WHO WE ARE

Ahouse is an architecture studio based in Seattle. 

We are passionate about designing homes that celebrate everyday life.

We are dedicated to backyard cottage design and alternative housing solutions. We produce ready-to-permit architectural drawings and construction documentation, and custom designs. Our homes accommodate different family types, feature thoughtful design elements, and incorporate responsible and local building materials. To make them cost-effective, we maximize lot coverage and layout, create efficient floor plans and make them easy to build.

We believe that high quality architecture can be compatible with small, affordable homes.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer the following services: standard plans or ready-to-permit architectural drawing sets and permitting assistance, construction documents, signature details and outline specifications.

If you wish to customize part of a design or have us help you through the permit and construction process please get in touch and we can provide a price estimate.
