Canopy Apartments in Shoreline, Washington, reimagines the concept of sanctuary with its biophilic design and connection to nature. Situated between a commercial corridor and a residential neighborhood, Canopy offers 476 apartments, including 96 affordable units, within a seven-story building. The project knits together its surroundings with a stepped exterior that evokes the vertical layers of a forest, while the design incorporates natural materials and abundant green space, creating a mid-rise oasis for its residents. With a focus on wellness and lifestyle, Canopy emphasizes high-quality amenities, including expansive resident lounges, rooftop decks, a 24-hour fitness center, and private courtyards. Designed for both comfort and sustainability, this LEED Platinum project integrates both water- and energy-efficient measures and utilizes sustainably sourced materials throughout the building. The design of Canopy is a direct response to its Pacific Northwest context. Inspired by the adjacent tree-lined neighborhood, the building’s massing steps down toward the residential area, allowing it to blend naturally with the established homes. The varied board-formed concrete at the base complements the softer, tree-bark-inspired shingle cladding, creating a visual connection to the surrounding forested environment. The layout also maximizes views of trees and greenery, with inner courtyards offering a serene, forest-like sanctuary visible from nearly every unit. The building’s thoughtful design creates a vibrant community with ample amenity spaces that elevate daily living, while its strategic location near bike lanes and a bus transit center offers convenient access to the metropolitan area. Canopy Apartments is a place for residents to call home, offering a peaceful retreat from city life while remaining closely connected to the energy of Shoreline’s urban landscape.

Recipient of the 2017 NAIOP Community Impact Award, the 16,700 sq. ft., two-story Salvation Army Eastside Community Center in Bellevue, Washington, brings together a wide range of services under one roof. The facility features a chapel, nursery, gymnasium, food bank, multipurpose meeting rooms, classrooms, and administrative offices. Ankrom Moisan’s design thoughtfully addresses the needs of the Salvation Army’s diverse user groups by creating distinct spaces that remain visually and functionally integrated. The building’s simple architectural lines convey an understated elegance, while its layout reflects the careful coordination required to support the center’s interconnected programs and services.

Resulting from an RFP master plan and needs assessment, C-TRAN's campus expansion in Vancouver, Washington, was a multi-phase mission. Starting by demolishing the existing administration building and the temporary operators trailer to construct an expanded parking lot system, the site’s new layout is devoted to safety, movement, and security, staying in operation throughout the entire process. The flow of buses and the different needs of end-users were centered throughout this multi-step process. Parking lots for employees, buses, general visitors, and an upcoming park-and-ride area grant plenty of space for motor vehicles, no matter their size or intended use. Dotting the asphalt sea like islands, two separate structures make up the campus’ buildings. Going into the expansion, a small barn for buses was requested on the service side of the site. However, the resulting needs assessment led to the realization that much more scope was still required. The immediate need was a parking lot, followed by the bus maintenance facility, since C-TRAN needed to ensure that their buses were operable and had places to park throughout the entire campus expansion – the garage doors were open the whole time. The one-story industrial concrete tilt-up – sturdy enough for a bus to hit – is reserved for the maintenance of up to six transportation vehicles. It creates space for buses to come in, fuel up, get washed and maintained before returning to the yard to embark back on their route.

Part of a larger campus masterplan, the new operations building for C-TRAN provides services for C-TRAN's bus drivers and operators during their downtime or between shifts. It also provides areas for training new and existing employees. The Operations building showcases an emerging construction technology in Mass Plywood Panels which were used as the roof structure and exposed on the interior. The exposed plywood structure creates a warm and relaxing interior for the operators to lounge in, utilize the various amenities, and have their training sessions. It's a facility designed to entice prospective employees, demonstrating how mass timber can be functional and beautiful. The exterior materials of the operations building attempts to connect to the existing structures on the site by utilizing Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) stacked in a vertical orientation to and panelized to create variation in scale along the main circulation path of the campus. A texture and subtle color variation of exposed aggregate attempts to tie the campus together as a comprehensive whole. C-TRAN operation center is Ankrom Moisan’s first completed mass plywood project and 1 of 5 completed mass timber buildings – achieved lots of cost savings during construction in a sustainable way and ties the operations building to the lush, verdant landscape of the Pacific Northwest, solidifying C-TRAN's position as the premier transportation service of Vancouver, Washington. Across from the operations building a new concrete tilt-up maintenance building was also completed, augmenting and updating the existing facilities.

It creates space for buses to come in, fuel up, get washed, and offload money before returning to the yard to embark back on their route. Opposite from the concrete tilt-up maintenance building is a mass timber plywood operations building for bus operators to lounge in, utilize the available amenities, and have their training sessions. It’s a good-looking building that entices prospective employees, demonstrating why C-TRAN is so great to work for. Our material choices in the exterior palette of the operations building evokes connections to the other pre-existing structures on the site. Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) that resemble vertically parked buses share a texture with the exposed aggregate on the tilt-up maintenance building, tying the site together as a comprehensive whole. Similarly, the use of mass plywood – which makes C-TRAN Ankrom Moisan’s first completed mass timber building – ties the operations building to the lush, verdant landscape of the Pacific Northwest, solidifying C-TRAN's position as the premier transportation service of Vancouver, Washington.

Nestled adjacent to the University of Washington campus, The Standard at Seattle comprises two striking towers and a mid-rise structure, all visible from across the city. The site, prominently perched on a hill in Seattle’s University District, offers an impressive scale yet remains approachable at a human level. At the heart of The Standard is a pedestrian through-block corridor, connecting the three buildings and enhancing the neighborhood's urban fabric, allowing people to wander and engage throughout the space. All three lobbies open into the pedestrian corridor. With retail and residential amenity spaces, the space is vibrant and alive with a variety of urban environments. The design cleverly integrates the site’s unique elements, including an alleyway, a historic building, and a nearby light-rail station—each contributing to distinct architectural expressions that serve the neighborhood’s varied needs. The mid-rise structure, a hybrid CLT (cross-laminated timber) building, invites pedestrians with its warm, exposed-wood texture. The use of CLT construction not only allowed for higher ceilings but also provided greater efficiency, durability, and aesthetic appeal compared to conventional methods. Sourcing mass timber from the Pacific Northwest further minimized the building’s carbon footprint. A dynamic interplay between the mass timber elements and vibrant color choices, along with a mural and podium heights that harmonize with surrounding buildings, ensures the mid-rise complements its surroundings and subtly weaves The Standard into the fabric of the U District.

The Standard is impressively scaled and prominently situated on the hill in Seattle’s University District. Comprised of two high-rise towers and one mid-rise CLT (cross-laminated timber) building, The Standard at Seattle is located immediately adjacent to the University of Washington campus. The towers rise over the hilltop neighborhood and can be seen from all over Seattle. Yet up close on a human scale, The Standard is approachable. The neighborhood is characterized by an eclectic style and an abundance of art, allowing us to pursue a broad design language for the project. The two high rise towers feature dark blue panels that shift tones throughout the day. There’s a visual conversation from one tower to another.

All three lobbies open into the pedestrian corridor. With retail and residential amenity spaces, the space is vibrant and alive with a variety of urban environments. Ultimately, The Standard serves as an extraverted, welcoming expression of what’s possible with dense student housing in the heart of a city.

Built in 1931 as Bothell Junior High School, the understated, art-deco style Anderson School was bought by McMenamins as part of Bothell, Washington's downtown revitalization effort. A boutique hotel occupies the former classrooms of the main building, while the gymnasium was transformed into a 700-person events venue. The existing swimming pool was made into a skylit saltwater oasis surrounded by tropical vegetation. The only new building added to the school grounds, The Shed, includes cozy fireplaces and outdoor seating.

No other building reflects the passage of time so openly as McMenamins Elks Temple. From its Beaux-Arts-inspired origins, it started out rooted in America’s “City Beautiful” movement of the dawn of the last century and transitioned to the postwar optimism of the mid-century moderns. Next, came the decades of urban decay—neglect, vandalism, and graffiti. Elks Temple has lived through it all. We worked very closely with McMenamins to preserve the history of the place while making the required interventions necessary for it to work as a thriving music, arts, dining and bar venue today. Our collective approach kept the scars that honor the full life-story of the building but give it back its historic soul. Operating as a hotel for the first time in its history, no two guest rooms are the same. Most have views of the Puget Sound and downtown Tacoma, while others look inward, toward the double-height Temple Room where the Elks held their swearing-in ceremonies.

The multi-phased, three year renovation of Motif Seattle suits both classic and modern tastes. Striking architectural elements are punctuated with unexpected twists and eclectic furniture. Meeting and gathering spaces play with the natural light by showcasing an exciting mixture of graphic patterns and bright colors. Clean lines and contemporary finishes fuse together to create bold, eye-catching art. The restaurant and outdoor deck use rich textures to bring the vibrant, social energy of the city into the space. Fresh, light, and comfortable guest rooms serve as a perfect denouement to this urban adventure, visually connecting both the public and private realms. This four-star destination is the place to see and be seen.

