seattle Public architects

What if we could strengthen our social infrastructure to support everyone?

We believe in the power of design to elevate the public realm.  We believe public spaces are at the center of our social infrastructure and can be designed to create and support healthy communities.

We design libraries, clinics, cultural spaces and civic buildings. As a community focused design firm we are committed to providing good design for all and believe that the public realm deserves truly innovative architecture.
