Intentional Architecture for Northwest Living

Based in Seattle, Washington, AS Built Studio is a woman-led architecture firm dedicated to intentional residential design and the future of Northwest living. Our work is the result of a deep, collaborative ecosystem—uniting clients, consultants, and local artisans to bring each vision to life.

philosophy

Architecture Defined by Insight

We believe that great design arises from the intersection of ambition and reality. Whether we are designing a backyard cottage or a custom estate, we embrace regulatory limits as vital design inputs rather than obstacles. By pairing your vision with a rigorous analytical foundation, we produce architecture that respects budget realities, site truths, and the way you live.

our services

Custom New Construction

We craft uniquely tailored homes that translate your vision into enduring architecture. By managing the technical landscape behind the scenes, we ensure the final result is an inspired, personal space that is entirely your own.

ADU & DADU Design

We design Accessory Dwelling Units that increase density and build generational wealth. Our principled approach navigates complex zoning to create future-focused, enriching homes.

Remodels & Additions

Strategic reconfigurations that reconcile existing structures with modern purpose. We assess your home’s “bones” to ensure every addition integrates seamlessly and intentionally.

Local Expertise

Every municipality in the Puget Sound maintains distinct zoning codes, review processes, and permitting timelines. We work regularly with planning departments in Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, and Everett, allowing us to provide expert guidance on what is truly achievable on your property while anticipating review cycles with professional precision.

Our Process

The Analytical Foundation

Our rigorous feasibility study documents zoning envelopes, code restrictions, and site conditions. You receive a clear, written assessment of project viability before the design investment begins.

Purposeful Design

With constraints established, we develop architecture that responds to your program and site context. Design proceeds iteratively through collaborative reviews, ensuring the spatial logic aligns with your goals.

Navigating the Path

We prepare comprehensive permit sets tailored to jurisdiction-specific requirements. Our documentation is designed to minimize revision cycles and move your project through municipal review with clarity.

Professional Stewardship

We remain your advocate during construction, providing technical coordination with your builder and design clarifications to ensure the final home reflects the integrity of the permitted plans.

Every exceptional home begins with a conversation.

We invite you to share your vision and explore how our principled approach can bring it to life.