A world-class destination resort, Skamania Lodge was carefully integrated into Washington's landscape, offering sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge and the forested mountains beyond. The Lodge was designed in the traditional Cascadian style, yet exudes a classic Pacific Northwest coziness, punctuated by local history. Skamania embodies this stunning location through the extensive use of local materials and the skills of numerous Pacific Northwest designers and artisans. The Great Room contains beams salvaged from a fishing cannery on the Oregon Coast, pine wood floors salvaged from old warehouses, and fireplaces made of locally-sourced stone. We used Douglas Fir paneling, arts-and-crafts style furniture, Pendleton wool bedspreads and drapes, and custom-made carpets inspired by Native American beadwork. A local ironworker forged the Lodge’s iron gates, eagle-head fire tools, and log holders. Framed petroglyph rubbings by a local artist reveal prehistoric stone carvings found around the state.

Welcoming, relaxed, and elegantly upscale, Northern Quest hotel is situated in Spokane, Washington. Connected to the tribal land of the Kalispel peoples, Northern Quest weds itself to the history and traditions of the tribe while shifting the focus of the design to reflect the vibrant, modern state of the tribe today. Throughout the hotel, subtle nods to Kalispel culture and hospitality can be seen in the hand-picked, often hand-crafted, artwork and décor that transform guest rooms and shared spaces into comfortable respites from the chaos of the casino. Light wood tones derived from trees and other natural features on tribal land, as well as woven fabrics that honor artisan crafts and emulate traditional blankets and beadwork, link to the rich culture of the tribe.

Nestled between the Tacoma Convention Center and a historic landmark, this four-star Marriott hotel stands for Tacoma’s industrial history and its future as a premiere West Coast destination. Our design embraces the city’s industrial character, a concept we referred to as raw•fined. Once inside, exposed steel and concrete allude to industrial shipping patterns—ripples of the port city's history. The pinnacle of Tacoma, this hotel offers stunning views of the city and Mount Rainier beyond. The hotel and conference center will make Tacoma a true contender in the Pacific Northwest's convention market.

Marriott was seeking to tap a younger generation of guests with their new boutique hotel brand, Moxy. Following their successful launch in Europe, we partnered with a bold developer to bring Moxy to Seattle’s booming South Lake Union neighborhood. We designed angled bay windows to give people a glimpse of what’s up and down the street of this bustling tech neighborhood, offering an additional nook to each standard room. A see-and-be-seen lively bar welcomes guests, and every room is designed to accommodate the brand’s signature furniture. Moxy South Lake Union integrates a fresh approach to the guest experience with authentic Seattle spirit, integrating technology, self-service design, and bold style along the way.

Redmond, Washington, home of the Microsoft campus, is a growing tech hub east of Seattle attracting a steady influx of suburban visitors and traveling tech workers. Responding to these diverse guests, the owner asked Ankrom Moisan to design a dual brand hotel – a concept new to the hospitality industry at the time. The Aloft is known for its lively social scene and innovative music programming at the W XYZ bar and the Re:mix lounge. Gray stone tile, composite wood panels, patterned metal, and colorful cement panels lend an upbeat, electric vibe to the space. With one managing group for both hotels, shared building systems and back-of-house functions promote operating efficiency along with a harmonious, landscaped central courtyard, shared pool, gym, and meeting center.

Redmond, Washington, home of the Microsoft campus, is a growing tech hub east of Seattle attracting a steady influx of suburban visitors and busy traveling tech workers. In response to these diverse guests, the owner asked Ankrom Moisan to design a dual brand hotel, a concept new to the hospitality industry at the time. The Element side is an extended-stay hotel known for health and wellness in comfortable suites. Muted, natural earth tones, and soft, warm materials bring a feeling of calm as guests overlook the neighborhood's central park. With one managing group for both hotels, shared building systems and back-of-house functions promote operating efficiency along with a harmonious landscaped central courtyard, shared pool, gym, and meeting center.

At the base of this tower is the Seattle landmark designed by Bebb and Gould in 1915. Clad in distinctive terracotta tiles, the structure is a jewel-like example of Gothic Revival architecture. Ankrom Moisan teamed up with the Japanese firm Kengo Kuma to create a tower that incorporates the historic structure into a new high-rise landmark for the city. Inspired by the narrow verticality of the historic style and the Columbia River basalt formations found in the Northwest, this new luxury hotel, topped with signature residences, rises up to command views of Puget Sound. The first fifteen floors will be home to the Northwest's only Langham, a hospitality brand known for legendary international excellence and the celebration of local artists.

For centuries, the pineapple has been used as a motif in architecture and the decorative arts as a symbol of hospitality. The design of this hotel incorporates elements of the fruit’s distinctive color and texture through light and materiality, interwoven into the exterior and interior of this high-rise hotel for the owner, Pineapple Hospitality.

We bring experience, respect, and sensitivity to each project. Nowhere was this more important than on the corner of 1st and Pike at the landmark entry to Seattle's Pike Place Market. Setting the hotel back from the street, we invigorated the pedestrian experience with steel windows and brick to reinforce the Market aesthetic while providing stunning views of the Puget Sound from the tower. Responding to the singular character of this living, breathing community and celebrating its position at one of Seattle’s busiest intersections, our design will respectfully bring new life to this landmark area.

Nestled in Seattle’s historic Laurelhurst neighborhood, just outside the University of Washington’s campus, Aegis Living Laurelhurst is a luxurious senior living community that exudes sophistication and elegance. Its prime location—visible from the main thoroughfare leading to campus and overlooking the famous Burke-Gilman Trail—imparts a sense of both historical significance and modern extravagance, making it the perfect destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life. As one of Aegis Living’s largest properties, special care was taken to seamlessly integrate Laurelhurst into its surroundings, ensuring it feels like an organic part of the neighborhood. The design draws inspiration from the Collegiate Gothic architecture on the University of Washington campus and the nearby Tudor-style homes, creating a dignified environment that speaks to both tradition and timeless elegance. The building’s unique, boomerang-shaped massing, with a subterranean back half, was thoughtfully planned to interact with the site’s topography and create a sense of entry that is both grand and grounded. The entryway sets the tone with black-and-white chessboard patterns, nodding to Aegis’ philosophy of aging with grace, while three-peaked gabled roofs and archways frame the entrance like a regal portal. Ornamental gardens and landscaped grounds offer a peaceful retreat, providing residents with an outdoor sanctuary to enjoy, whether on sunny days or between Seattle’s signature downpours. Innovative construction methods were employed to honor the intricate detailing and craftsmanship of historic buildings in the neighborhood. High-quality materials like pre-cast concrete and brick were used to replicate the look of limestone masonry, achieving a highly detailed, traditional architectural style over a modern wood frame. The result is a residence that feels timeless, luxurious, and in perfect harmony with its historic surroundings—truly a place to retire like royalty.

Mason & Main, located on the site of Seattle's first city-funded housing project in the historic Yesler Terrace neighborhood, serves as an inclusive hub for people from all backgrounds while transforming the area into a vibrant destination. The two buildings, divided by a shared courtyard and community garden, are connected by a mural from a local artist, celebrating the sense of unity among residents. A nearby pocket park and a zig-zagging hill climb assist guide pedestrians from Mason & Main to the transit station, making the city easily accessible. While connected to Seattle’s public transit system, Mason & Main stands as the centerpiece of Little Saigon, with thoughtful design that complements its urban context. The two buildings—Mason to the east and Main to the west—complement each other through their shared functions, materials, and visual language. Though their forms are distinct, each structure responds uniquely to its environment. Mason engages with the urban edge, offering inviting, pedestrian-scale storefronts beneath a covered canopy, leading to a welcoming lobby. On its quieter south side, the building transitions to residential stoops framed by low privacy rails and lush landscaping, creating a buffer between the sidewalk and the apartments. Main, meanwhile, is purely residential, with a more intimate lobby and a similar stoop design wrapping around the north and south sides, facing the urban pocket park to the west. Outdoor spaces abound at Mason & Main, thoughtfully woven into the site to enhance both circulation and amenity. On the more residential portions of the property, the building massing steps back, creating a human-scale, three- or four-story feel that invites pedestrians to linger. Clad in warm brick, Mason features horizontal coursing, while Main uses vertical brick patterns to create visual interest and engage passersby. At the upper levels, both buildings feature offset massing that allows for an array of rooftop decks and sunlit courtyards—perfect spaces for outdoor activities, from gardening and BBQs to sunbathing and socializing. Covered areas offer protection from the elements, while a mural by a local artist and carefully placed lighting add to the vibrant atmosphere. Residents can enjoy stunning views of Mount Rainier, downtown Seattle, and Elliot Bay, making the outdoor spaces just as captivating as the indoor ones. True to Seattle’s commitment to sustainability, Mason & Main have earned LEED Gold certification. The rooftop stormwater retention system, consisting of ten-foot mounds of dirt, sedum, and wild grasses, underscores the project’s dedication to environmental stewardship. Additionally, a solar panel array on Mason’s roof further exemplifies the building’s efforts to minimize its ecological footprint while being a responsible neighbor in the bustling Yesler Terrace community.

