MN Custom Homes Rebrands as Azori Amid Pacific Northwest Expansion

Founded in 2011, the company built its reputation on a high-touch, collaborative approach that fuses architecture, interior design, and construction under one roof. Co-founders Joe Naeseth and Shaun McFadden stated that the new name—derived from the ancient word “azor,” meaning helper—is intended to emphasize their commitment to a service-oriented, client-first experience that extends well beyond the initial move-in date.

While the name is new, the operational structure remains consistent. Azori continues to manage projects from concept to completion through its dedicated home care program, focusing on long-term building performance rather than aesthetic appeal alone. This transition marks a pivotal expansion for the brand, which aims to export its specific blend of craftsmanship and hospitality to new regions while maintaining the standards established during its decade-and-a-half tenure in Bellevue.
