The practice of architecture is a highly personal service. Particular attention must be paid to the people involved in the conceptualization and construction of a successful project.

Castanes Architects presents almost thirty years of architectural work on a variety of building types throughout the Pacific Northwest. We are a small, client-oriented office with a fun, unique and constantly evolving collaborative approach to design projects.

From the initial site development, to the most intricate details, our work represents the culmination of clear communications and careful management of the expectations of our clients.

Relying on design and technical proficiency, our goal is to deliver a project that provides a positive sense of achievement for the entire project team of owner, architect and builder.