The most comforting feeling in the world is the safety of a mother’s arms. The UWMC 6N OB Expansion is a close second. This dedicated space enhances the University of Washington Medical Center’s mother-baby unit, providing a nurturing environment for mothers and newborns. Located as a distinct peninsula within the hospital, 6N welcomes patients into the supportive embrace of the Natal Care Unit with a fresh, inviting entry. Abundant natural light from exterior windows and thoughtfully designed fixtures creates a warm atmosphere, essential for patients who may stay for extended periods. An art wall and nutrition corner in the entry hallway ensure family members feel included in the healing process. Each patient room embodies hospitality, elevating comfort while adhering to UWMC’s design standards. Earth-tone finishes and wood-look headwalls incorporate biophilic elements, while wide windows frame stunning views of the University of Washington campus. Thoughtful features—sleeper sofas, pendant lights, and geometric patterns—transform these spaces into a home away from home, ensuring durability without sacrificing comfort. Away from the hospital's hustle, the OB expansion offers specialized care and privacy, with an added sense of tranquility resulting from the lack of foot traffic to the low-activity blood lab across the hall. The flexible design of patient rooms accommodates both antepartum examinations and postpartum recovery, allowing for tailored care. The UWMC 6N OB Expansion is not just a medical space; it’s a sanctuary designed to nurture mothers and their newborns during their most precious moments together.

Occupying an entire wing of the University of Washington Medical Center, the 7N MedSurg unit provides versatile patient rooms designed to meet the evolving needs of lower-acuity patients. As a retrofit, the focus was on creating multifunctional spaces that can adapt over time, enhancing the hospital's capacity to respond to changing healthcare demands. Collaborating closely with hospital staff, our design team crafted 7N as a floor of adaptable rooms that support essential care. This flexibility is crucial given the challenges faced during the pandemic, like shortages of available patient beds. Upon entering 7N, patients and staff are greeted by warm wood pilasters and a cohesive design aesthetic that aligns with UWMC’s other inpatient floors. Durable, stretched fabric wall coverings provide acoustic dampening, fostering a calm environment for rest and recovery. Graphics inspired by soft morning light and water droplets connect the space to the nearby Montlake Cut, enhancing the calm, welcoming atmosphere. At the front, the nurse’s station, marked by woven wall coverings, enhances wayfinding, while a family nourishment center is equipped with kitchen appliances for visitors. Designed to function independently from other wings of the University of Washington Medical Center, 7N allows staff to access all support services within the unit. Its architecture includes flexibility for transforming the space into an isolation unit for contagious patients. Temporary walls can secure the area, and anterooms facilitate proper protective gear and disinfectant processes. The 7N MedSurg unit stands as a forward-thinking sanctuary, ready to adapt to patient needs and modern healthcare challenges.

Removed from local services in Everett, Washington, Community Transit’s Merrill Creek building goes the extra mile to support its employees by bringing amenities and community to them. Because there are no services within walking distance of the site, the layout and structure of Merrill Creek steps up to provide employees with much needed amenities for them to take advantage of in their down time. There are so many choices to enjoy, in fact, that additional space was added to the structure to allow the inclusion of a fitness area, among other niceties. Splashes of blue and golden rod in lockers, tiling, and light fixtures link the space to Community Transit’s headquarters and compliment their overall branding, reinforcing the sense of community that is inherent between coworkers. Soft corners welcome employees and encourage them to feel at home in their respite from work. Visual cues and references to the surrounding environment are felt through allusions to the namesake Merrill Creek in overhead light fixtures, and the incorporation of natural materials like wood throughout common spaces and walkways that nod to the region’s logging and timber industries. The Great Hall, which cuts through the heart of the building, is wide enough to accommodate multiple artisan booths for exclusive, miniature markets, bazaars, or informational fairs for employees to enjoy since they're unable to attend other markets in the community during work hours or in-between shifts. In all of Merrill Creek’s corridors and corners, thoughtful elements and design intentions celebrate and strengthen the community in and around Community Transit.

Located in an area historically connected to America’s first post-war shopping mall and physically connected to the rest of Seattle by light rail, the Northgate neighborhood has been experiencing renewed attention as the site of a new urban neighborhood, evolving from a conventional shopping mall into a vibrant new community. As the first phase of the transformation from a park-and-ride lot to a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) that will connect the new light rail system throughout the neighborhood, Northgate Affordable Housing establishes a destination for growing families and working individuals alike, setting the tone for the future of the neighborhood as a more connected and sustainable community. As affordable family housing, Northgate aims to provide 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments to the people who need them most in an area where there are few options for low-cost accommodation. As part of this mission, 27 of Northgate’s 235 units are dedicated to veterans who may need supplementary support. Even with an efficient, budget-minded design, a dynamic patterned exterior was created to reflect the movement of buses and light rail transit lines near the site. Colorful murals, connected sightlines, a courtyard sanctuary, and community-oriented amenities and services support residents inside, encouraging feelings of safety, comfort, and support.

Mason and its sister site, Main are a unique set of buildings located within Seattles Little Saigon neighborhood. Retaining the neighborhood’s original character - a place where cultures meet and weave together - the two sibling structures house emerging professionals, forever-renters, downsizing empty nesters, and individuals of all age groups.   A recognition that not everybody has the same needs embodies the spirit of the Mason building; Each common room and amenity was designed with a different approach, for a different purpose, intended to be used at different times of the day. This innovative design direction lends itself to establishing the amenity spaces inside the Mason building as unique, independent destinations within the larger Mason & Main destination.   The interior of Mason is saturated with subtle references to travel, and the growth of understanding that comes with it. Local art alluding to international styles makes that connection immediately within Mason’s foyer. Paired with the wide array of vibrant colors and intricate textures integrated throughout the building, it’s apparent that Mason offers an assortment of charming, one-of-a-kind locations for residents to come together and foster meaningful connections, all under a single roof.

Envisioned as an icon along the waterfront of Lake Washington, Aegis Kirkland—an addition to the Aegis family of senior communities—takes inspiration from the Mediterranean villages of Italy. Bold, warm color and distinct styles inside and out activate the project to evoke the memories and romance of the Amalfi Coast. With a custom feel, Aegis Kirkland’s luxurious interiors and exteriors evoke the timeless quality of a long-standing Italian plaza. The design focuses on drawing both assisted living and memory care residents out of their private units and into common spaces and amenities. Residents can relax at the pub, grab a bite at the Queen Bee café, or catch a movie at the Cinema. The glass-ceilinged Grotto and scenic Sky Lounge with expansive views of Lake Washington create unique, awe-inspiring experiences. Capturing an architectural style rarely found in the Pacific Northwest, Aegis Kirkland truly leaves an impression on residents, visitors, and locals—leading to the most successful presales on units of all Aegis communities.

Located in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood, 2201 Westlake Lobby serves as the first impression for the high-rise multi-tenant office building and is an inviting way station for busy professionals. Our team successfully transformed what was once a featureless entryway into a meeting place enveloped in beauty. Designed to elevate what is typically a liminal space, 2201 Westlake Lobby pays homage to the regional natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest by way of a grand living wall. A glass façade integrates the verdant space with the surrounding neighborhood and fills the area with natural light. Open space and hidden design details immerse guests in a feeling of warm serenity, inviting visitors to linger in the building’s foyer for just a moment longer.

