MAKE Design Studio, LLC

MAKE Design Studio is a Seattle-based architecture and green building consulting firm founded by Nicole Starnes Taylor. Nicole was first attracted to architecture for its power to inspire. She founded MAKE Design Studio to create spaces that fulfill her passion for design, construction and green building. With experience in net zero energy and green building projects, MAKE seeks projects that step lightly on the land and create a connection to community and place. At MAKE Design Studio, our design process is focused on creativity, efficiency and thoughtfulness. You will undoubtedly learn a tremendous amount about design and construction through the process we foster and enjoy. We have an excellent team of consultants and contractors to recommend as needed for your project. We look forward to learning about our client's interests and experiences and design a project based on their values and the unique qualities of their site. We work on a variety of project types and scales including: small and large remodels, new homes, multifamily projects, commercial spaces and public projects. Most of all, we enjoy a challenge. Limited budgets, tricky sites and outrageous requests foster our creativity. We use a variety of tools during design including hand sketches, drawings and computer models. The use of three dimensional computer models has empowered our clients to better understand the design process and reduces surprises during construction. MAKE Design Studio is currently a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), NW Ecobuilding Guild, Congress of Residential Architects (CORA), the 1% and Architects Without Borders.
