Living Shelter Design
Terry was easy to talk to and rather than being full of her ideas, she was really curious about our ideas. It seemed important to her and it was a real genuine connection. Our design signature is expressing your personal character in relationship with the natural gifts of the site. That being said, our homes and community buildings tend to be traditional in form with modern finishing touches.

Take a look at some examples of our work here - perhaps you'll see something that echoes your own style. Our experience in working with Terry Phelan was exceptional! Her talents go far beyond what you would expect from a traditional architect. She has a team that truly listens to your goals, and makes them happen!

In doing so, they will surprise you with unexpected spaces that impart a very comfortable feel, usually only found in older homes. Creative, knowledgeable, professional and a joy to work with - highly recommend! We can't recommend Living Shelter highly enough.

My husband and I met Terry at the remodeling home show in Seattle in January. We are in the process of either buying or building a new home, we haven't decided which. We made an appointment to meet at our home which was her request. She showed up late to the appointment claiming she couldn't find the house, but my husband saw her in our driveway. She arrived without a portfolio or other examples of her work. During the meeting, we gave her many ideas of what we were looking for, but she offered us no sketches or other ideas. When she left, she offered to email us a few stock floorplans

I am an interior designer and I have had the pleasure of working with Terry on many projects. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable about sustainable building, and is a genuinely wonderful person. I highly recommend Terry Phelan.
