You’re Stepping into a Whole Notherworld…
.
Notherworld Projects is a Seattle-based architecture and interior design studio creating bespoke interiors, furniture, and objects rooted in story and experience.
Recognized as one of the Pacific Northwest's leading design firms, we work with residential, hospitality, and retail clients from concept through completion, drawing on our full-service team's deep expertise in architecture, art history, project management, and custom fabrication.
Our approach is rooted in a deep respect for the artisans, fabricators, builders, and fellow designers we collaborate with every day. Driven by a design process rather than a singular style, this ethos of listening and guiding allows us to create freely and responsively. We embrace the future while honoring the past, crafting spaces that feel layered in the unexpected yet deeply familiar.
