“I have know Jared now for over a decade. He has great attention to detail and communication. I have worked with Jared on a couple of projects now and always enjoy his company. If you are looking for a quality designer then Jared is your man.”

“I was looking for someone deeply experienced in technical domains, (architecture, construction, and fabrication) to fit the requirements of my custom home, the Galer Street House. Thomas was tasked with production of the interior custom cabinetry and associated custom woodworking. From our first meeting, Thomas’s communication, experience and broad background gave me confidence that he would understand the complex geometries and be able to deliver the high-end quality needed for this application. From the custom handmade walnut cabinets, custom furniture-like features and being always available to help me when the details needed his attention, he delivered. I was not disappointed. In addition, when challenged by architectural details and budget constraints on the exterior of the home, Thomas, owner of Studio Walker Architects, Inc., was able to take a large burden off my shoulders with his durable design/build approach, which was substantially less expensive and also resulted in a better overall appearance. Thanks, Thomas!”

“Larry is very easy to work with, and has a lot of great ideas and helpful suggestion's. This is a first house that we have started from the ground up and he treated each of our questions with respect even if it wasn't something that could be done. He would then explain why it would or wouldn't work.”

“Renovation design for our 1910 crumbling craftsman - updated the look while preserving craftsman character. Punched out the roofline to create a dramatic front porch that casts lighting into a beautiful cedar ceiling you can see from a block away. We have the most unique craftsman on the block that is both beautiful and functional. Highly recommend!!”

“Have worked with many, many architects and builders over the years. First Lamp was simply head and shoulders above all the rest in every regard.”

““Mark was asked to submit a proposal to design a house that I was planning to build in Preston, WA. After interviewing several Architects, Mark's portfolio of previous work was most impressive. He had as many detailed drawings for the meticulous woodwork of the interior of the house (what I was looking for) as he did for the structure / exterior of the house. Since that time, Mark has supported several creative designs to include an in-law apartment and the planning of a home I wish to build in Bend, OR. His responsiveness when I have questions and the ideas he offered have been tremendously helpful and I consider him an ultimate professional in his work. I appreciate his high sense of integrity in all that he does.””

“I have collaborated with Scott on several projects and can assuredly recommend him as a fantastic architect to work with. As a client you want your architect to listen and understand your goals, to put his/her ego aside and design what is practical and esthetically relevant to you and your family, and most importantly support you through the entire experience with utmost professionalism, knowledge of the process and understanding of your budget. Scott delivers all that and more; he is experienced in a variety of styles, has creativity and skills coupled with the analytical sense to construct a solution that is not only visually stunning but delivers good cost/benefit balance over the future years maintaining the space. If you happen to review his work be it modern, traditional, or Nantucket beach-home style you will find a correlation among all of them - spaces he designs are elegant and classy without loud statements that transients through time and connects each home with their owners.”

“We collaborated with Brett Marlo Designs on a custom sliding door for one of her projects. Brett wanted to transform a nook into a study room for her customer's daughters and came to us with the idea of the sliding door. We really enjoyed working with Brett throughout the whole process. She has a great eye for design and is really good at solving design constraints. As you can see from the picture the result of her design was an amazing study space. We look forward to working with her on many projects in the future.”

“My wife and I started working with Josh to design a full second story addition to our home. Josh was fantastic to work with and incredibly timely in responding or setting up meetings! We felt like he genuinely listened to our wants and needs while also providing helpful context and examples when they arose. Josh's designs were stunning both from an exterior and interior perspective. We decided to put our remodel/addition on hold given a lot of uncertainty in the economy and our careers, it didn't seem wise to overextend ourselves at this time but we will absolutely be using Josh again once we feel more comfortable financially. We couldn't recommend Josh more!”

“On a ferry ride in Seattle, I was thumbing through a magazine when some photos of a landscape design caught my eye. After a few minutes my attention shifted to the amazing house behind it. We were looking for an architect for a Summer/Retirement home we wanted to build on three rural acres we owned on Vashon Island, WA. When I read the credits, I discovered that Bill Chester was based on nearby Bainbridge Island. I called Bill and we arranged for a brief Sunday morning, get acquainted conference call with my wife and I. Well, a twenty minute call turned into three hours of brainstorming with ideas flying! We hired Bill on the spot and never interviewed anyone else. Throughout the entire process, Bill listened to our ideas and looked at the scrap we had collected and came back with improvements on all of it. He is a seasoned professional that we were grateful to have, especially since we were trying some unusual ideas that needed to be thought out, planned and engineered properly. As absentee owners (our primary home is in Los Angeles) we felt very secure knowing Bill was on site to supervise the construction crew. To this day, we're still friends with the job supervisor, who treated the house he was building as if were his own. We could not be happier with our finished home. We've had zero problems of any kind in the four years since we moved in. The design draws lots of attention and was recently chosen for the cover of a new coffee table book on green architecture, "Leeding the Way" by E. Ashley Rooney. Very exciting! Bill was accurate and honest with the budget and always let us know in advance what some idea we had would cost to execute, so we could make an informed decision if we wanted to move forward. I would recommend Bill in a New York minute to anyone and we have. Construction went 3 months longer than we had hoped, primarily due to staff cut backs in the King County permit office and our out of the way location for inspectors to get to. Other than that, the nightmares that we were told would happen when we decided to build a house from scratch never came to pass. We attribute that to Bill and the care and planning he put in to our project.”
