Excited to announce I’m Passive House Certified!

I have completed intensive coursework and a grueling exam to up my game in designing energy-efficient homes. Washington State Energy Codes are better than most states, but they’re a minimum in the face of climate change.

Helping families who need a home

As an architect, I help clients create their dream homes. I also believe in helping those that are homeless. Mary’s Place supports families on their journey out of homelessness. When you work with me, I will donate in your honor to Mary’s Place.

We love the result!

Sheri provides a great combination of design inspiration and practical problem-solving skills. Our project had a number of technical challenges that she was able to resolve while maintaining the overall vision. She is also awesome at working with contractors. Overall she made an extensive remodel as stress-free as possible, and we love the result!

Turning a cookie-cutter house into something much more exciting

Sheri helped us with a major renovation turning a cookie-cutter house into something much more modern and exciting. She brought thoughtful, sophisticated designs and touches that still made the house feel very comfortable and even playful. She really understood our style and respected our decisions, while encouraging us to expand our horizons. Sheri was invested in getting us a great result, from our initial consult to resolving final punch list issues. Most of all, it was really fun working with Sheri! We are definitely clients for life and will be consulting her on future projects.

Sheri has been a great partner

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with Sheri on our remodel. We are putting an addition on the house to gain wheelchair accessibility, and Sheri has been a great partner, coming up with innovative solutions and helping to keep costs down. She is also a warm and caring person and has been a delight to get to know. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

We are on time, under budget and have had absolutely no surprises

Sheri Olson has been a pleasure to work with. We interviewed a number of architects but instinctively trusted her. She is genuine, warm and a consummate professional. She was always punctual and mindful of time. She was very respectful of our input and design ideas, and we valued her opinion in areas where we felt uncertain. The quality and precision of her work is reflected in the seamlessness of our construction project to date: We are on time, under budget and have had absolutely no surprises. We are doing a top-down remodel and build-out of our 100+ year-old-house, and I am particularly grateful that Sheri was able to vision a remodel that remains true to the period details of our home, yet blends with modern and practical elements.
