Susan Olsen has assisted clients in the Pacific Northwest with the design and execution of unique private residences, ranging in size from small to large, sited on modest city lots as well as unique waterfront properties. She has also provided design services for a broad range of commercial projects, from mixed-use residential buildings, to residential developments, to office and technology spaces.

With a first-hand understanding of both what makes comfortable inspiring residences and the importance of project budgets, she balances the skill of creative design with financial responsibility to achieve elegant solutions for her clients, no matter what the project size or site context… city, town or rural setting.

Susan brings clarity and simplicity to the complex design issues of a project, leading clients through the decision-making process with thoughtful questions and evocative sketches, to bring projects to successful completion… the realization of a client’s vision

Ken Olsen has assisted clients throughout the Pacific Northwest with the conception, entitlement and realization of development projects ranging in size from 5 to 500 acres. Often a leader of  multi-disciplinary teams on complex projects, he is able to infuse the process of decision-making with a spirit of co-operation and discovery, and above all to achieve the implementation of projects through consensus and commitment.

Leading private sector developers have been able to manage their property portfolios more effectively and seize opportunities to fulfill their business initiatives due to his leadership on both conceptual and implementation levels.

Cities, towns and ports have engaged Ken to bring focus to community goals and to lead stakeholder groups through a rigorous, interactive and conclusive community planning process resulting in positive outcomes for both the public and private sectors.

“Susan and Ken offer their clients the benefit of a unique teamwork style, bringing a view from both sides of the design equation based on a wide range of experiences.

The art in their design lies in its simplicity, and reflects their on-going passion for elegant design solutions.”
