Architecture + Design llc
OUR STORY
We are Sara and Jeremy Imhoff, the owners and founders of Imprint Architecture + Design. Since we met at the University of Minnesota Architecture program over 25 years ago, we have been dreaming about, designing, and creating architecture. We have been in your shoes...twice. First with a DIY renovation of our 1918 bungalow in Seattle, and then with a new-build in the historic city of Stillwater, Minnesota. It’s not easy and we know it. We’ve lived it. We have dreamed your dreams, we took the leap, and we have been rewarded.
OUR SHARED VISION
At Imprint, you will find our strength lies within our partnership and our decades of experience. Your vision is our vision and you have our undivided attention. Your project is always at the forefront of our minds, focusing our energy into every aspect of its design. We pride ourselves on being open and accessible. With our guidance from concept to completion, we ensure that your vision transcends above the ordinary.
MEET THE TEAM
SARA IMHOFF, AIA
Principal | Owner
Registered Architect; Washington and Wisconsin
In 2008 Sara founded Imprint Architecture and Design, LLC in Seattle, WA with the goal of creating meaningful, engaging, voluminous architecture that is of its time and also timeless. In 2000 Sara graduated from the University of Minnesota receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture and Art History. She then headed west where she and Jeremy enjoyed the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest for over 15 years. Now, re-established in Minnesota, her designs are imbued with the lasting imprint of that region's architecture and surrounding landscapes.
Sara’s experience encompasses not only residential architecture but a wide variety of projects including libraries, galleries, and various LEED accredited single and multifamily homes. Sara enjoys the intimacy of each design along with the individuality of each client, working closely together to tailor quality spaces that enhance their daily lives.
