Our projects connect people to place and to one another, helping enrich their surroundings and build a better experience, together.
We are a Seattle-based architecture, urban design, and interiors practice with a transdisciplinary, research-based approach shaped by the particularities of each project. Our teams regularly include a mix of architects, interior designers, urban designers, sustainability experts, and design researchers to match project vision with in-house expertise.
Arts + culture projects are aspirational spaces that bring people together. Our deep experience in the design of performing arts centers, cultural arts districts, and museums has honed our rigorous technical approach to these complex spaces, where we create integrated, flexible environments that foster creativity and engage communities.
Convention centers have the potential to make significant and multifaceted contributions to the life of a city. As critical community assets for public convening, these projects foreground functionality, access, and resilience. Our transdisciplinary approach combines architecture, urban design, landscape, interior design, environmental graphics, and public art to create future-ready elements of cultural urban infrastructure.
Educational environments are living organisms that generate connections within academic communities, and between institutions and their surroundings. We create spaces for learning and research that respond to site and context, foster spontaneous social engagement, and meet the evolving needs of a diverse, interdisciplinary student body.
Transportation networks are essential civic assets that contribute to long-term community resilience. Our work is rooted in a deep understanding of each project’s technical needs as well as their broader urban potential, striving to integrate seamlessly with their physical and social environments. We innovate transportation projects that go beyond functional needs to establish accessible, culturally relevant places.
Urban design projects lay the groundwork for a more integrated, human-centered city. Our multidisciplinary urban design approach imagines new possibilities for human interaction and experience, framed within the many intertwined built systems that support city life. Partnering with community stakeholders, our process prioritizes equity, sustainability, and connectivity.
Each mixed-use project has the potential to transform the cultural landscape of its context. Our approach prioritizes healthy and welcoming mixed-use projects that integrate with their surroundings in generative ways. Our forward-looking projects, from towers to campus headquarters and neighborhood places, have transformative impacts on users and communities.
