We believe good design puts people and place first. Clients are collaborators and the starting place of any good design.

We design across the full spectrum of residential work: renovations, additions, interiors, and ground-up homes. Regardless of scale, our approach remains the same: attentive, collaborative, and grounded in thoughtful planning and material craft. We look for the story inside each project; the way light moves through a room, the rituals that define your days, the opportunities hidden within constraints.

Why work with us:
Because we offer the focus of a small studio with the rigor of professional architectural practice. We listen closely, design intentionally, and guide you through the process with clarity and care. Our goal is to create spaces that feel honest, warm, and deeply personal; places that grow with you, support you, and reflect the life you want to live.

Dacha Office is not driven by size or spectacle. We’re driven by the quiet ambition to make homes that feel right


Dacha (pronounced DAH-chuh) is a Seattle based design practice centered on the idea of home as a place of meaning.

A dacha is a retreat; a place to slow down, gather, create, and reconnect. Over time, the word came to represent something larger: a vision of the life you want to build, and the space that holds it.

At Dacha Office, we carry that idea forward.

We believe homes should feel intentional and expressive, shaped not just by architecture, but by the people who live within it. Our work is guided by clarity, restraint, and a deep respect for atmosphere; the quiet qualities that make a space feel like it belongs to you.

    Kyle Keirsey

    Founding Partner

    Kyle arrived in Seattle via the American South. Born in El Paso and raised across Texas and Georgia by a family of architects, he learned early on that design is both a profession and a way of thinking.

    While earning dual degrees in Architecture and Interior Architecture at Auburn University, Kyle joined the Rural Studio. This hands-on program in West Alabama allowed him to design and build for under-resourced communities, grounding his practice in the belief that architecture is a vital tool for care, equity, and connection.

    Before founding Dacha Office, Kyle honed his skills at ZGF, Best Practice Architecture, and SHED Architecture & Design. His portfolio spans corporate headquarters, custom residences, restaurants, and retail environments, with work featured in The New York Times, Dwell, The Local Project, and The Seattle Times.

    Active in the local design community, Kyle serves as Chief Marketing Director for Space.City, helping to bring global design voices to the Pacific Northwest.

    Outside the studio, he spends his time renovating his home, designing objects, writing, and cooking with his husband, Anton, and their dog, Mishka.

    Morale Officer

    Mishka is our resident morale officer, known for his unwavering enthusiasm for new people, places, and projects. His greatest passion is “ball,” followed closely by supervising site walks and inspecting for treats. He brings joy, curiosity, and a touch of chaos to the team; exactly the kind of energy every good design office needs.
