LAURA KRAFT ARCHITECT is a small Seattle-based firm which, for the past eighteen years, has specialized in the design of residential remodels, additions and their surroundings.

I believe a home can be designed to be a near-perfect reflection of the values, needs and desires of those who live in it.

My approach to the architectural design process starts with listening, understanding and articulating my client's needs, use patterns and aspirations.

I welcome the challenge of discovering the potential of existing spaces.

Sustainability and efficiency are at the core of my designs.

Bring us your house design problems. We can provide solutions.
