Recommendations
Praise and kind thoughts about Hazelrigs Architecture’s work.
Arthur Fukura, Boulder Associates, Previously SABArchitects
Our architecture firm has had the pleasure of working with Colleen for many years. She is thorough and fair and I highly recommend her.

If you are looking for an organization to support your every need, offer creative ideas “That Work”, perform as they said they would, and finish with a successful result, make them your 1st choice. I did and the results are amazing. I could not have been happier!
Andrew Dinh, Dinh Investments
We used Hazelrig’s architecture services to help us obtain a permit in Kent for commercial stairs in our commercial building. Colleen is really good at communicating and is extremely professional. We got the permit and are very satisfied with her services. Highly recommended!
Jeff Chaney, Kidder Mathews Executive Vice President
Colleen was instrumental in helping a mutual client finalize a lease transaction with her expertise on design and permitting. She was very professional and I greatly appreciate her ability to appropriately represent the client, in this case the Landlord, in communicating potentially sensitive information about the building and project to the City. She helped contribute to the successful real estate transaction with her timeliness of services and work with the end user, assisting them to feel satisfaction with their space. Her expertise with working with the City of Kirkland to work through some tough permitting processes was of significant help. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her services to others.
Angela Gee, Owner Dean Alan Architects
Colleen is a very detail oriented architect and keeps the client’s goals in the forefront of every decision. Her problem solving skills and ability to efficiently work through a design project are of a great asset to any client.
I had the pleasure of working with Colleen on multiple commercial tenant improvement projects while at Hazelrigs Architecture, as well as more recently in partnership on other projects.
Guiseppe Cipolla, Architectural Interior Designer
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Collen who was my Manager for Interior Architecture projects while I was the Senior Designer.
Colleen’s vast experience and expertise implemented significant changes in the Interior Architecture process. Her comprehensive knowledge and understanding of technical, organization and leadership, coupled with an even keel makes her a true professional and great mentor.
I was incredibly fortunate to learn and sharpen my own design skills in working with Colleen. I hope that one day our paths cross again and I have the opportunity to work with her once again.
Dan Crandall, Former Senior Designer and Project Manager
Colleen Hazelrigs was a colleague and associate of mine at Marvin Stein & Associates during the 2002 to 2005 period. We worked together on several high-profile corporate interior planning and design projects. I remember Colleen as an excellent project manager who was passionate about green design. She has a sharp analytical mind and good communication skills.
I am pleased to give her my high recommendation.

Despite the bubble bursting in the development world, Colleen runs an architecture business that tripled its profits over the last year (2009)! She has a unique blend of business acumen, design excellence and a deep and abiding knowledge of sustainability—not just environmental, but economic and social as well. She really gets it that sustainability is about prosperity too! You can believe it when she says “We see it as our purpose to support your business in creating an environment that supports your staff and the planet, thus supporting the health of your business.” If you run a mid-sized business or lease to tenants who do in the Seattle area, you can’t afford not to hire her!
While it can be all-consuming to launch a successful architecture business, she took time out to help me with my business plan. She’s a great friend too!
