Nice people. Mad skills.

We are obsessed with the idea of enjoying what we do. It’s our mantra that governs how we design and help you bring your project to reality. It may sound simple, but we’re just nice people (with mad skills) that want to work with other nice people (like you) that are passionate about their project dreams and goals.

While Bench Dog Architects is new, our team has been designing projects across the globe for 30 years. 

Our portfolio includes large to small and mixed-use to specialized projects.

Seriously though.

We’re taking what we’ve learned and catering it specially for you through an ultra-collaborative process.

Together we will develop a design for your project that caters to your user, improves ROI, and ultimately speaks to you.

We have worked on a sizable amount of project types. 

We like that. It allows us to serve our clients with multiple needs and multiple types of clients. Here's just a few:

Also, there's these too:

…maybe too much to list here.

Did we mention that we are award winning designers, LEED accredited, FitWel ambassadors, board members of industry organizations and universities, volunteers for non-profit organizations, licensed in multiple states in the US, and love living in Seattle, Washington?
