GEORGE H. LOSCHKY
August 20, 1938 — May 31, 2026

George Loschky, husband, father, architect, and design partner/co-founder of LMN Architects died in Seattle, Washington after a 20-year struggle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and graduated in 1962 from the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana) with a professional degree in architecture (BArch). His early professional career consisted of employment with several Chicago firms, before moving in 1969 with wife Dianne and family to Seattle. During a 10-year employment with NBBJ Architects he held noteworthy design leadership roles in the delivery of Seattle’s Kingdome, the Baltimore Convention Center, and several expansion phases of Seattle Children’s Hospital.

In 1979, with colleagues Jud Marquardt and John Nesholm, George co-founded LMN Architects, which today is a firm of 125 professionals with nationally recognized capabilities in the design of public assembly venues, university and college facilities, and civic cultural projects. As design partner George led creative design for LMN projects delivered in 32 states and 4 foreign countries, pioneering in the development of facilities that went beyond the design of the building itself and intentionally engaged the civic setting, actively embracing a user-pedestrian relationship with the project and its urban environment.

LMN participation in significant projects of the greater Seattle region includes Seattle Convention Center expansions, Seattle Art Museum expansions, Benaroya Hall, Seattle Central Library, McCaw Hall, Vancouver B.C. Convention Center, and the University of Washington (Hec Edmondson Pavilion expansion, Allen/Gates Computer Science facilities, and the Foster School of Business). In collateral peofessional capacities George served on the Mercer Island Design Commission and as an Adjunct Professor of the School of Architecture at Montana State University. In recognition of Loschky’s overall contribution to architecture and the design leadership of LMN, in mid career (1993), he was honored with elevation to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA).

In addition to his career in architecture, George was an active participant in the Northwest natural environment as a competitive sail boater, Alpine skier, and high-country backpacker. But his avocation passion was model railroading, hand crafting the detailed architectural layouts of his model settings.

George is survived by his wife, Dianne, and sons Mark (LeiMomi), Eric, Kirk, and John, plus six grandchildren and one great grandson.
