An Uptown building with World’s Fair flair. Siteline, a development blending residential, office, and retail under one roof, sits at the confluence of Lower Queen Anne, Denny Triangle, and South Lake Union. This mixed-use Uptown community draws inspiration from neighboring Seattle Center—the civic hub originally developed for the 1962 World’s Fair—by weaving in history, context, and arts into the design.
Timeless elegance on First Hill. Nestled between First Hill’s quiet residential streets and Capitol Hill’s energetic Pike-Pine corridor, The Victor joins a neighborhood of eclectic new residential towers and classic low-rise mixed-use buildings. However, the site’s immediate architectural context is a tree-lined avenue of stately brick apartments and Seattle’s First Baptist Church, an ornate chapel built in 1910 that has since been designated as a city landmark. Our goal was to design a timeless, high-quality structure that blends seamlessly with its surrounding area.
Private amenities mixed with public access. A mixed-use development located on the waterfront in Bremerton, close to the ferry terminal and downtown. With views of the water and Puget Sound ferries, as well as the Olympic mountains, the project’s siting is unparalleled.
We aim for a flexible and responsive process, and we avoid any prescribed aesthetic outcomes. Sensitivity to each project’s context and goals is what makes our projects successful – for our client-partners, for the community, and for us internally. We structure our project teams to support this by keeping them small and cooperative, assuring that our teams are nimble, stay on the same page, and propagate positive relationships with our client-partners. We believe that the integrity of this social fabric is relevant to the quality of our work.
We’re employee-owned, with over half of our staff owning a stake in the firm. All of our shareholders are licensed in-house architects; we want the decision-making in our business to be rooted in on-the-ground thinking. This un-siloed approach to individual ownership results in stronger client relationships, better documentation, and a firm-wide ethos of long-term thinking.
