About
Jane F.
We engaged Rhodes Architecture + Light to assist us with a major remodel of our home. From the beginning they hit the perfect balance, combining their creative and innovative ideas with our wants, needs, and input. They took the time to learn the way our family works, and found ways to incorporate our lifestyle into their plans. The end result was more than we could have hoped for, with a design that functions well and looks amazing. Their plans were comprehensive, including everything from structural steel to paint and flooring finishes.

When I’m hiring an architect, I want them to understand our company's vision and point of view. I want them to be able to think around corners (that we don’t anticipate) and make good judgements that reflect our project goals. In working with Tim and his team we had the peace of mind that comes from their focus and commitment. They put their heart into the project and its what sets Rhodes Architecture + Light apart from their competition.

Tim and his colleagues have been amazing to work with while we built our custom home out in Fall City. Through the design process, set backs with King County, and the actual start of the project, they have been hands on and helpful walking through this with us. Their style is a perfect match with ours and was thrilled with the results. We have been enjoying our home now for a few years and still love it!

Tim Rhodes and his team created a fantastic cutting-edge design for our major remodel, using timeless materials for the exterior that need no maintenance -- yet are beautiful and blend well. They worked closely with us to develop a graceful interior with large windows and decks that look out over Puget Sound, as well as smart lighting inside and out, a unique bending staircase railing, warm fireplaces, and an overall feeling of comfort. Our neighbors love our home. So do we.
