Grinstad & Wagner Architects

Grinstad & Wagner Architects, based in Bellingham, Washington, was founded in 1994 with the belief that architectural design is a collaborative effort. Our team of architects works together to develop and critique design concepts, resulting in projects that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also add value to the community.
