The African Cultural Arts Center (A.C.A.C.) is a local non-profit organization in Seattle, Washington whose mission is to preserve and share the rich traditions from West-African Cultures.

The Garfield Super Block in Seattle, Washington is a gathering place at the heart of the Central District Neighborhood. It is a historical city-wide destination, a space with a rich history of events, people, and a legacy of cultural diversity.

One of our partners decided that he was going to schedule in an hour every day after ‘school’ to sketch/doodle/design some quick, loose designs for cabins. Why cabins?

As the days slowly get longer again, it is a good time to take a look back and see what we got up to this past year. This year has been filled with great clients and collaborators and we have been privileged to work with outstanding people throughout the year. To all of those who trusted us with their homes, businesses and institutions and to all of those who worked with us to bring these great projects to life : Thank you!
