Thoughtful design for commercial environments.
We’ve honed our service offerings to help you navigate your project with ease.
From offices and coworking spaces to hotels, cafés, restaurants, and retail, we strive to make your space something you, your team, and your guests enjoy.
We approach commercial design through an integrated design lens, customizing the right balance of architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture services to meet your needs with an ego-free, client-centered approach. Whether you’re in the process of selecting a location, exploring tenant improvement options, or considering developing an entire building dedicated to commercial business, we can take the guesswork out of the process with our team of passionate commercial designers.
From feasibility to visioning, through design, and onto permitting and construction — we’re here for you, however you need it. Wherever you’re starting from, we have the expertise to get you where you want to go.
Strategic Visioning
We support you from the beginning with concept and feasibility-level discussions, along with cost planning to help you see what’s possible early on. Plus, we can connect you to our trusted network of contractors and builders for a thoroughly-vetted vision from the start.
Master Planning
Master planning efforts benefit from the holistic approach of our integrated team. We’re adept at strategic visioning, engaging stakeholders, and leveraging shared goals to align interests, facilitating future development.
Navigating Code & Permitting
Navigating municipalities and jurisdictions is a breeze with our team, who are fluent in the commercial sector’s complicated systems and processes. We revel in creative
problem-solving, from finding outside-the-box design solutions to harnessing specialized technical expertise to resolve complicated permitting issues.
Pre-Leasing & Test Fits
Test fits, walk-throughs, and other pre-leasing services with our team can help you understand your options and manage unknowns before you sign a leasing contract.
Pre-Opening Services
We support business operations before you open, with tools and recommendations that make communicating with your jurisdiction, inspectors, and others easy and straightforward, preparing the way for project completion.
Post-Occupancy
After your doors are open, we can provide ongoing
operational, maintenance & equipment, programming, and project specification updates to accommodate scaling as you grow your business.
Creative Partnerships
Through years of bringing custom projects to fruition, we’ve developed a network of creative partnerships with furniture designers, artists, lighting designers, metal fabricators, and more. So, when adding custom pieces helps the vision sing, collaboration is a breeze.
Values-Driven
Led by a values-driven, client-first approach, we believe transparency is paramount to project success. We love sharing knowledge and welcome you into any aspect of the design process you’re curious to explore.
Seattle & Beyond
Seattle is our home base, but we take on projects both near and far. If you’re located somewhere else, don’t hesitate to ask: we have licenses in a variety of states across the country.
