Studio Nocturne is an award-winning architecture and design firm serving private and commercial clients in the Pacific Northwest. With a passion for landscape, architectural history, and art, Studio Nocturne creates innovative and sustainable designs that reflect the unique needs of each client and the surrounding environment.

We are founded on the belief that architecture extends beyond the functional; it has the power to evoke a sense of wonder,inspire us daily, and shape our lives. We approach each project as a unique opportunity to create something exceptional. 

Great architecture is an expression of understanding.  Understanding our client’s needs, ideas, and dreams, as well as, understanding the constraints of site, material, time and cost.  We're here to listen, stimulate, and guide you through the process.
