At Suyama Peterson Deguchi we work in collaboration with clients and local artisans to create award winning architectural designs.
George Suyama, FAIA, founded our Seattle-based practice in 1971 and quickly became known for innovative designs that draw from the rich traditions of Japanese and Northwest Contemporary architecture. The hallmark of our internationally published work is its mastery of scale and proportion, sophisticated detailing and restrained material palette. Our pursuit of timeless and elegant design is recognized by numerous awards and established our reputation as one of the leading architecture firms in the Pacific Northwest.
Renamed Suyama Peterson Deguchi in 2003, the firm has a professional staff of 16 located in a Belltown studio that houses our offices as well as the Suyama Space (a nonprofit installation art gallery) and our new retail venture, 3 X 10. Our firm offers a comprehensive range of services from architecture to interiors and furniture design. Our award winning projects range from prized private residences to experimental retail boutiques.

We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.
provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
