Pacific Northwest Firms Redefining Residential Scale
Among the studios reshaping how the Pacific Northwest thinks about domestic architecture, StoneArch stands out for its insistence on site-specificity and material restraint. Their Cascade Ridge project is a masterclass in working with topography rather than against it.

The Fern & Stone office in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood proves that the post-pandemic workplace doesn't have to choose between productivity and beauty. StoneArch Studio designed a space that feels like a well-considered home — which is exactly the point.
