The primary goal of Architecture Integrated is to provide clients with innovative home designs which  exceed their  expectations and specifications.  Prepareing comprehensive working drawings in a timely and cost efficient manner.  This ensures that clients receive the best possible service integrated with our company’s philosophy of a perfect blend of technical expertise, and the design experience of Cindy Bienz, who holds the distinction of being the first woman design houses for the "Street of Dreams".  She has performed design services for clients for nearly 25 years through her former firm The Bienz Design Group with a variety of successful projects throughout the Seattle metropolitan area and a specific focus on the Eastside.

Joining with significant local and national home builders, we achieved immediate success in the design and preparation of working drawings for single family custom and speculative residences.  The volume of houses produced by these builders has enabled the exploration of many design styles and construction methodologies as  well as expanding our scope of services to include, lot reviews for full plats.  With this, the firm now provides builder clients with recommendations regarding plan selection and lot assignment, house siting, and house or view orientation.

These expanded services in concert with the design of new homes have been integral in the successful marketing and sell-out of several developments.

In the mid 1980’s, the office transistioned to preparing all drawings with AutoCAD.  This occurred well ahead of most other architectural offices in the area, or nation, and has grown to the current level of technical experience, which continues to  exceed most.  This has enabled Architecture Integrated to prepare accurate and concise plan sets with a quality and ease in interpretation, receiving compliments from both clients and other industry professionals as well as the positive remarks from building department officials.

By utilizing AutoCAD Architectural, blended with the AI.r enhancements, when necessary, Architecture Integrated can prepare comprehensive working drawings based on each builder’s unique office standards. 

Architecture Integrated has refined their design style and project approach, with over 50 years of combined local residential experience in the office.  Providing a balance between speculative builder plans, requiring a focus on affordability and marketability, and a diverse range of custom homes, which require understanding and insight to sculpt the client’s way of life into the home, Architecture Integrated is able to successfully merge all of these requirements.

Architecture Integrated offers dedication to the design field, combined with the ongoing interest, and command of today’s technology, benefit all of their clients whether it be individual custom clients; or production home builders.
