ABOUT US:

We are a wife-and-husband engineering partnership, grown from our shared passion for good design through elegant problem-solving. Each with over a decade of structural design experience, we bring together our strengths to find the BEST solutions.

Our varied history of work includes architecture and construction of all sizes, from residential remodels and additions, to large-scale whole-house renovations; custom homes to mid-rise multi-use developments; seismic evaluations to full-scale retrofit and adaptive reuse of historic buildings.

These are our strengths:

Collaboration

Engineers aren’t typically known for their communication skills… but you can talk to us! We’re known to be accessible, thoughtful, and transparent. We see that successful projects are marked by a high level of collaboration between all stakeholders.

INSIGHT

We have ideas and we’re not afraid to use ‘em! From early scope studies and schematic design, to design development and construction, we bring ideas and insight from our past experience.

DETAILS

“The devil’s in the details…” so they say… and that can certainly be true. But our eye for details brings them to light before they become devilish. Whether complex or simple, exposed or hidden, we celebrate the little things that make it all possible.

EXECUTION

Every design is tested during construction. Constructability is key! In our designs, we strive to consider the challenges of the crafts people that execute. And when it’s all happening, we’re known for our creative and pragmatic construction solutions.

 

We work out of the upstairs studio in our Central District home in Seattle, WA.