Aegis Living Lake Union, the first assisted living community in the U.S. to meet Living Building Challenge 3.1 Petal Certification, represents a harmonious fusion of rich local history and sustainable living. Situated in Seattle’s East Lake neighborhood, the design draws inspiration from the historic rowing culture of the University of Washington’s iconic team, particularly the 1936 Berlin Olympic gold medalists. This landmark community seamlessly blends the beauty of the past with the promise of a healthy, eco-conscious future for its residents. The architecture reflects the area's rowing legacy with natural cedar siding that mimics the motion of oars cutting through water. A striking steel canopy, evoking the shape of a rowing shell and extended to accommodate rooftop solar panels, complements the building’s bold materials, including rough brick and thoughtfully curated landscaping that enhances biodiversity and supports rainwater management. Throughout the space, these shapes and patterns are woven into the building’s design, continuing from the exterior into the interior’s details. Aegis Living Lake Union is more than a place to live; it is a holistic home where residents feel vital and connected to their surroundings. The project’s design was shaped by the goal of enhancing the health and wellbeing of each resident. With a focus on sustainable living, the building is emission-free and energy-efficient, featuring a 25% reduction in energy use through thermal insulation, triple-pane windows, and energy-saving systems like LED lighting and heat recovery ventilation. Rainwater and greywater are also captured and recycled, saving over 140,000 gallons of water annually. The community’s ground-floor amenities are designed to encourage social interactions and engagement, featuring a dining area, hair salon, fitness center, and cinema—all open to the public. For residents requiring Memory Care, the second-floor dining room and courtyard offer inviting spaces for connection and activity. The project’s revolutionary sustainable design, completed amid the challenges of COVID-19, sets a new standard for senior living communities, blending environmental stewardship with a deep respect for the local history and natural beauty of the Lake Union area. Through its commitment to wellness, sustainability, and connection to place, Aegis Living Lake Union offers a remarkable home where residents can thrive in both body and spirit.

Community Transit of Snohomish County is an innovative transportation leader in the Puget Sound region. Their rapidly expanding services and forward-thinking culture required a larger and more dynamic headquarters, and to that end our interiors team partnered with OTAK Architecture on this project. This collaborative undertaking represents the essence of sustainability, in that after many scenarios of new development were explored, ultimately the organization decided to repurpose an under-utilized and neglected industrial property. Community Transit is deeply committed to the well-being of its people. So much so, that the four design pillars for this project were borne from futurecasting the sensations employees would be feeling in their forthcoming new office, each pillar starting with the words, “I am”. “I am valued”, “I am learning”, “I am caring”, and “I am well”. These pillars can be discerned through many unexpected design features. The importance of civic engagement is demonstrated by Community Transit’s contribution of a large chamber within the new headquarters. It includes state-of-the-art technology and security, a custom board dais in which all members have an individual microphone, a custom podium, and seating for over 60 people. The new workplace for the employees of Community Transit is not just a beautiful vision, though it is that. It’s also proving itself to be a place that employees can be proud to take a family member through. It’s a place where they feel valued and heard, and where they can realize a sense of belonging.

The Seattle Belltown neighborhood where Liv Belltown is located is one of the last holdouts to urban gentrification in Seattle. The local communities take pride in the history still writ large on the streets and businesses in the area. With musical influences harking back to the early 90's grunge era, and even further back with documented performances of The Beatles from the 1960's, the neighborhood’s authentic funky energy is the heart and driving influence behind Liv Belltown’s design. Designed with the community at the forefront, and mindful of the downtown vibe, Liv Belltown provides much needed housing and thoughtfully scaled density that supports a pedestrian-oriented lifestyle and fosters experiences in the Belltown urban village. We endeavored to preserve the vitality and indelible grittiness of the area and imbue the building with a tempting mix of interesting amenities such as a generous pet lounge, a laundromat, and a club room on level 8 overlooking the roof deck. Sweeping views of Elliot Bay and the adjacent skyline provide residents with places to congregate, socialize and entertain. Located in an eclectic funky surrounding neighborhood, Liv Belltown has much to offer residents.

In the heart of the historic South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, Mark on 8th preserves the old and makes it functional again. Using the façade of an art deco auto garage built in 1931 and designated as a landmark, it is inspired by the industrial, simple architectural details of the original structure. This memorable, mixed-use building brings seven stories, 174 residences and a scenic view of the iconic Space Needle to the tech-centric South Lake Union community. The apartment building is geared toward worldly students and career-driven young professionals who are seeking a unique place to call home. As an urban infill project that uses an original structure to serve a present need in its evolving neighborhood, Mark on 8th also thoughtfully offers job and housing balance. It creates a lively, historically charming environment where people can work, live, and play all near their home.

A suburb of Seattle, Woodinville is set in the heart of wine country. Inspired by local Washington state wine culture, this five-story assisted living and memory care senior community has been thoughtfully designed to promote wellness through the integration of natural elements and outdoor spaces. Within this chateaux-inspired building are 66 assisted living units, and 28 Memory Care units. Having partnered with Aegis Living on previous projects we knew that they would want something special for their senior residents in Woodinville. Lush landscaping surrounds the building and flows seamlessly into the interior. The architecture takes its cues from the traditional estate that are often found in the wine making regions of France. This beautiful five-story French countryside-style building welcomes residents and their families. Efforts were made to imbue the residents’ environment with an abundance of natural light and living greenery, encouraging their well-being and comfort. It is well established that nature is beneficial to overall health and happiness, and this notion was embraced as a key feature to the design. Elements of nature were implemented inside and out. Stone, wood, and stucco form the frameworks of the building, and with an abundance of natural light and foliage Aegis Living Woodinville is a tasteful residence for those in memory care.

Situated just a block from Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market, the West Edge Tower is both a destination and a defining feature of the city’s skyline. Rising 39 stories, this mixed-use building is a masterclass in architectural sophistication, blending local culture, natural beauty, and innovative design to create an experience that captivates both inside and out. From its meticulously crafted exterior to its inviting interior spaces, the tower reflects a deep connection to Seattle’s landscapes and surroundings. The building features three types of residences, each optimized for views and connections to the city, Elliott Bay, and the surrounding mountains. Every detail, from materials to finishes, echoes the natural environment, fostering a sense of seamless integration between the building and its breathtaking surroundings. Penthouse units offer unparalleled luxury, while beautifully designed amenities enhance the living experience. At the heart of the tower, the Green Jewel Box—a glass-enclosed space housing a Japanese maple tree—serves as a tranquil focal point, connecting the building’s interior to nature. This serene space is visible from multiple points in the building, including the parking ramp and floors above, making it a tranquil, ever-changing presence for both residents and passersby. Ankrom Moisan served as the Architect of Record, working closely with the Design Architect to refine the exterior and create strong connections to the surrounding neighborhoods—Belltown, Downtown, Pike Place, and Pioneer Square. The building’s exterior design features three distinct volumes—podium, tower, and penthouse—each with its own scale and character. The podium offers an intimate, grounded loft aesthetic, the tower exudes calming sophistication, and the penthouses are polished, luxurious, and light-filled. Designed with public accessibility in mind, the West Edge Tower blends seamlessly into its urban context, setting a new standard for high-rise living in Seattle with its combination of luxury, functionality, and connection to the city’s natural and cultural fabric.

Leeward is a unique mixed-use development in South Lake Union, offering a one-of-a-kind living experience that blends luxury with industrial charm. With 296 apartments, vibrant street-level retail, and innovative amenity spaces, Leeward stands as a testament to the rebirth of the neighborhood, designed to meet the needs of its rapidly growing population. Rooted in the area's historical maritime and industrial character, this LEED for Homes Gold-certified, mid-rise development celebrates both the past and future of South Lake Union. Situated on a steep hillside, the site posed a significant design challenge, but our team rose to the occasion. Through detailed collaboration with the city, we presented creative structural solutions and code alternatives, overcoming zoning complexities and making the 400,000 sq. ft. project possible. The development consists of three buildings bridged by underground spaces, spanning a 60 ft. elevation change and creating a terraced vista that overlooks Lake Union’s watershed. This innovative design complements the scale and character of the neighborhood while enhancing the pedestrian experience along Dexter Avenue North. Each building façade is carefully designed to balance the public-private transition at residential entries, with textured wooden panels between simple windows and metal paneling. The neutral base reflects the Pacific Northwest aesthetic, while slatted wood dividers and planters add warmth and privacy to resident patios. The smallest building, a "jewel box," uses rich wood and black windows to visually distinguish its character as the main entry point to the development. One of the most distinctive features of Leeward is its underground lounge. A restored 1969 Airstream Trailer serves as the centerpiece of this space, and it has become so beloved by residents that a wedding was even held in it. The development also offers exceptional outdoor spaces, including a central courtyard with private decks for each home, framed by large shrubs and small trees for added privacy. Three rooftop terraces provide ample opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and social gatherings, each offering unique views of the surrounding landscape, including Lake Union. Green roofs and small-scale trees in containers enhance the space, creating a tranquil and inviting environment for residents to enjoy year-round. Leeward is a dynamic and thoughtful development, designed to be both innovative and rooted in its context—offering a sophisticated, yet gritty urban experience in the heart of one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

The first housing built in the heart of bustling Redmond Town Center, Talisman pushes the boundaries of what residents expect from urban-suburban locales. The identity of this six-story apartment building was crafted with the innovative, international, and forward-thinking spirits of the local tech employees that are sure to call it home. The design is dynamic and expressive, sophisticated yet comfortable; a true reflection of the community within. For inspiration, our designers crafted the concept “Manthropology”– a riff on the well-known retail brand with the spin “what if Anthropologie was reimagined for men?” man • thro • pol • o • gy noun 1 : the study of the Redmond tech employee; especially : the study of Redmond tech workers in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture: a: Characteristics include design tendencies toward purposeful, architectural, and layered, with exposed connections and mechanisms. b: Personal appearance is comfortable, yet stylish. Appears effortless but in fact much thought is put into items of importance. Open to opportunities to distinguish oneself from the “pack” c. Appreciates quality over quantity.

