Elevating Seattle Living
OUR STORY
We started Olsen Anderson with a simple belief: homes should be built with the highest standards of design and craftsmanship — because life depends on it.
Rooted in Seattle and inspired by Scandinavian values, we design homes that feel bright, livable, and lasting. Our founders grew up in families of shipwrights and fishermen, where lives depended on precision and craft. Every joint mattered. Every square foot had a purpose. That legacy shapes how we build today: thoughtful design, compact utility, and no shortcuts.
We don’t build for volume. We build for real people, in real neighborhoods, with a standard that reflects both our roots and our future.
WHY S.M.A.R.T.™ HOMES
Every Olsen Anderson home is shaped by five guiding principles:
-
Scandinavian - Clean lines, natural light, and a sense of calm. Our homes connect people to nature and prioritize human comfort.
-
Modern - Efficient, all-electric systems, flexible floorplans, and tech-ready design that fit the way Seattle lives today.
-
Attainable - We believe great design shouldn’t be reserved for luxury alone. Our homes balance aspiration with accessibility.
-
Refined - Craftsmanship is in our DNA. From our shipwright heritage to today’s construction, every detail is intentional and enduring.
-
Timeless - We build with materials and design choices that stand the test of time, ensuring your home feels fresh for decades to come.
This framework guides every decision — from site selection to construction detail.
Rooted in Place
Seattle is more than where we build — it’s who we build for. We choose neighborhoods with character, walkability, and soul: Ballard, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Capitol Hill, and beyond.
Our homes don’t just fit in — they elevate the neighborhood around them. Through thoughtful design, enduring materials, and modern systems, we raise the standard of living while respecting the history and spirit that make each community unique.
