What Wolfe Architectural Group does

Wolfe Architectural Group (WAG) is a privately held, full-service architectural, planning, and interior design firm headquartered in Spokane, Washington, founded in 1999 by Russell Wolfe. The firm operates from a single studio at 1015 N Calispel, Suite B, with a team of approximately 17-18 professionals including principals David Wilde (AIA) and Russell Wolfe, architects, interior designers, architectural associates and interns, drafting specialists, and business and marketing management. WAG holds architectural licensure in eight jurisdictions (Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and the District of Columbia), allowing it to pursue projects across the Inland Northwest and Mountain West. Its core service lines cover architectural design, interior design (space planning, FF&E specification, material selection), and urban/site planning, delivered through an open, interactive studio environment with direct client collaboration from concept through construction administration. The firm uses industry-standard software including Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and 3D modeling tools, and has delivered LEED Gold and LEED Silver certified projects across healthcare, government, commercial, and nonprofit sectors. WAG earns revenue through project-based professional service agreements, with fees structured on scope, complexity, and square footage via hourly or fixed-fee arrangements. Its customer base spans enterprise (Washington Trust Bank, Global Credit Union, Avista Corporation, Hilton Garden Inn, Best Western, Gonzaga University), government (GSA, Department of Veterans Affairs, Kalispel Tribe), nonprofit/NGO (Ronald McDonald House Charities, Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, Inland Empire Residential Resources, Wonder Spokane), and SMB clients across the Pacific Northwest. New business is generated through a consultative, referral-driven sales motion supported by a portfolio website and industry award recognition.
