chadbourne + doss architects

At chadbourne + doss, we believe great architecture starts with people—their ideas, their stories, and the way they live. Founded by partners in life and design, Lisa Chadbourne and Daren Doss, our practice is built on curiosity, collaboration, and craft. From city streets to forest retreats, we design thoughtful, enduring spaces throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond—places that feel at home in their surroundings and reflect the people who inhabit them.

Our approach is personal and hands-on. We work closely with our clients to uncover what inspires them, then translate those ideas into spaces that are both practical and poetic. Whether it’s a family home, a creative workspace, or a one-of-a-kind retreat, every project is designed to elevate daily living with a balance of function, warmth, and joy. From the first sketch to the final detail, we’re deeply involved—guiding the process with care, creativity, and clear communication.

We’re intentionally small, which means you’ll work directly with us—the firm’s principals—every step of the way. That focus ensures every project feels tailored, transparent, and grounded in trust. Our low overhead and high engagement allow us to put your investment where it matters most: into design quality and craftsmanship. We like to say that we design with heart and build with intention—creating spaces that last, connect, and inspire. No ego, no jargon—just good design that feels like you.
