“They drew the house around two old cedars we wanted to keep. Three winters on, it still feels like it grew there.”
About
A small studio of architects and builders
Larchwell began in 2009 as an architect and a finish carpenter who were tired of handing drawings over a fence. We're fourteen people now, still at one table in Kirkland, and we take on about six homes a year so each gets our full attention.
- Licensed architect in Washington (lic. 11023, sample)
- General contractor, licensed, bonded and insured (WA reg. LARCHDB901, sample)
- Built Green and Passive House trained
- Two-year warranty on every build
