A New Era of Connection

As Architects, we understand the importance of creating spaces that cultivate genuine human connections and promote well-being. We also believe in the democratic values that make homeownership, and The American Dream, for everyone, possible. And our Rhodes Architecture + Light’s firm values include ensuring the best, most broad, diverse and inclusive team of architects to bring a broad experience to all of our clients and designs. 

Our industry thrives on tangible experiences–the play of light in a well-designed space, the tactile quality of materials, and the harmony between built environments and nature. While social media has its merits, we believe that our work is best appreciated in person, where its true impact can be felt. As we engage our community through social media we want to ensure that the platforms on which we are visible and that we are supporting, also promote diversity, equity and inclusion of all people.

In light of our values, we've made the decision to step away from Meta platforms (Instagram and Facebook) and refocus our energy on meaningful interactions with our clients and community.

This decision aligns with our core values:

• Inclusive design for all, serving the whole community in as diverse and equitable a way as possible.

• Authenticity and professionalism in design and communication

• Designing warm, human-centered spaces that enhance lives and communities

• Promoting wellness through thoughtful design + lighting

If you found Rhodes Architecture + Light through a Meta platform, thank you for your support. We’ve seen our community of followers grow significantly over the last two years, and we believe they are real people who love architecture and how design nurtures our communities and our souls. Rhodes Architecture + Light has been in the industry and community for 30 years and we are here for the people we have always served.

Our question for all of you is this: Can we buy you a coffee?

Moving forward, we invite you to engage with us through:

• Our website and blog, with a library of rich content and (free) resources 

• Sign up for our e-newsletters

• LinkedIn 

• Our buildings and in-person events 

• Phone or email

• Collaborative meetings at our beautiful studio in downtown West Seattle!

By stepping back from Meta platforms, we aim to deepen our focus on what really matters–designing exceptional spaces that stand the test of time and positively impact all of the people who inhabit them. 

Our legacy is built on our ability to help others realize theirs. Whether it’s sitting across the table from you, or sharing rich, helpful content on our blog, we’re here to guide + empower homeowners in the home planning, design and building process.
