About

With 38 years experience as a principal in Architecture and the Construction industry, we enjoy being a productive asset to any project with the goal of facilitating a successful outcome. We truly love creating opportunities for development projects and coordinating the design-build process to completion.

Since 1980, we have managed property development, including design and construction, for residential and commercial projects. During that time, we have developed 60% of our projects, while the remaining 40% were completed through third-party contracts. The value of our projects have ranged from $50,000 to $10,000,000.

Northwest Architectural specializes in successfully coordinating all aspects of a project from conception through to completion with numerous professionals to meet the project needs through ongoing relationships. 

Currently licensed in Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.

design-build

In addition to our architecture firm, we own and operate a boutique construction company, BCS Batiment LLC, which specializes in high-end residential and light commercial buildings. Our position as both a licensed Architect and General Contractor gives us a unique ability to see our projects from conception to completion, and we love the opportunity to walk with our clients through each step of the building process to ensure their needs are met from Day One to Day Done.

Although we believe there are many benefits to having the same team working through the entirety of the project, Northwest Architectural does provide architectural services independent of BCS Batiment, and we are happy to work with any other construction companies—whatever best suits the needs of the project and client.
