Soniat Architecture provides custom design solutions for residential and commercial clients.

When selecting an architect, you want to work with someone who is a good fit for you.  When you hire Soniat Architecture, you work directly with us, the principal designers, not lower-level staff or designers.

We work efficiently and communicate effectively to develop a design strategy that best suits your site, your building, and you.  With your help, we create environments, interiors and exteriors, that satisfy your functional needs and are exciting, dynamic spaces in which to work and live.  In addition, we work with contractors and other construction professionals to help you end up with a well-designed project that meets your needs and works with your budget and time frame.

We are your counsel and your advisors from the start of the design until the end of construction.


Soniat Architecture was the heart and soul of our home renovation. Our ideas were transformed into the most efficient and cost effective design. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to our project exceeded our expectations. We plan to use Soniat Architecture on future projects, and we give them our highest recommendation.
— Jen & Mike S., client
Architecture must first be functional, practical and economical… yet accompanied by undertones of meaning and beauty. Anna and Will worked creatively within these parameters to weave together our objectives. Ultimately, the experience and design exceeded our expectations.
— Edgar M., client
Our experience with Mr. Soniat was both pleasant and professional. He heard our concerns and wishes and was responsive to our needs. In the end he designed the home that we wanted. If we ever build another home we will definitely hire Will Soniat [of Soniat Architecture].
