Luke has spent the past 15 years immersed in the art of architecture—developing what one client called a “rare combination” of astute design sensibility, technical know-how, and client-centric service. Luke’s experiences span the country, ranging from rural and coastal estates, homes in garden districts and urban areas, historic renovations, institutional buildings such as schools and churches, hospitality, and commercial mixed-use buildings. In each circumstance, he applies a passion for design and a genuine desire to make people happy. As another client stated, “He has impeccable taste and [aesthetic judgment] – which combined with his architectural skills and passion result in the collaboration of a lifetime.”

"Was not a simple house to have built, the design had way to many errors. Elevation was not to scale and once built it started to show, that it was not to scale. If you like looking at A post out your window or a gutter in front of your window. Then this is the team for you. Fascia from gable almost touching the door trim. Just a mess. Luckily the framers could fix some of it. They did a quick redesign of the roof."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the customers needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Josh has always been prompt and communicative with every interaction we've had. I initially got in touch with him about new construction design questions, and when we discovered that our current home porch posts had rotted through due to faulty design by the original home designer, Josh jumped into action. He had his engineer and construction crew to our door within 24 hours to take a look and put together a plan. He took my design ideas and brought them to life. He was transparent about all parts of the cost (to include his profit), and gave us to option to lower the cost by hauling away debris and painting the porch (which we were more than willing to do). Any delays with the work were met with a phone call and followup email if he didn't get through to either my husband or I immediately, and the construction crew did very high quality work. We were beyond pleased with his customer service! We will definitely use Revival Home Designs in the future when we decide to build our forever home."

CB Anderson Architects, PLLC, is a 5 person - 15 year old firm on Phinney Ridge in Seattle specializing in single family (new - additions and remodels), commercial, multi-family and restaurant projects. We look for the best solution to match the client's needs, including sustainable design solutions. Please call us to request a free 45 minute in-house consult and/or to ask for example projects.

"I worked with CB Anderson Architects after receiving a permit for a remodel revision. When I needed to make post-permit changes and was no longer working with my original architect, they stepped in and took the project forward. They helped me transition to a full tear-down and rebuild of my 1920s beach cottage, coordinating closely with my structural engineer, city reviewers, and contractor. Craig and his team were clear, professional, and supportive throughout. Amir was a thoughtful and steady collaborator. He made sure revised plans captured every detail, communicated effectively with the city and contractor, and kept everything organized. He was responsive, easy to work with, and approached the project with real care. Most importantly, I felt heard. I highly recommend CB Anderson to anyone navigating a residential project that demands flexibility, precision, and a team that truly has your back."

Architects questions, answered by experts

A blueprint is more detailed than a floor plan. There are different types of floor plans, one of which is a type of blueprint view. However, the blueprint will contain more information about that plan and is drawn to scale. Most residential floor plans give homeowners a simplified view of their construction project, while blueprints have all the details to turn that plan into reality.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

The cost to draw up housing blueprints ranges from $800 to $2,700, depending on several factors. Blueprints for a custom home cost between $5,000 and $20,000, and extraordinarily complex designs can easily surpass the high end of that price range. The experience level of the architect will also affect the cost, as more experienced professionals can charge higher rates. 

Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.
