About
Thoughtful homes. Clear process.
Washer Architecture is a residential architecture practice focused on custom homes, renovations, and high-performance design. Led by architect Chris Washer, the practice helps homeowners turn early ideas into thoughtful, buildable, and deeply personal places to live.
Designing a home is both an emotional and financial investment. It requires trust, clear communication, and a process that helps make decisions feel less overwhelming.

About Chris
Chris Washer is the owner and architect behind Washer Architecture. His work focuses on residential design, high-performance homes, and clear technical documentation that supports better construction outcomes.
Chris approaches architecture as both a creative and practical discipline. He enjoys the early conversations that uncover how a client wants to live, but also values the detailed work required to turn those ideas into coordinated drawings, buildable details, and clear decisions.
Through Washer Architecture, Chris works directly with clients to guide projects from early vision and site planning through design development, construction documents, and construction support.
What Guides the Work
Three values shape the way each project is approached.
Listening First
Good design begins with understanding. We take time to learn how you live, what you value, what your site offers, and what constraints need to be addressed before design decisions are made.
Thoughtful Performance
A successful home should be beautiful, comfortable, efficient, durable, and responsive to its site. Performance is considered early, alongside layout, light, materials, and daily livability.
Clarity Through Detail
Clear drawings and careful coordination help protect the design intent. Good documentation creates better decisions, better communication, and a smoother path to construction.