Located in Redmond, Washington, Esterra Park is an innovative, mixed-use urban redevelopment blending residential, hospitality, and office spaces. With the master plan completed in 2011, the development has been built in phases, and we have played a pivotal role in shaping its vision, bringing urbanism to Redmond. Partnering with AvalonBay for the residential components and CSM Corporation for a dual-branded hotel, we designed four blocks and conducted feasibility studies for future phases. Avalon Esterra Park, two seven-story mixed-use buildings, serve as the first market-rate apartment developments on the outskirts of Redmond. Positioned near a new light rail station, Avalon Esterra Park offers modern, sophisticated living in a rapidly changing tech-centric city. As Redmond evolved, the city sought to introduce a more urban, dynamic atmosphere, and our designs for AvalonBay helped bring that vision to life, in alignment with the Overlake Village Master Plan and Redmond’s zoning goals. Located directly across from Microsoft’s Redmond campus, these buildings mark a gateway to the larger Esterra Park development. Designed with a multicultural demographic in mind, Avalon Esterra Park features two distinct, complementary buildings. The Northern building caters to families, incorporating spaces for children and communal areas for socializing, while the Southern building targets younger residents, offering fitness and social spaces. Together, the buildings balance functionality and style, with underground parking for residents and guests. The architecture of the two buildings tells different stories. One embraces a tailored aesthetic—clean lines and organic elements, with balconies that project from all facades, visually “stitching” the building together. The other juxtaposes Redmond’s past and future, using transparent materials at the base to evoke the city’s history, while sleek, modern housing units above represent its future as a tech hub. Both buildings are connected through a shared courtyard, reinforcing the bond with the adjacent park and providing opportunities for outdoor recreation. A successful example of urban design, Avalon Esterra Park has become one of AvalonBay’s top-performing properties in terms of leasability, offering residents a modern, well-designed home base in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most dynamic areas.

Inspired by the nearby Bellevue Botanical Gardens, our design for Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake incorporates a biophilic approach from the very beginning. This principle fosters a strong connection between residents, the indoors, and the outdoors, and is woven into every aspect of the building’s design. Drawing inspiration from luxurious Mediterranean resorts, we focused on creating a timeless, inviting base palette, using warm materials, framed views, and abundant natural light from large arched windows. A central feature of the design is the building’s wraparound courtyard, referred to as the “exterior living room.” This private outdoor space is visible from nearly every amenity, with large Mediterranean-style windows enhancing the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. The addition of a stunning “glass jewel box” conservatory serves as a focal gathering space, while the second floor houses a greenhouse experience designed for memory care residents, offering them a safe, stimulating environment. Throughout the building, exterior finishes and plantings flow seamlessly inside, blurring the boundaries between the two spaces and enhancing the biophilic experience. We kept our design responsive to market trends, adapting to a shift toward smaller studio and one-bedroom units. Collaborating with the general contractor, we reallocated square footage to create four additional units, ensuring the design met current demand without sacrificing the overall vision. Solar panels and energy-efficient features were incorporated, going beyond basic code requirements to ensure the building’s environmental impact is minimized. With its thoughtful design and connection to nature, Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake stands as a celebration of both natural beauty and sustainable living.

In the heart of Seattle’s vibrant University District, Theory U District stands as a beacon of thoughtful design, embracing the diverse experiences of its student population. This flagship property, developed with Peak Campus, harmonizes urban life and academic pursuits. The architectural vision centers on “convergence of community” and “connected open spaces.” Two distinct building masses are linked by beautifully designed courtyards, which serve as the heart of student life, facilitating social gatherings while providing vital access to natural light and fresh air. The buildings are conceived as a single rectangular form pulled apart by the dynamic forces of residential and academic life. This design connects the courtyards to nearby greenspaces, fostering a safe, welcoming environment just blocks from campus. Inside, warm tones inspired by neighboring brickwork contrast with modern materials on the façades. Lush planters and trees create seclusion in the courtyards, enhancing community interaction. A double-height breezeway connects these outdoor areas, promoting navigation among residents. The property also features a lively public presence, with an entry plaza and active amenity spaces like a media lounge and communal coffee bar. A bus stop at the main entry ensures easy access to campus. Along 15th Ave, ground-level residential entries balance privacy and connection, designed with raised patios and Corten metal screens. At Theory U District, every design element caters to the elevated tastes and functional needs of students, fostering an environment where they can study, connect, and truly feel at home.

Amidst a campus-wide effort to instill building lobbies with unique personalities, Microsoft challenged us to redesign one of the most important entry points at their Redmond, Washington headquarters. The Redwest C Lobby needed to serve two contrasting functions: support the highly secure operations of the critical teams in the building and serve as a universally inviting check-in site for the company’s many important visitors. Our firm’s rich multidisciplinary experience guided our approach to this dual-purpose space. We fused a hospitality-inspired sense of welcome and calm with elements of security and organization barrowing from our more technical projects. Of course, the north star compelling every aspect was Microsoft global brand standards. Engaging our familiarity with branded experiences, we balanced regional and building-specific storytelling with worldwide corporate parameters to create confident, functional trailhead from which employees and visitors can enter Microsoft’s world headquarters.

Beryl Apartments, located at 12th Avenue and Pike Street in Seattle’s Capitol Hill, blends contemporary living with the neighborhood’s eclectic culture. This mixed-use project offers a range of live-work spaces, creating affordable residences for professionals in the heart of a vibrant community. Inspired by Capitol Hill’s theater culture, the design concept treats the building as a “stage,” with balconies and screening elements on the second and third levels that engage with the street. The massing breaks up the building’s form, creating dynamic interaction between the residents and their environment. The design honors the area’s history while incorporating modern functionality, with input from the local Pike/Pine community.

Set-back first-floor retail spaces provide outdoor seating, activating the streetscape. Above, 88 units are designed for both style and function, with balconies and porches that invite interaction with the neighborhood. Residents enjoy panoramic views of Seattle, along with a lively fenestration of windows and lighting. Beryl’s amenities enhance the urban lifestyle, with a gym, roof deck, dining areas, a lounge with a fire pit, dog run, and garden kitchen. A landscaped courtyard brings natural light into the building, promoting a sense of community. Though compact, Beryl Apartments enriches Capitol Hill with its distinct character, efficient design, and a deep connection to the surrounding area. It’s a place where residents can truly live, work, and play.

Bellevue, Washington, is transforming from a suburban, car-centric city to a dense, pedestrian-friendly urban center. As part of this broader shift, senior living is returning to the city core, with more public-facing spaces integrated into what was once private-only design. Our work on Holden of Bellevue embraces these changing priorities. Designed for seniors requiring memory care or assisted living, Holden is strategically located one block from Bellevue’s future East Main light-rail station. Its contemporary design, active street-facing retail, and a pedestrian passage through the site’s original superblock plan bring new vitality to the neighborhood, contributing to street life and improving access for families living and working nearby. Inside, the design prioritizes community-building through accessible, luxurious amenities that encourage social interaction—whether through shared mealtimes, fitness activities, or social events. Holden’s design supports Bellevue’s goal of urban density and walkability. Where a low-rise medical building once stood, Holden rises as a seven-story, 136-unit residential complex. A key feature of the development is a new pedestrian connection that cuts across the site, breaking the original block into a more walkable scale and improving access to surrounding areas. The internal lot for parking and the main entry allows for a seamless integration with the city’s future growth. To meet both public and private needs, the ground-floor retail spaces—comprising a salon and bistro—are designed to serve both the public and residents. During the day, the spaces are open to all, while in the evening, they become private amenities for seniors. The elevated ground level offers residents a sheltered "front porch" experience, where they can watch the street activity from a comfortable and accessible vantage point. Architecturally, Holden’s C-shaped structure follows a classical tripartite design, with a base, middle, and top that create a balanced and grand presence. Clad in fiber-cement paneling, with cedar soffits at the entry, the building’s materials evoke warmth and sophistication. Maximizing natural light, the building’s orientation allows for abundant daylight and unobstructed views, while the shared courtyard amenity fosters social connections. The residential units are minimally appointed to encourage residents to spend more time in communal spaces, reinforcing the sense of community that is at the heart of Holden of Bellevue. This is senior living reimagined: connected to the city, to each other, and to the future.

