Refine Design Architecture is a licensed WA Architect studio specializing in custom residential design throughout the Methow Valley and across Washington State. Founded and led by Principal Architects Stone Faison and Julia Atkins, our team brings together deep design expertise, local knowledge, and a genuine passion for the built environment. We work in one of the most striking landscapes in the Pacific Northwest—where sagebrush flats meet alpine ridgelines, where winters are long and summers are luminous, and where the architecture needs to be as resilient as it is beautiful.
Our approach to every Methow Valley project begins with listening. We want to understand how you live, what draws you to this place, and what kind of home will serve you best through every season. From there, we develop designs that are rooted in the specific conditions of your site—oriented to capture passive solar gain in winter, shaded against summer heat, and positioned to make the most of the valley's extraordinary views. We navigate Okanogan County permitting, wildfire-safe construction guidelines, and critical areas regulations so you don't have to. And we stay with you through construction, coordinating with your builder to ensure the finished home reflects the care and intention of every decision made along the way. Whether you're planning a new custom home, a thoughtful addition, or a full renovation, Refine Design Architecture is the WA Architect partner your Methow Valley project deserves.
