Tucked between quiet lakes, towering evergreens, and the Cascades in the distance, Sammamish isn’t
just another pretty place—it’s where people build lives, raise families, and start thinking a little bigger
about what home means.
At LM Stevens Design, that’s where we come in. We help folks design homes that feel right—for how
they live today and how they want to live tomorrow.
Real Design, for Real Life
We’ve been doing this for over 50 years—across Sammamish, the Eastside, and beyond. But it’s not just
about drawing plans. It’s about listening, understanding what matters to you, and designing a space that
reflects your life—not just your square footage.
Whether you’re building from the ground up, updating a space that’s no longer working, or dreaming
about an ADU that actually makes sense, we’ll help you figure it out.
No pressure. No jargon. Just thoughtful design and solid support.
Why Sammamish Homeowners Are Rethinking Their Spaces
It’s not just about needing more room anymore—it’s about making the space you already have work
better. Here’s what we hear from local clients all the time:
➤ “We want to build a small ADU for family—or to rent out.”
➤ “Our place feels a bit cramped and dated.”
➤ “We both work from home now and need a smarter layout.”
➤ “We’re ready for a full remodel—but don’t know where to start.”
➤ “We want to make the most of our land without overbuilding.”
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
Let’s Start with the Right Plan
Jumping straight into construction can backfire if there’s no solid design behind it. Contractors do great
work—but they aren’t planners. That’s our job.
We start with design because it saves time, money, and a whole lot of second-guessing later.
Here’s how we help:
➤ Custom home plans, ready for permitting
➤ 3D renderings so you can see your space before it’s built
➤ Site-smart layouts that work with Sammamish’s light, land, and topography
➤ Energy-conscious, eco-friendly design choices
➤ Interior flow planning—because every room should make sense
➤ Project coordination if you want help managing the build
You don’t have to know what you need yet. That’s what we’re here for.
Services That Fit Real Homes in Sammamish
Custom Home Design
Every home we design is one-of-a-kind. That’s because we don’t believe in cookie-cutter
plans—especially in a place as unique as Sammamish.
From sloped lots to lakeside views, we’ve worked on it all. Need something accessible,
multigenerational, or extra efficient? Let’s get creative.
Remodels, Additions & ADUs
Have a basement that could be more than storage? Or a garage you’d love to convert into a cozy ADU?
We’ve helped dozens of Sammamish homeowners reimagine their existing space.
Here’s what we’re good at:
➤ Garage and multi-level ADU design
➤ Kitchens, baths, and small-space planning
➤ Blending new work into old homes so it feels right
➤ Helping you stay within code (and ahead of permits)
We’ll help you see the possibilities—and know what it’ll take to make them real.
Interior Flow & Layout
Great design doesn’t have to mean starting over. Sometimes a wall comes down, a window shifts, and
suddenly the whole house feels lighter.
We help you rethink:
➤ Living rooms that actually live well
➤ Bedrooms that feel bigger without being bigger
➤ Kitchens that cook (and entertain) better
➤ Mudrooms, nooks, and flex spaces that work harder
We care just as much about the feel of a space as how it looks on paper.
Garages, Shops, and Backyard Spaces
Need a space for your tools, bikes, side business—or maybe just a quiet place to breathe? We design
garages, shops, studios, and backyard buildings with the same attention we give our custom homes.
Everything we design serves a purpose and makes the most of your land—now and in the future.
Local Knowledge Matters
We know Sammamish—its rules, quirks, and natural beauty. We design with
➤ Local zoning and view protections in mind
➤ HOA and city permit requirements already built into the plan
➤ An understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) in Sammamish homes
We also offer virtual design consultations if you’re planning your move or working from a distance.
What Homeowners Are Loving Right Now
We don’t follow trends—we follow you. But here’s what Sammamish families have been gravitating
toward lately:
Living Rooms
➤ Fewer walls, more connection
➤ Natural light and earthy finishes
➤ Multi-use spaces with built-in function
Kitchens
➤ Open layouts with smart storage
➤ Clean lines and quality materials
➤ Places to gather, not just cook

➤ A feeling of comfort—not clutter
Whatever your style, we’ll help make it feel like home.
Not Sure Where to Start? That’s Normal.
Most of our clients come to us with a feeling—not a finished plan. You don’t need to know everything

and what comes next.
