Our team of Architects in Seattle approaches each building as distinct, presenting unique opportunities. As Residential Architects and modern home designers in Seattle, we believe in simple solutions based on individual dreams, honest materials, orientation, color, and textures of the site. We seek to produce contemporary and interior designs that function smoothly and surprise, encouraging thought and discussion about the structures around us.

Our Architects work throughout the Seattle area with our clients to explore their personal architectural needs and desires. We believe that residential architecture should accommodate the people who use it. Our Seattle Architect's work is current yet incorporates traditional elements and materials. We seek to create warm, comfortable spaces that embody the local craft, climate, and a human sense of shelter.

Because the owners are a young family who like to entertain informally, the main floor is mostly one large living/dinning/cooking area finished in simple materials, such as stained concrete floors and a sealed concrete kitchen counter. There are four bedrooms and 2 baths. The judges particularly liked the home's rear glass faade, and found the main floor's open space very pleasing.

I have had the privilege of working with Tim Rhodes and the Rhodes Architectural and Light team on many projects over the past twenty plus years. As a structural engineer, I work with many of the design firms in Seattle and I can whole heartedly say that RAL represents the highest level that the architectural profession has to offer. I am constantly impressed with their thoughtful approach to each building, balancing beautiful design, functionality, and budget considerations. All of which is quite a feat that they make look simple. Tim is excellent at articulating the project goals to both the

The end result was more than we could have hoped for, with a design that functions well and looks amazing. Their plans were comprehensive, including everything from structural steel to paint and flooring finishes.
Moreover, the team was a pleasure to work with. They were

Tim Rhodes and his team created a fantastic cutting-edge design for our major remodel, using timeless materials for the exterior that need no maintenance -- yet are beautiful and blend well. Tim worked closely with us to develop a graceful interior with large windows and decks that look out over Puget Sound, as well as smart lighting inside and out, a unique bending staircase railing, warm fireplaces, and an overall feeling of comfort.
Our neighbors love our home. So do we. Thank you, Tim.
