Chris Pardo Design - Elemental Architecture

I'm a contractor that has done work on projects designed by Chris. His designs are clearly fantastic and as a builder I've noticed he uses clever and creative design ideas in working around functional building issues. If you want an architect that will give you a truly amazing and buildable design, you've found the right guy. -RP

Chris Pardo Design - Elemental Architecture does great work. In 2006 my wife and I were shopping for our first home when we were introduced to Chris and his talented team. The end result was a 3,000 sqft modern in-city home that delighted us and readers of Seattle Metropolitan's 2007 Best of the City issue. As twenty-something first-time buyers, we never imagined award winning design was within our reach. Chris Pardo Design - Elemental Architecture's timeless designs combined with modern efficiencies like an Accessory Dwelling Unit and eco-friendly materials resulted in our ability to sell our house this year for a profit - something very rare for circa height-of-the-market 2006 purchases. People that have worked with Chris Pardo Design recognize that the team's talent goes far beyond architecture. They blend their experiences designing for all types of use - a boutique hotel, a swanky bar, a luminescent night club, a reclaimed farmhouse and more. Their understanding of the construction process and local suppliers meant that our house was completed on time and on schedule. While budget is important to anyone these days, as a first-time home owner it was an imperative. But the Chris Pardo Design team didn't design to a number, they collaborated with us, an interior designer we hired, and their builders to find simple and elegant solutions to meet our needs. And yes, the math worked too. So if it was so great, why did we move this year? With a larger family and shifting needs, the Chris Pardo Design - Elemental Architecture team helped us find and re-imagine a historic home to begin our next (bigger) adventure in Seattle.

This design group is one of the most innovative in Seattle and come highly recommended. Besides working with them on my own project, I have several clients that have worked with on commercial and residential projects in the past.

Chris Pardo is a genius with architecture and interior design. I have been impressed with Chris's availability via email, txt and phone. Very modest and easy to discuss ideas or changes with him. I think we will see Pardo becoming an icon in the architecture/design in the coming years. I am very glad we were able to have Pardo involved with our dream house.
