a creative practice for making, learning, and discovering, where the experimental process is as valuable as the outcome.

studio

beyond the surname, it’s the norwegian word for a “cultivated space” - a reflection of the connection our designs hold with nature and craftsmanship.

hagen

studio Hagen is a Pacific Northwest-based architecture and design firm dedicated to creating spaces that foster connection between people, nature, and community. grounded in the landscapes and materials of each place we work, our work is guided by curiosity and craft. licensed to provide professional architectural services nationally, studio hagen is proud to be a certified woman-owned (WBE) small business.

our design philosophy is rooted in the concept of “place-keeping” — working in harmony with the environment rather than imposing on it. we believe that meaningful design emerges from a deep understanding of context. guided by the patterns and rhythms of the natural world, our work highlights the textures, imperfections, and enduring beauty of honest materials.

each project is an exploration of scale, detail, and form, and is shaped through collaboration. we balance intuition with innovation, allowing listening and learning to guide the design process toward solutions that are simple, functional, and enduring. driven by both rationality and curiosity, our work reflects a deep respect for the land, a passion for material integrity, and a belief that design has the power to positively enrich the human experience.
