Your Partner in Residential Design & Transformation
Hello, I’m Rick—your architect.
As a West Coast native now calling Seattle home, I understand that a house is more than just a structure; it’s a backdrop for your life. My goal is to help you unlock the full potential of your space, whether that means breathing new life into a historic kitchen or expanding your home to meet the needs of a growing family.
Why Work with RHW Designs?
While my background includes large-scale master planning and complex institutional projects, I choose to focus my independent practice on the personal scale of residential architecture. This “large-firm” technical precision ensures that your home project is handled with a level of detail and foresight typically reserved for multi-million dollar developments.
I specialize in helping homeowners navigate the unique challenges of the Pacific Northwest, including:
• Custom Residential Additions: Expanding your footprint while maintaining architectural integrity.
• Kitchen & Bathroom Transformations: Balancing high-end aesthetics with daily functionality.
• DADUs & ADUs: Creating smart, secondary living spaces for family or rental income.
• Permit & Code Navigation: Guiding you through the complexities of Seattle and King County building departments.
A Collaborative, Calm Approach
The design and construction process can feel overwhelming. I pride myself on a calm, respectful demeanor and a commitment to clear communication. I’m not just here to hand over blueprints; I’m here to be your advocate from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
My experience with a wide range of materials—from warm wood and glass to modern steel and concrete—allows us to explore a design language that feels authentic to your personal style and the character of your neighborhood.
