Wittman Estes

Wittman Estes came from the realization that in our cities and surroundings, buildings and landscapes were being designed as separate entities. The rapid densification of American cities, and the climate crisis were at the forefront of people's minds, but the way buildings were designed was stuck in the past. Modern housing, despite its ambition to elevate quality of life, was too often internalized and object focused, and in sharp contrast to people's love of nature and a lifestyle that valued a connection to the outdoors. We set out to offer clients an integrated design process, foregrounding sustainability, smooth thresholds between inside and outside, a richness of natural materials, and most importantly, how people live in and experience the built spaces they inhabit. We are a dedicated team of architects and designers focused on bringing your project from concept through finished construction and lived reality. We have built a collaborative community of allied professionals to design, permit, and build projects with the goal of bringing the highest quality finished product for the least cost and fastest timeline. Wittman Estes is an innovation leader in prefab architecture, with completed projects throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, and New York, and have been published widely including Dwell, Dezeen, ArchDaily, Gardenista, and Luxe. Our work has been featured in galleries and exhibits in Seattle and San Francisco, and is recognized for national and international awards including the 2021 AIA National Housing Award.