AVA Capitol Hill is a bold experiment in seamlessly integrating modern architecture with the rich history of Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, formerly known as Auto Row. Designed to connect the past with the present, the building blends historic elements with contemporary design to foster both physical and social connections. Located in the eclectic Pike/Pine district, the project was driven by a collaborative process, engaging both the local community and AvalonBay Communities to create a space that resonates with the neighborhood’s artistic spirit. Occupying an entire block, the building incorporates four historic structures, including three façades for ground-floor retail and one full building for residential amenities, maintaining the area’s character while introducing modern living spaces. The residential floors feature blue stainless-steel tile, a reference to the building’s past as a car dealership and Capitol Hill’s evolving style. AVA Capitol Hill fosters connections and creates distinct street-level experiences through intentional design, from the public walkways and courtyards that connect the home to the street, to the stoops on the ground-floor units that encourage interaction between residents and the commercial street. The entry is marked by a bold red panel, leading visitors through the building with views of the entire block. Common areas are designed for social connection, including a wood staircase that encourages neighbors to interact, and rooftop decks offering private outdoor spaces with stunning views. By blending historic character with modern amenities, AVA Capitol Hill brings AvalonBay’s vision to life, creating a place that connects residents to each other, the neighborhood, and the city’s rich history.

Located at the intersection of northeast Bellevue and Redmond, Washington, Hyde Square transforms a former low-rise commercial center into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood. With 618 luxury units spread across four mid-rise buildings, Hyde Square blends high-density housing with a human-scale design that fosters a strong sense of community. The four buildings, arranged around landscaped courtyards, create a central walking path and a shared public space. Two cedar-and-brick pavilions anchor the site—one for wellness and leasing, the other for socializing and work. These pavilions draw residents and visitors in, connecting them to the outdoor spaces that define the development. By moving parking underground and focusing on pedestrian pathways, we reimagined the site from a car-centered complex to a people-friendly environment. The central roundabout serves as the entry point, with courtyards and amenity spaces—like the wellness and clubhouse pavilions—providing areas for fitness, relaxation, and community interaction. Materials like dark brick, cedar siding, and living roofs blend with the Pacific Northwest landscape, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The courtyards offer residents spaces to gather or retreat, while variations in massing and building forms create visual interest and frame views of the surrounding area. Inside, the design focuses on livability, with apartments that balance social spaces and private retreats. Hyde Square combines high-density living, thoughtful architecture, and a focus on outdoor space, making it a dynamic, rooted community for its residents.

The historic Kelly-Springfield Motor Truck Co. building, constructed in the early 1900s, marks Seattle’s evolution from a settlement town to an industrial hub. Located in Capitol Hill’s dynamic Pike/Pine corridor, the building has been transformed into a modern creative office and retail space through the Legacy Capitol Hill adaptive reuse and rehabilitation project. Our design preserves the building's historical identity while incorporating modern elements, resulting in 71,500 sq. ft. of new office space and 13,500 sq. ft. of retail. The street-facing façade, characterized by its brick cladding and vibrant green ceramic tiles, was meticulously restored, including the revival of the original "Kelly-Springfield" inlaid tile sign.. The project’s centerpiece is the restoration of the exposed heavy-timber post and beam structure, blending aesthetic quality with structural function. We employed the Timber Concrete Composite (TCC) method, making this one of North America’s first projects to use this innovative hybrid structural solution. Wood columns support the second floor, while concrete columns extend to support the upper stories. Set back 20 feet from the main façade, the new addition is modern and minimalist, a quiet backdrop emphasizing the historic entrance. The sleek German curtain wall system includes operable windows that increase ventilation and reduce draft for a pleasant environment inside. The interior design embraces the building’s gritty, industrial past with dramatic elements like exposed wood ceilings, black tile echoing the antique exterior, and gothic-inspired chandeliers casting rich shadows.

In early 2016, our Seattle team moved from Pioneer Square to Ankrom Moisan’s new Seattle workplace—a bright, character-filled showcase of collaboration, inclusive design, and our firm’s office culture. Our office reflects who we are and our priorities, not only what we do. Our design began by collectively reflecting on what matters to us: How do we prefer to work? What should our office say to potential clients? What cultural values matter most to us? Fast-forward to today: Even as our downtown Seattle office is still evolving, it feels as playful, transparent, and joyfully authentic as the day we moved in. It’s who we are.

Although Vancouver, Washington, sits on the iconic Columbia River across from Portland, Oregon, and offers plenty of prime real estate with panoramic views of the river, its waterfront sat mostly undeveloped for decades. But Gramor Development saw potential in a particular site that was once a historic mill. And with the city of Vancouver wanting to reinvent its riverfront—to “create a world-class waterfront along the mighty Columbia River [that] will be the region’s next great gathering place”—our team saw an opportunity to help shape the city by transforming this site. Connecting a neglected site to the urban grid demands dedication and a steadfast vision. Where an abandoned site once sat, the beautiful new mixed-use Murdock now rises at The Waterfront to welcome an entirely new community of residents, businesses, and visitors. For the several members of our design team who live in Vancouver, this project and the optimistic path it blazes for the city’s future hold a very special place in our hearts.

4747 California brings modern design to the West Seattle Junction, blending the history of the neighborhood with the future of urban living. The mixed-use building features 79 residential units and 6,500 square feet of retail space, anchored by Huskey Deli, a beloved local institution since 1932. The design pays homage to the deli’s 90-year legacy while introducing a refined, contemporary aesthetic. The ground floor incorporates white textured brick, grey and black paneling, and warm wood accents, inspired by the deli’s original interior. Above, the residential floors feature high-end materials and a façade that subtly references the deli’s faux Bavarian half-timbering. The building’s massing is aligned with neighboring structures, and stepped-back residential floors preserve the pedestrian experience along California Avenue. A vintage mural and detailed ground-floor design, with curved glass windows and specialty lighting, reflect the neighborhood’s artistic spirit. A setback residential entrance offers residents privacy while maintaining the prominence of the retail corner. Inside, a trellis and skylight connect the lobby to the outdoors. The compact units are designed for maximum functionality, with ample storage and efficient layouts. Amenities include a meeting room, lounge, and a clubroom with kitchen and entertainment spaces. The roof deck offers stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, providing a relaxing escape for residents. 4747 California is a community-driven project that blends history, functionality, and modern design, setting a positive example for future development along California Avenue.

Aegis Living Mercer Island is an elegant and contemporary senior community inspired by the lodges of the Pacific Northwest, set on the most populated lake island in the U.S. Our design team seamlessly integrated natural materials and bold textures, blending indoor and outdoor elements to create a space deeply rooted in its geographic place. From the lobby’s four-story stacked-stone fireplace to onyx glass wall features and live-edge wood, every detail reinforces a sense of authenticity and connection to the environment. The site, a narrow and environmentally sensitive area with a steep slope and high water table, presented unique challenges. Our team worked closely with the state’s Department of Ecology to modify the site’s boundaries and protect the wetland. The building’s V-shape was specifically designed to support the ecosystem by retaining earth and preventing runoff, ensuring minimal environmental impact. As the design evolved, the aesthetic shifted from a traditional mountain lodge to a more contemporary expression of Northwest themes. The building now features exposed heavy timber, blackened steel fasteners, wood siding, and stacked stone, creating a modern yet grounded feel. Upon arrival, visitors and residents are greeted by a grand entry that leads into a double-height living room bathed in daylight, offering a direct view of a striking 14-foot by 35-foot outdoor water wall, which anchors the project’s terraces and gardens. This dramatic water feature transforms what would otherwise be a static hillside into a dynamic, welcoming gesture. On either side of the entry, high-end amenities inspire physical activity, foster relationships, and stimulate the mind, including a spa, fitness center, dining room, cinema, sports den, and sky lounge. With 89 apartments—73 for assisted living and 16 for memory care—Aegis Living Mercer Island is a vibrant and supportive community, deeply rooted in the elemental materials of the coastal Northwest.

Microsoft asked us to redesign the lobby in Building 5 of their Redmond Town Center campus, but their request needed a deeper, more nuanced approach than a typical surface refresh. Working in a small space and with a tight budget, our redesign had to express Microsoft’s core value of human-centered design. It needed to be both secure and fully usable by anyone, of all abilities and ages. As an experience, it had to fit easily within Microsoft’s global brand guidelines. And we should use ordinary materials to do innovative things. After refining three initial design concepts, our final lobby redesign successfully packs a lot of programming, meaning, and intention into a compact space.

