Custom Mountain & Waterfront Homes Designed for Nature and You
Holos Architecture + Design is a Pacific Northwest-based studio founded on the principles of biophilic design, specializing in modern, sustainable homes tailored to mountain and waterfront environments. Our process begins with comprehensive site analysis, examining natural elements such as light, topography, and vegetation to inform the orientation and conceptual direction of every design. Through iterative sketches and models, we explore spatial possibilities that harmonize with the landscape, prioritizing client well-being.

We foster open communication among clients, consultants, and builders to achieve innovative, ethical solutions that enhance daily living. With expertise in both private residences and commercial projects, we are licensed in Washington State, British Columbia, and Florida, focusing on site-responsive architecture that nurtures mind, body, and spirit. Our commitment to transparency and sustainability ensures that each project reflects the individuality of our clients while maintaining environmental stewardship.
