If you've been searching for residential architects near you on Mercer Island, our team—led by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins—brings the expertise, local knowledge, and collaborative process your project deserves. Mercer Island is a distinctive place to build. Its wooded hillsides, waterfront parcels, lake views, and proximity to Seattle create both extraordinary opportunities and meaningful design challenges. Critical area setbacks, steep topography, shoreline regulations, and the City of Mercer Island's permitting process all require careful navigation. We know this landscape well, and we know how to design homes that belong here. Our services cover every phase of your project: feasibility studies to confirm what can be built on your Mercer Island lot, custom home and floor plan design that responds to your site and lifestyle, home additions and renovations that honor the character of your existing home, energy-efficient design, interior design, 3D rendering, and full building permit assistance through the City of Mercer Island. We also prepare detailed construction drawings that give your contractor everything needed to build with confidence. Our process is personal, transparent, and built around you. We listen first, design second, and stay engaged through every phase of construction to make sure the finished home matches the vision we developed together.
