Tell us about your business
From bespoke commercial interiors to custom homes, to vibrant mixed-use developments and community spaces, we partner closely with our clients to transform ideas into thoughtful, lasting environments that support the way people live, work, gather, and grow. Our work is shaped by the unique people, cultures, and context behind every project, resulting in spaces that are functional, timeless, and deeply connected to the communities they serve.
Why did you join the Chamber?
We joined the Chamber to deepen our connections with our community and fellow local businesses, build meaningful partnerships, and contribute to the continued growth of our region. As a community-centered design practice, we believe strong relationships are the foundation of thriving neighborhoods and a resilient local economy.
What do you value most about being part of our local business community?
What we value most is the opportunity to learn from and support other business owners who are equally invested in making our communities stronger. Whether through collaboration, mentorship, or simply championing one another’s work, we’ve found that our greatest successes often come from the relationships we’ve built along the way.
What’s new or on the horizon for your company in 2026?
2026 has been an exciting year of growth for La Union Studio. We’ve celebrated several project openings across the region, expanded our work in community-centered commercial and residential design, and recently celebrated La Union Studio’s 8th year business anniversary, as well as our co-founder, Sergio Legon-Talamoni, earning his architecture license after a multi-year journey. Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue designing spaces that reflect the unique stories of the people and communities we serve while growing our impact throughout the Puget Sound region.

La Union Studio has helped us connect with people from the community that we were not in connection with before this project, which allowed more people to know Chebogz's story and legacy. They also have your back when issues rise and they do it in a way that doesn't scare the clients. They care!
