Scott Allen Architecture is located in Seattle and Bainbridge Island and serves clients worldwide.Award-winning Seattle architect and fine artist Scott Allen is known for crafting innovative designs that take the “chill” out of contemporary architecture and ensures modern house designs and civic spaces in which people love to live, play and work. Whether a client is considering building a house from the ground up, remodeling, or other home design or building plans, Scott brings his clients a deep hands-on understanding of built structures and infuses that knowledge into the design process from concept to completion. The results are house designs and civic architecture noted for their elegance, enduring design and warmly personalized spaces.Scott’s approach balances rigorous process with strong design intuition. He begins by developing an understanding of his client’s design ideas, their specific needs and the unique qualities of the work’s location to establish a strong conceptual framework. The strength of these ‘bones’ allows the design to evolve naturally as the more detailed aspects of the project are developed. This collaborative process helps Scott create architecture that truly responds to all the factors that influence it – from the big idea to the subtlest nuance.Scott founded Scott Allen Architecture in 2009 after many years as a named partner in his Seattle-based firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects (OSKA).
