Refine Design Architecture is a licensed residential architecture firm serving homeowners across Washington State, including the Tumble Creek community and the surrounding Cle Elum and Kittitas County region. Founded by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins, our studio is built on a straightforward belief: the best new homes are shaped by the people who live in them. We specialize exclusively in residential architecture because of its deeply personal nature, and we bring that focus to every custom home we design in Tumble Creek and beyond.
As your new home architect in Tumble Creek, we begin every project by listening—understanding your lifestyle, your aspirations for the land, and the architectural character you want your home to embody. Tumble Creek's high-desert terrain, ponderosa pines, and dramatic seasonal light create a remarkable canvas for custom residential design, and our team knows how to work with that landscape rather than against it. From siting and solar orientation to structural systems suited to mountain climates, every decision we make is grounded in both design quality and technical rigor.
Our process is hands-on, transparent, and collaborative. We walk with you from the earliest sketch through permitting and construction, providing the guidance and documentation you need at every stage. Whether you are building a primary residence or a private retreat at Tumble Creek, Refine Design Architecture is the new home architect partner you want in your corner.
