Thanks for clicking on the URL in my Twitter profile. Here’s a little something about who I am and what I do.

My name is Rick Anderson and I’m the guy behind The Hungry Architect blog - although Laura does a lot of the research for it.

I’m 49 year old native Seattleite (I was a “Patches Pal” and can still sing the theme song to “Wanda Wanda“). Laura and I have been together for nearly 16 years. We have 4 wonderful daughters; two attend Western Washington University, one attends The Evergreen State College and the baby is a Junior at Meadowdale High School.

My Work

I’m an architect, working out of my home in Edmonds. I’ve been in the business for over 25 years and been a registered architect since 1993. My practice consists primarily of designing homes for individual homeowners, builders and developers.

The Hungry Architect Blog

The Hungry Architect blog is about designing single family homes in the Pacific Northwest. It is intended to provide ideas, resources and expertise to folks considering designing a new home or remodeling their current home. Somewhere along the line, after doing this for over 25 years I decided I had ideas worth sharing and opinions worth expressing. So that’s what I do. Here you’ll find articles written by me and links to websites and resources that I think are valuable. I hope you find it useful.

The chances are if you’re here, you clicked through from Twitter. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll find one line design ideas (10 characteristics of good front porches), occasional personal comments, links to valuable resources and notification of new blog posts. I follow anyone in the Pacific Northwest who has something occasionally interesting to say. Outside this area I follow folks I find particularly informative on architecture, green building, web design, writing, art, blogging, journalism, marketing, wine and mountaineering. If you fall into any of these categories I’d love to follow you.

If you haven’t done so already you can follow me on Twitter here.

The Hungry Architect Website

www.hungryarchitect.com is my website. There you’ll find examples of my work, driving tours of homes we’ve designed in the Puget Sound area, and a detailed description of my services and fees. Some of the multi-part articles that I’ve written on the blog have been reformatted into a single cohesive article and located on my website as well. Those articles are also available for download in PDF format. Some of those articles have accompanying worksheets that are also available in PDF versions.
