The natural beauty of this region along with a high-tech community drawn toward modern urban homes and sustainable design has led to a surge in modern architecture. From the custom to the in-fill home, local builders and architects are pushing the envelope in energy efficiency, sustainability and beauty.

Contemporary architects like Eric Cobb, Tom Kundig, Heather Johnston, John DeForest and Jim Burton carry the Modernist vision forward drawing on the lessons of the fathers and founders of Northwest Modern architecture. Local builders like Build Modern, PB Elemental and Dwell Development are building spectacular urban dwellings that connect with the energy of the location and the vibe of the neighborhood in which they are built.
