Encore Architects

A central node for work, life, and play. Located in North Seattle's Roosevelt district, Fireside Flats offers welcoming community, convenience, and seamless connection to the surrounding neighborhood. Named for the prominent fireplace feature in the main lobby, the building's design coalesces around communal comforts, modern amenities, and walkability to Roosevelt's commercial core and its future light rail station. Elegance across an entire city block. Located in First Hill, a dense residential area of low-rise brick buildings and mature trees, Broadstone Saxton offers sophistication and convenience steps from downtown Seattle.

Early on we decided that having designers own the practice was important to us. We want everyone here to act like an owner: making decisions with the long-term outcome in mind. Every project team includes at least one owner and at least one licensed architect. We directly empower the good people here through small project teams, transparent communication, and as little hierarchy as possible. We believe that the integrity of this social fabric is relevant to the quality of our buildings. A democratic culture and a broad-based ownership model make us distinct among architecture firms, but it's our thoughtful, invested people who make us truly memorable.
