First Lamp Architects
Seattle architecture with Passive House expertise and unusually deep construction knowledge inside the design studio.
What they're known for
A Pacific Northwest practice where certified Passive House designers and builders use building science as part of everyday residential architecture rather than a specialty add-on.
First Lamp Architects is a Seattle practice working across custom homes, multifamily, and select commercial projects throughout the Pacific Northwest. The office includes Certified Passive House Consultants and a Certified Passive House Builder, and its residential work repeatedly uses airtight envelopes, high-performance windows, heat-recovery ventilation, heat pumps, and low-emission materials. The firm’s construction background gives its high-performance work a practical edge: details are developed with an unusually close understanding of how they will actually be built.
