The Norsk Tradition

Our story spans two continents and three generations. A master furniture maker from Norway, Karl O. Drøpping immigrated to Canada after World War II; ultimately settling in Seattle. He was soon building custom homes utilizing the skills and attention to detail only a Svendebrev master furniture maker could accomplish — combining uncommon craftsmanship and a value in unequaled workmanship. Karl established the guiding and core principles on which Norsk is founded.

These principles were passed on to Per Drøpping as he grew up working along side his father. Over a span of thirty years and over 3000 projects, Per and his wife Patti built upon the foundation initiated by Per’s father. In 1991 they brought there son Karl into their business and instilled these same ideals in him. Today he continues those same values and traditions.

Karl J. Drøpping, President of Norsk Design~Build, has built on the traditions of previous generations in the industry. His company Norsk Design~Build, offers an unparalleled Design~Build method, that focuses on keeping his clients in control throughout the design and construction process. By harnessing the best in both technology and people, Karl continues to create an unsurpassed client experience which would make his grandfather proud.
