Seattle’s reputation for rain isn’t just a cliché — it’s a reality that significantly impacts how buildings must be designed. Prolonged exposure to moisture, high humidity, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles present real structural challenges. At our firm, we integrate climate-responsive strategies into every stage of the design process, ensuring our buildings can withstand decades of wet weather without compromising performance or safety.
Public and institutional buildings form the backbone of our communities. These spaces — libraries, schools, civic centers, hospitals — must be structurally robust, long-lasting, and adaptable. At our firm, we take great pride in designing structural systems that not only meet current needs but also anticipate the future, ensuring decades of reliable service and public benefit.
Seattle is situated within a highly seismic zone, making earthquake-resistant structural design a top priority for every type of building—from residential and commercial towers to schools and critical infrastructure.
