design roof systems that shed snow effectively, and create outdoor spaces that extend your living season.
