Locraft Architecture is a residential studio that focuses on carefully considered design as a direct response to clients’ needs, context and style. Each project is an opportunity to create beautiful spaces that support and elevate the experience of home.

Growing up the son of an architect — and being genuinely interested in both the technical and the creative sides of the profession — I have vivid memories of pulling a stool up to my father’s drafting table, and observing (and absorbing) all that I could. On the occasion I’d accompany him to a site measure or meeting, I saw first-hand the value of a keen attention to detail, a patient demeanor and a passion for the work.

That these traits were evident in my father was not surprising; the son of an architect himself, he was instilled with the desire to create, and the power to visualize. A product of a different era, he was also raised on the notion that integrity is everything, and that projects thrive on a mutual respect for everyone involved in the process, from the framing carpenter to the end user.

It is with these inherent values that I approach my work, and I take my responsibility to the community — as a citizen and as a professional — seriously. A Locraft has been practicing architecture in Washington for most of the last hundred years, and it gives me great pride to carry on that legacy.
