Christian Gladu Design LLC

Christian Gladu Design (CGD) has been designing custom homes, ADUs, and residential remodels since 1996. Based in Kingston, Washington, we work throughout Jefferson and Kitsap Counties, the San Juan Islands, the Olympic Peninsula, and the greater Pacific Northwest, including extensive experience with waterfront and coastal projects.

Our practice is grounded in a hands-on, construction-informed design approach. We regularly work alongside builders through feasibility, design, and permitting, with a clear understanding of site development, estimating, sequencing, and jobsite conditions. This results in drawings that are clear, coordinated, and buildable.

Projects are developed using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and fully coordinated 3D models, supporting accurate documentation, consultant coordination, and efficient construction. Our experience spans a wide range of building systems, including ICF, timber frame and post-and-beam, conventional wood framing, CLT, volumetric prefab, and panelized prefabricated wall systems. We collaborate closely with builders, engineers, and consultants to streamline permitting and reduce friction during construction, with an emphasis on durable detailing and long-term performance.

Whether supporting a builder-led design-build project or partnering on a custom home from concept through construction documents, we value strong communication, practical solutions, and being a reliable part of the project team.
