Jensen Design Architecture, a full service 20-person architecture and interior design firm located in downtown Redmond, Washington, takes pride in delivering quality and value to our development clients. Our familiarity and experience in hotel, retail, multi-family and senior housing design extends across many market segments.

These projects demand quality design at every level. Whether it’s the composition that makes up a building’s facade, the right proportions needed for a comfortable space, or the perfect lighting to capture a mood, the design must perform. Our full-service approach with both architecture and interior design carries strong design principles from the exterior to the smallest details within, while still managing the cost and budget tracking throughout the entire design process. We apply the fundamentals of a memorable guest experience in planning every aspect of a project. Our singular purpose is to deliver an experience that is beyond expectations.

Over our firm’s 24-year history, we have had the good fortune of collaborating with some well-known architects in the US. We pride ourselves in establishing good relationships with other architectural firms and combining the expertise that both firms bring. These include Robert AM Stern in New York and Olsen Kundig Architects in Seattle.
