North Sound Architecture

Richard did an amazing job brining our vision to life! We are so happy with how our summer house on Lummi Island turned out. Richard was professional and accommodating throughout the entire process even through the inevitable hiccups working with our builder. Richard knew what questions to ask us in the beginning and had our number from the start!

Richard was a tremendous partner for my major remodel project. He met with me well before 'breaking ground' and listened to my desires and vision for the expanded master suite - that were accurately reflected both in the design and the space. Since the age of the house prevented a conventional approach, he worked with the engineer to come up with an innovative solution. He was my advocate for the permitting, when searching for the right contractor for the job, and throughout the construction. I would definitely hire him for my next project that demands his top-notch design services and professional touch.

Hiring an architect is a daunting proposition. You have to establish a relationship, often for a year or more, with an unknown person who is going to determine where and how you live for the foreseeable future, and spend a great deal of your money in the process. Having just emerged from that experience with Richard Broderick, I can say truly you will be in good, intelligent, skilled, and caring hands. From initial consultation through the conceptual development, getting to a set of working plans, getting the requisite engineering and geo-tech work done and getting the necessary permits approved and signed off, Richard was completely committed to our project. But it didn't stop there. He also followed throught the entire construction and finish process, being our advocate with the contractor, consulting with us and the contractor on the myriad of changes that inevitably occur along the way to building a custom house. To say we are pleased would be a huge understatement. We would recommend Richard Broderick without hesitation for any architecture project.

We are currently building our home on Orcas Island and highly recommend Richard. Richard has done an excellent job creating a beautiful, artistic vision for our custom project. He has provided support and inspiration throughout. We had specific ideas of our own and Richard listens to all our points of view to help us accomplish our needs and desires. He is mindful of the environment and local issues. Richard is always taking into consideration our goals, style and budget, we would recommend Richard for any project based on excellence in design, and exceeding customer expectations. Hiring him was an excellent choice and we would recommend his services.

We wanted an architect with local connections and a collaborative approach, and we found it. Richard worked with us every step of the way and helped us turn a fuzzy vision into a beautiful design that takes full advantage of the view site. He’s responsive, great to work with and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

We hired Richard to design a custom home. He did a great job of incorporating our wishes and needs into a beautiful structure that also fits well into the surrounding neighborhood. His availability, flexibility and responsiveness throughout made the process go smoothly. We get many compliments on our home from both friends and strangers. Having lived in it for almost a year, there's nothing that we feel was left out or that we would change. We heartily recommend Richard.

Richard Broderick designed for us a single family house on San Juan Island. The application of his sensitivity to the natural setting, artistic vision and appreciation of functionality resulted in the most comfortable and beautiful house. Prior to construction we've heard that it was a very stressful endeavor and yet with Richard's positive attitude, flexibility and creative assistance building our own home became very rewarding. Richard Broderick's services were timely and affordable. He was attentive to every detail and worked very well with our builder providing clear instructions and clarifications as needed. His understanding of financial constrains allowed us to build on budget without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the house

Richard designed our cabin in Winthrop Washington. He was very sensitive to our needs. My mom had vision problems and we asked if there was a way to balance the light coming in from the large windows so there were no dark shadows that she could not see into. He came with a lovely mock up of his plans, we made some alterations and he designed the perfect cabin for us.

I have been in buildings he has designed and I am very impressed. I am awed by Richard’s style - clean, crisp, contemporary, making the most of view opportunities and space optimization. I will definitely use him when I am ready for a remodel, and I highly recommend you contact him for at least a consultation. I will be surprised if you don’t sign on after that.