Chloe on Madison, located in the heart of Capitol Hill, embodies a refined simplicity that reveals its sophistication upon closer inspection. This 137-unit, LEED for Homes Platinum-certified mixed-use building effortlessly transitions from the vibrant retail scene along East Madison Street to the quieter residential side street, offering both urban energy and peaceful retreat. The building’s massing and materials strike a delicate balance between public and private realms. The retail-facing side is defined by sleek white panels, presenting a confident, uniform profile that anchors the active streetscape. As the building shifts toward the residential mews, the design softens with black tones, organic patterns, and lush greenery, creating a more intimate, garden-like atmosphere. At a distance, Chloe on Madison harmonizes with its surroundings, but up close, its thoughtful details come into focus: integrated venting in the façade, the textural depth of board-form concrete, and smooth horizontal lines that connect one element to another. Inside, a striking three-story atrium, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a light sculpture by artist Ben Zamora, infuses the space with natural light and volume, offering an unexpected sense of openness. This fusion of inside and outside reflects both the needs of residents and the spirit of Seattle. A grand staircase connects the atrium to the exterior, allowing residents to easily bring bikes inside or socialize with friends in outdoor spaces across multiple levels. The building's amenities—rooftop deck, co-working spaces, communal kitchens, lounges, and a fitness area—support versatility and connection. Inside each unit, high-quality finishes create a comfortable, inviting environment, with expansive views of downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic Mountains visible upon entry.

For many, especially international students, college is the first home away from home, presenting challenges like leaving family and familiar comforts. When Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, WA, identified the need for on-campus housing, they sought not just buildings but a vibrant community. Our design for Cedar Hall embodies this vision. Acting as advisors as well as architects, we knew successful student housing requires a cohesive effort involving student programs and intentional design. A progressive design-build team was formed, gathering input through workshops and surveys to ensure our design met the community’s needs. The idea of cultivating community guided our approach. The floorplan encourages interaction with lounge areas between stairways and a strategic location near the campus transit station. The upper-level library offers stunning views of Mount Baker, while the Pod, a double-height social space, invites connection. We also prioritized privacy and study opportunities. Each unit features side-by-side bedrooms around a shared living room, maximizing space for future development. Above the entry, three levels of study areas illustrate the building’s focus on both community and academics. Our material choices reflect Whatcom County’s agricultural heritage. Glulam beams connect Cedar Hall’s exterior with its interior, and natural wood flooring enhances the aesthetic. Cedar Hall connects students to each other and to the vibrant city of Bellingham, creating a nurturing environment for growth and development.

Located in the vibrant heart of Capitol Hill, Seattle University—a Jesuit Catholic institution—is experiencing rapid growth, necessitating new student housing that reflects its urban character and commitment to personal reflection. We designed Vi Hilbert Hall with a student-centered approach, emphasizing efficiency and informed by consultations with students and staff. Utilizing VR modeling, our design accommodates 307 beds across eight floors for upper-level and graduate students, offering a mix of studio and four-bedroom apartments, alongside versatile lounges for study and social gatherings. Architecturally, the hall embodies Seattle University’s spirit through robust materials like wood, concrete, brick, and steel, promoting the Jesuit principle of cura personalis—caring for the whole person. Our exploration of “eloquentia perfecta,” which emphasizes reasoned expression, guided our balance of high bed counts with essential communal spaces. The residences prioritize comfort, featuring modern built-ins and kitchens that maximize natural light and ventilation. Expansive two-story windows in the entryway invite the campus community, while an homage to a tribal elder honors cultural preservation. As night falls, the entryway becomes a beacon of warmth, essential during Seattle’s long winters. The lounge area fosters community, with a large kitchen for communal meals and smaller lounges for private study. Virtual reality was crucial throughout the design process, enabling efficient problem-solving and stakeholder engagement. The exterior features dynamic metal panels that shift in tone with the sunlight, ensuring Vi Hilbert Hall harmonizes with Seattle University’s architectural language and culture.

Many of The University of Washington’s on-campus student housing structures are decades old, desperately in need of revitalization. This update is vital for accommodating a growing student population and enhancing academic success. Mercer Court, a key component of this initiative, introduces 900 beds to a previously underutilized site at the campus's southwestern edge. Consisting of five buildings overlooking Portage Bay, Mercer Court was designed by Ankrom Moisan and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios to create a vibrant, community-focused environment. The team turned the challenge of a large excavation into an opportunity by constructing the largest stormwater cistern on a university campus, capturing rainwater for reuse in the laundry facility and saving an estimated 627,000 gallons of potable water annually. The layout celebrates bay views and maximizes natural light, with outward-flaring windows providing many rooms glimpses of the water. The design resembles an open hand, with four “fingers” extending toward the bay and a central plaza serving as a gathering space for events and a farmers’ market featuring produce from the site’s urban farm. Mercer Court’s architecture draws inspiration from its waterfront setting, with dark earth-tone clinker brick and large-scale metal cladding reflecting the ripples of the bay. Stacked and staggered massing mirrors the surrounding hills, creating a seamless transition between land and water. The development fosters dynamic opportunities for students to connect, build friendships, and embark on their collegiate journeys in an enriching environment.

Vancouver, Washington, has a symphony, but the only performance space available in the city is a local high school. To attract national touring groups, the city needs a dedicated, professional performance space that reflects the region’s dedication to the arts. Our design concept for the New Performance Hall at Clark College explores the dream of a regional art center and puts art on center stage. Situated on a meandering campus greenway famous for spring cherry blossoms, the Glass House reflects the location’s natural surroundings. A beautiful glass arc lets in natural light into an art gallery space, lobby, and café. It surrounds a 1300-seat concert hall with a welcoming glow of clear and colored glass. Our vision for the New Performance Hall at Clark College encourages world class performance in Vancouver. Together with an elegant exhibit-style lobby, the design draws the community together in celebration of the arts.

Skyline’s Olympic Tower ushers in a new era of luxury living and comprehensive care for seniors in Seattle, offering a blend of integrated, people-centered programs. Designed in close collaboration with Transforming Age, the City of Seattle, and resident liaisons from the existing Skyline community, the project rises from a small, steeply sloping site in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood. The result is a stunning 21-story high-rise that not only provides seniors with an extraordinary living environment but also enriches their social and cultural experiences, all while offering breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and the city skyline. The vision for Olympic Tower reflects the ambition to “transform the perception of age” by blending luxury, elegance, and integrated amenities into a space that promotes an enhanced quality of life. Vertical living offers many advantages for seniors, particularly in fostering a compact, connected community ideal for aging in place. Our design creates a seamless connection between the residents and the city beyond, with easy access to the surrounding urban landscape while ensuring that life inside remains vibrant and supportive. A distinctive curved, glazed exterior maximizes the sweeping panoramic views, while a solid cementitious base anchors the tower to the First Hill neighborhood. This striking design was finalized after our visualization team presented a fly-through animation that won the approval of the client and key project stakeholders, cementing their confidence in the building’s aesthetic and function. At its heart, Olympic Tower is about connection—between people, spaces, and the wider world. The design creates a unique and inviting building that connects the amenities of the entire Skyline community. A spacious 5,000-square-foot performance hall at the ground level sets the tone, offering an active hub for cultural and social gatherings. Whether residents are meeting in the living room lobby or sharing stories over coffee in the corner bistro, the space fosters an atmosphere of warmth, accessibility, and engagement, creating a vibrant, 24/7 community that thrives in the heart of Seattle.

The 24-story Murano Tower brings contemporary senior living to Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, inspired by art’s ability to connect people. Designed to promote social interaction with the community and ease of movement within the building, Murano integrates post-modernist touches and salon-style art installations.

The building fosters intergenerational connections, especially with its shared spaces like a public café and auditorium, located across from the Frye Art Museum. At street level, Murano promotes human interaction with clear connections to the building’s entrances and a pedestrian-friendly streetscape. The exterior evokes a salon-style art arrangement, with vibrant colors and lush plantings. As a LEED Gold-certified building, Murano emphasizes sustainability with features like a living wall, a green roof, and a communal garden area, while a stormwater-treatment system purifies rainwater before returning it to Puget Sound. Biophilic design is integrated throughout, with memory care gardens, two Eldergrow gardens, and an outdoor terrace with a chef’s garden. The 24th-floor Solarium features a large living green wall, enhancing well-being and creating a healing environment. Murano Tower redefines senior living by combining art, sustainability, and community, providing a vibrant space for residents to thrive and age in place.

