Welcome to our Seattle studio

We’re in the fastest-growing city in the U.S., so it’s only natural that we’re fast on our feet. For 15 years, we’ve nimbly led the design of prominent projects in the Puget Sound region and beyond, including Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Wyoming. And we’ve proudly done it for some of the world’s most innovative clients. Surrounded by nature’s beauty—from the picturesque Puget Sound to the iconic Mount Rainier—we’re inspired to design beautifully and sustainably, no matter where we work.

One of our latest interiors projects, MCG Health, a Hearst health data analytics and software company, was featured in Office Snapshots magazine.

Recognizing that the project would be completed post COVID, the hybrid work model influenced the design. The office layout allows about 200 square feet per workstation with unassigned seating and increased collaboration spaces including phone rooms, small huddles, booths, working lounges, and conference rooms of varying sizes. As a centerpiece, a moss garden lies beneath the stairway connecting the work lounges. The design of the office space also features transparent walls that create visual connections across the floor to maximize views and daylight. Within the building core, colorful unique focus rooms provide a private environment for heads down work. The design of the new office has been a strong influence for recruiting and celebrates MCG’s company vision and success.

“Business doesn’t exist to make a profit; rather, business makes a profit to exist in service of a bigger mission,” says Chip DeGrace, director of design purpose at @Interface, describing their founder’s holistic approach to business.

For Interface, responsible investing around ESG—short for Environment, Social, and Governance—is the key to becoming a carbon-negative and restorative enterprise. The company had this in mind when it worked with us to design its new headquarters, an adaptive transformation in Atlanta, Georgia: 93% of the building's construction waste was diverted, recycled, or donated, and its curtain wall and interior finishes have low embodied carbon. These are just a few of the project's sustainable design features.

Visit Insights to learn more from Chip—as well as EY’s Jennifer Leitsch, managing director of climate change and sustainability services—about how architecture and design can support an organization's ESG goals. Link in bio.

We will be presenting two of our projects: 601 W 5th Ave in Anchorage, Alaska and Federal Reserve Bank in Seattle, Washington at the Renew Reuse Virtual Summit this Wednesday, November 16th.

601, a 50-year-old building damaged by an earthquake, has been reimagined as an iconic tower inspired by ice and light. The Seattle Federal Reserve Building, built in the 1950s, has been revitalized with the addition of 7-stories to the existing base while paying homage to the traditional architectural style.

The conference will feature case studies and speakers focusing on topics of historical preservation, adaptive re-use, and renewal.
