DB2 believes that a great home positively affects the people who live in it, as well as the people who don’t. We build with a deep understanding of how spaces will be used, designing them to be comfortable and flexible. Homes that fit with the surrounding neighborhood, that, by design have as little impact as possible on the streetscape. And while our primary goal is creating high-quality, neighborhood-appropriate homes, DB2 is equally concerned with environmentally friendly building practices. By following strict Built Green principles and LEED guidelines, DB2 homes are as friendly to the planet as they are to their owners. We make design and construction decisions based on materials and products that look the best and last the longest, that minimize a reliance on natural resources, that put water and energy conservation front and center. And it’s all done with superior craftsmanship and inventive design that incorporates high ceilings, extensive trim and millwork and open floor plans. In fact, DB2 is the first design build firm to put all of their newest projects through the City of Seattle’s design review process, even when not legally required.
Founded by the team of Lukas Delen and Kelly Byrne, DB2 has been widely recognized for a lasting commitment to high quality design, innovative ideas and exceptional craftsmanship. Together they offer a unique perspective on urban building.
Lukas Delen’s architectural leadership fosters a greater appreciation not only for building aesthetics, but spatial functionality and usability. Originally from the Netherlands, he has explored architecture around the world and continues to develop his own style of modern, high-performance design. His passion for sustainability is evident in his commitment to strive for LEED Platinum certification with every project. Prior to founding DB2 in 2002, he worked as a registered project architect on a variety of designs ranging from small-scale private developments to large-scale public projects, including the addition and remodel of the Bellevue Square Nordstrom and the University of Washington
Medical Center.
Kelly Byrne brings his considerable business acumen to the discovery and purchase of future DB2 properties – and the individual possibilities of each one. Kelly is actively involved in each project from beginning to end; he coordinates with agents and sellers during the property acquisition phase, manages marketing activities, and oversees all other business operations along the way. Before forming a partnership with Lukas in 2002, Kelly spent time at a business valuation firm and worked for several years with Full House Sports & Entertainment, the business arm of the Seattle Sonics, managing the revenue side of the organization’s financials.
