Cascade Built

At Cascade Built, we believe in the power of collaboration, creativity, and commitment to redefine the future of living. Our passion for sustainable and energy-efficient building practices has led us to become pioneers in the Passive House movement in Seattle. We are dedicated to transforming the built environment by creating high-performance, multi-family buildings that require little energy for space heating and cooling, while providing superior comfort and healthy indoor air to our residents.

Our founder, Sloan Ritchie, has been a driving force behind this movement for nearly two decades. His commitment to deconstructing the idea that there's only one way to build has led him to explore and deliver a proven path of high-performance construction and buildings that developers want and consumers are beginning to demand. Our approach focuses on science-based building, which meets the compelling demand for energy efficiency and significantly reduces global greenhouse gas emissions.
