About us

We have a strong appreciation for sustainable concepts, proper contextual fit, and the elegance of clear, comfortable, and modern design solutions. Architecture should be exciting. It should engage you. It should be practical, efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective. We think of Architecture as a blend of art and engineering, as sculptural elements that are as thought-provoking as they are elegant. Your decision to invite an Architect to assist in your endeavor is an important choice, and when you choose Franklin Architecture, we are honored to be on your team. We will work diligently with you in striving to exceed your expectations. Over the course of his career, Bill developed his passion for the clear and honest expression of northwest-modern design principles. By leveraging views and daylight with expanses of glass, providing appropriate protection from the elements, incorporating dramatic and efficient space planning, and utilizing durable, low-maintenance materials, he is able to create Architecture that is timeless and elegant. Equal in his passion for Architecture, Bill has a strong affinity for our natural environment and stewardship of the earth. By carefully considering building placement, site context, new technologies, and strategic use of building materials, he strives to create Architecture that not only exceeds project goals, but also leaves a lighter imprint on our earth.

My beautiful Franklin-designed deck is under construction now. The cedar and cable-rail creation will bring a sophisticated, functional and contemporary outdoor living space to my midcentury rambler. While this is a small job for an architect, Bill Franklin never treated me as a small client. He was courteous, extremely generous with his time, answered every question and thought up creative options to meet my budget. My builder says Bill's drawings are remarkably clear, and Bill has been on site to look in on things and confer almost every day of construction. I have referred FRANKLIN | Architecture without hesitation to others, and at least one of my friends has now also worked successfully with the firm. Cost noted above is for the full project including materials and construction. The architect's fees were extremely reasonable, delivering value far exceeding the amount charged.
Description of Work: Design of a new contemporary deck, railings, and landscape integration. The original deck, built in the 1950s, needed replacement. FRANKLIN | Architecture integrated a new enlarged deck and railing design with the existing steel column structure. A decades-old kiwi vine uses the new railing as a trellis, thanks to an ingenious system of outriggers on the deck stanchions that Bill Franklin devised after consulting with a landscape expert about the plant's requirements.

Bill made the entire process easy for me. I was initially uncertain if I needed an architect but once I saw the drawings/plan for the exterior remodel I knew it was money well spent. The curb appeal of my house has improved dramatically and so has the value. Much more than if I would have utilized a contractor exclusively.
Description of Work: Updated house with new exterior siding, and new design of porch/front entry.
