ABOUT SEQUEL ARCHITECTURE

The Sequel Origin Story

Sequel Architecture + Interiors launched in mid-2020 (yes, if you’re doing the math, right at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic).  Turns out it was the perfect timing to be doing something DIFFERENT than everyone else!

Everyone was trapped inside, living… and working… in their homes most of every day, and we saw a real opportunity to help people make GOOD DECISIONS about how they want their homes to work for them.

We quickly realized that our unique combination of CONSTRUCTION expertise, DESIGN sense, and PERSON-CENTERED process translates well across the board.  We now help people navigate confidently through the design and construction process on a broad range of project types including: homes, restaurants, office finish, retail, community planning, religious, new construction, and entertainment.

Layered on top of this is a 25-year love of historic rehabilitation and adaptive reuse.  In various capacities, we have lead design, approvals, and historic tax credit work on more than 300 buildings!

Today, Sequel Architecture + Interiors “lives” in a locally landmarked building that we renovated ourselves.  We have several employees and regularly complete architecture and interior design work on projects totaling more than $4 million each year!

DEFINE SUCCESS

This means finding agreement on everyone’s motivations, goals, constraints, and needs. Before proposing deisgn solutions or assuming we know the “right” answers, we establish the framework for making decisions.

This important effort ensures that you are confident that we are making the right decisions at the right time throughout the whole process.

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY

Sequel Architecture will communicate clearly with you as the client (good news and anticipated hurdles). We take the time working through design and detailing to proactively plan for permitting approvals, and construction.

This important effort ensures that you are confident that we are making the right decisions at the right time throughout the whole process.

FIND MEANING

Every construction project is an expression of confidence in the future… You are investing time and effort (and money) to create something.

We will help you make sure that your investment is worth it. We accomplish this by finding and celebrating the things that make each project unique… and turning those discoveries into great design..

Design Clarity

At Sequel Architecture, your successful project (whatever the type) is all about clarity. In pursuit of this clarity, we avoid “architect-speak” as much as possible. Of course, our work aligns with standard architectural practice, but that’s just the wrapper.

We tune the process to the specific needs of YOUR project – whether it is a kitchen remodel, custom home, historic rehabilitation, new development, accessory housing unit, restaurant, commercial tenant finish, mixed-use, multi-family, or other unique endeavor.

It’s a client-centered process that STARTS with a no-commitment chat. Are you ready to take the first step to a successful project? Let’s see if Sequel is a good fit. Click the button below to schedule an appointment to talk about your project with us!
