e|b schneider architects

e|b schneider architects is a small Seattle-based residential architecture firm dedicated to creating modern structures that reflect the unique character of client and site.  Our goal is to deliver thoughtful, responsive solutions tailored to each project with an exploration of:

client.  We are dedicated to every client and project, providing personal attention from start to finish. This ensures consistent design and keeps each client’s needs at the forefront.

site.  Our projects are designed to respond to the qualities of each site—its topography, climate, and ecology. By thoroughly understanding and respecting these factors, we create buildings that are responsive to their environment and are uniquely specific to their site.

collaboration.  We foster strong partnerships with clients, consultants and contractors. Partnering encourages open communication and simplifies sharing of knowledge and skills.  This collaboration nurtures efficient, successful projects.

design.  Our direct approach to design is inspired by a simple and clear expression of construction itself.  Our roots in residential construction ground our work in practical knowledge and deepen our respect for the craft of building.

models.  We create hand-made three-dimensional models as a core part of our design process.  Physical models offer a tangible connection to the building and site, fostering a deeper understanding of the evolving design.
