Who we are
Hey, we’re Handshake — architects based in Seattle. Our projects range from small side-projects, to major industrial buildouts, and everything in between.
We believe that the spaces humans inhabit provide much deeper value than simply shelter — they’re where we learn, explore, and become. Artistry is often forgotten about in the field of architecture, commonly replaced by domineering function, or cliche stylings. It’s our mission to create places that spark presence: Allowing oneself to simply be, and start to appreciate the moment, exactly where it’s at.

Contact
Think we might be a good fit for your upcoming project? Reach out — we’d love to talk details and see how we can help.
We have multiple models of engagement: We can work directly with individuals for private residences, partner with builders and contractors on corporate projects, or simply be involved in the planning process. No project is too small, but we generally prefer to work in sprints with a 3-6 month minimum duration. If you have any questions or ideas, we’d be happy to schedule a consultation.
