OUR FIRM
Adams Architecture is a Seattle-based architecture practice founded by Anne and John Adams in 2014. We endeavor to create buildings that are contextual and compelling, beautiful and thoughtfully executed, and direct yet intriguing.
Our firm offers an unusually broad range of architectural expertise in both residential and commercial design. We partner with our clients in a highly personal approach, offering straightforward, value-oriented service packages that allow the focus to remain on creating outstanding architecture.
Adams Architecture believes that our most successful projects find common ground among our clients’ desires, the particulars of the site, and our aesthetic approach. We are passionate about this. It’s our philosophy that the best designs happen where these three areas overlap. We welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your architectural needs.
