Introduction: Honoring Our Foundation
At John Buchan Homes, we believe that the finest homes are built not just with tools, but with values—integrity, dedication, and love for the craft. But our story also begins with something more: a passion for winning. My father, John Buchan, didn’t just want to build—he wanted to build better.
That pursuit of excellence began in the garage and on the water, long before it reached the job site.
From Hot Rods to Homebuilding: Fueling a Legacy of Excellence
My dad’s journey into building began not with blueprints, but with hot rods and hand-built boats. As a young man, he worked alongside my grandfather, an accomplished boatbuilder, absorbing the discipline and precision that marine craftsmanship demands. That early training instilled in him a fierce drive to master whatever he touched.
Driven by both artistry and ambition, he went on to found a homebuilding company in 1961 that would redefine quality and design in custom homes in Bellevue, WA, and throughout the Pacific Northwest. His passion for detail, design, and performance still shapes everything we do.
A Legacy Carried Forward
I still remember sailing with my dad when I was six. There’s a photo of us together—wind in our hair, smiles on our faces—that captures not only a moment in time, but a deeper truth. His love for craftsmanship wasn’t just about buildings or boats—it was about creating something that brought people joy and connection. That spirit continues to guide us.
Today, we build luxury custom homes in WA that reflect the same care and attention to detail. And though our tools and technology have evolved, our commitment to excellence has never wavered.
