improving lives through thoughtful and vibrant design in modern and sustainable projects
CAST architecture is a Seattle-based firm with extensive experience designing contemporary spaces throughout the Northwest. Specializing in modern and sustainable projects, the firm is committed to improving the lives of individuals, families, and communities through thoughtful and vibrant design. Founded in 1999, CAST has created inspired places within the residential, commercial, and public sectors.
We offer a full range of architectural services to homeowners, businesses, municipalities, and institutions that include site analysis, feasibility studies, master planning, design, documentation, and construction administration. Our work is guided by five principles:
DRAW INSPIRATION FROM PLACE
Our surroundings and our community inspire us. We love this region and endeavor to create spaces that embody its unique vitality, intelligence, and lifestyle. Our work responds with intuitive solutions that make the most of the sensitive environment.
EMBRACE COLLABORATION
Collective insights drive CAST’s design process with results that transcend the ordinary. We form strong relationships with project participants. We listen to needs, explain concepts and work together toward a vision that reflects values we collect along the way.
ELEVATE THE PRAGMATIC
CAST designs for the real world. We work within budget, schedule, climate, and site constraints to elevate the design. We find efficiencies and meet challenges with inspiring solutions. Our projects are remembered for their unique aesthetic and livability.
ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY
Buildings have a profound effect on the human experience. We engage the community with enthusiasm to evoke emotion and encourage interaction. People feel heard. Concerns are addressed. Concepts are born.
COMMIT TO POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT
Our design only truly works when CAST has the opportunity to create lasting benefits for people and our planet and when the community embraces the result. Emerging concepts are our passion but our recommendations are grounded in reality.