Mercy Othello Plaza is a transit-oriented, mixed-use development designed to create a healthier, more resilient community by addressing both the needs of Seattle’s low-income households and the broader urban fabric. Situated just one block north of Othello Station, this six-story building connects residents to the city’s vibrant amenities—parks, schools, grocery stores, and cultural centers—all within a ten-minute walk. The 108 affordable one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments sit atop Mercy Housing Northwest’s offices, creating a neighborhood anchor and increasing the nonprofit’s visibility and accessibility within the community. The design of Mercy Othello Plaza takes full advantage of its location, placing both buildings strategically to face the nearby transit center. Residents enjoy direct visual access to the light rail station from the end of each corridor, reinforcing the building’s connection to the rhythm of public transportation. The bold red and white striped façade along Martin Luther King Jr. Way catches the eye, while the lighter building masses at the corners anchor the structure and frame the residential entry. Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of the project, with thick, 2x8 walls ensuring a quiet, comfortable environment with air infiltration standards comparable to Passive House design. The reinforced windows along the transit and MLK sides further reduce noise, making for peaceful, energy-efficient homes. The design also includes stacked units, vertical circulation cores, and thoughtful building envelope and ventilation strategies, ensuring the building is cost-effective to build, maintain, and operate. The building fosters community interaction, with a multi-purpose space on the second floor that opens onto a courtyard, encouraging social gatherings and engagement. A community kitchen, computer workstations, and Mercy Housing offices serve as gathering points for residents and the broader neighborhood, supporting after-school programs and ESL classes. Mercy Othello Plaza exemplifies how thoughtful, transit-oriented design can support affordable living while fostering connections to both the city and the community.

The Kaiser Permanente Renton Medical Center campus is vast, housing 2,500+ employees in four buildings, and located in a business park on the outskirts of Seattle. Given this size and location, the Group Health team wanted to transform these grey-and-white cubicles into an exciting, comprehensible new space that encourages people to connect, converse, celebrate the brand, and get outside. Ankrom Moisan’s brand design for the Renton campus uses vibrant colors, custom art and typefaces, and centers on a distinctly Pacific Northwest-inspired aesthetic. Flexible workspaces support frequent reconfigurations and employee transfers, custom, large-scale graphics encourage people to move around and talk to one another, and the design helps people understand where they are and how to work best.

Park-and-Rides are traditionally created for cars—a place to park before hopping on public transit. When C-TRAN chose us to design an ambitious new model for Bus Transit-Oriented Development, we instead centered our model around what matters most: people. Working closely with the local community and the city, our master plan for Fisher’s Landing prioritizes the pedestrian experience and equitable access to transportation. The plan makes bus ridership an integral part of a healthy, equitable future for Vancouver and East County.

Cornish College of the Arts is a small, private liberal arts school dedicated to educating students in an environment that nurtures creativity and prepares them to become artists, citizens, and innovators. Located in the rapidly expanding South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, Cornish was in urgent need of housing for 300 students due to an expiring lease. Our team designed a 20-story high-rise that accommodates student housing, academics, and academic offices that was delivered on an aggressive, 28-month schedule—from conception to opening. Our team streamlined communication and worked closely with the owner, developer, and contractor to shorten timelines and lower costs. The LEED® Gold for Homes Mid-Rise is a new live/learn center that's become an icon for the campus.

Consensus building. Inclusivity. Deconstruction. Coffman Engineers' new space is a pure expression of the company’s cultural values and personality. To get there, we started with a fully democratic, inclusive design process. Input from 100+ employees laid a design foundation for a space that celebrates their client focused philosophy and fun-forward culture.

Since their inception in 1983, custom-home builder Charter Construction has seen plenty of changes to their business mix. As their commercial segment grew to become the center of their offerings, the overall market perception of their custom-home services grew less clear. New clients began to primarily associate Charter Construction with commercial development, wondering why such a key player in that market would participate in custom-home builds. But Charter never questioned their deep expertise and passion for custom-home building. Nor their willing desire to disrupt the marketplace once again. To correct the market's misperception around their custom-home offering, Ankrom Moisan helped Charter Construction build a new approach with a newly focused team and brand: Charter Custom Homes. Through thorough research and stakeholder interviews with both architects and homeowners alike, we began seeing a clear picture of what to amplify and what to let go of—reigniting their passion for disruption, now supported by their unmatched seasoned expertise.

Clark County has experienced, like many manufacturing communities, a steady decline in its skilled industrial workforce. To change that, the City of Ridgefield, Clark College, and the Clark College Foundation envisioned a new training facility, The Workforce Innovation Center, to educate their next generation of industrial leaders. When called upon to design the facility, we expanded the visionary plan into a full campus program for the entire region. The Boschma Innovation District will bring students and instructors together with Ridgefield residents, K-12 students, and manufacturing and technology partners on a 10-acre site. Our conceptual plan for the full site program includes a retail main street, offices for the City of Ridgefield, a Clark College satellite campus, and bike trail system that connects to the entire region. The Workforce Innovation Center is the centerpiece. It will offer the people of Clark County the training and skills they need to take advantage of local jobs and economic opportunity.

College is a major transitional time in a student’s life, and their first steps into this new adventure are crucial. Sitting high on a hill in the center of the Bellevue College campus, the Bellevue College Student Success Center represents not only a trailhead leading to campus, but a map to the next stage in a student’s educational journey—a place where they’ll receive guidance, reflect on their progress, and celebrate their achievements. A 71,462 sq. ft., ground-up, progressive design-build project, the building’s layout mirrors a student’s journey at the college, with entry services located on the first floor, student support services on the second floor, and students success services on the top floor. Our team worked closely with Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) representatives through rigorous value engineering processes, topographical challenges, and management changes. We successfully managed all these considerations and worked in conjunction with Bellevue College’s stakeholders to drive the design while maintaining project goals, schedule, budget, quality, and contractual obligations. The project is on track to reach its targeted certification of LEED Silver, on time and within budget.

Nestled along Lake Boren in Newcastle, Washington, Aegis Gardens is a pioneering senior living community that blends the rich cultural heritage of the area’s largest Chinese American population with a focus on holistic care. Drawing on two decades of senior living expertise, the community integrates Eastern and Western approaches to nurture the whole person, offering 89 assisted living and 21 memory care units with studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. Bilingual staff fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese provide 24-hour care, and primary care is available through a partnership with the University of Washington medical program. Beyond senior housing, Aegis Gardens also serves as a cultural hub, featuring a multi-cultural center and a bilingual preschool that fosters intergenerational engagement, making it the first community of its kind. The 7.47-acre campus is designed with traditional Chinese elements, including guardian lions at the entrance, and follows Feng Shui principles to create a serene and balanced environment. Sustainable materials, expansive windows, and biophilic design connect residents with the natural landscape, while fostering a calming atmosphere for both residents and staff. Inside, spaces are rich with Chinese art and antiques, with areas dedicated to activities like mahjong, Tai Chi, and flower arranging. The wellness suite includes a salon, massage and acupuncture rooms, and a saltwater therapy pool. Residents enjoy easy access to outdoor activities on Lake Boren, with walking paths, gardens, and an amphitheater for community events. The on-site multicultural center hosts exhibitions and celebrations, and the bilingual preschool fosters respect and understanding between children and seniors. Aegis Gardens is not just a senior living community; it’s a cultural epicenter setting a new standard for Chinese-focused senior living and intergenerational connection in the Northwest.

The Pillar and Reel families envisioned a legacy property at the heart of Seattle—a high-rise that feels more like a custom home. This vision comes to life through a 28-story tower in South Lake Union, designed by Ankrom Moisan, blending luxury and sustainability with a deep connection to the natural environment. Inspired by phototropism—the biological principle where plants turn toward the sun—9th and John rotates as it rises, turning to face the lush, forested Denny Park. Just as a tree seeks light, the tower steps and turns to maximize sunlight exposure for residents, with staggered terraces on the upper floors offering views of the park, Elliot Bay, and the Space Needle. A podium at the terrace level also extends these scenic views, inviting residents and guests to enjoy the greenery of the park. Sustainability is at the core of the design. The terraces not only serve as green spaces, but also support stormwater retention and native plantings. The rooftop patios cleverly incorporate fiber cement panels with programmable LED lights, eliminating the need for traditional mechanical screens and elevator overruns. Inside, each unit is designed to bring nature into focus, with every floorplan offering a direct line of sight to a window upon entry, connecting residents to the surrounding environment. Targeting LEED Gold certification, 9th and John integrates sustainable features with its striking design. The tower’s three-story stone-clad base supports 8,500 square feet of accessible roof terraces, with retail space at ground level. The 25-story curtain wall faces south, with a façade that celebrates its connection to Denny Park. This project is a lasting legacy—one that blends family history, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the natural world.

For this stunning 44-story residential high-rise in Seattle’s vibrant Belltown neighborhood, our design for Fifth and Lenora began with a deep analysis of sun exposure, views, and site adjacencies to bring light deep into the building and maximize outdoor access throughout. The twisting form of the tower rises gracefully, straightening as it descends to transition into a podium with 5,700 square feet of engaging retail space, anchoring the building within the urban fabric. Our concept blends tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from the multicultural context of the neighborhood. A fusion of pan-Asian arts and urban living principles defines the interior spaces, creating a striking contrast between the building's exterior and the interior experience. The twisting profile of the tower not only provides dynamic architectural interest but also opens up opportunities for outdoor spaces, maximizing sunlight and fresh air throughout. This design approach is a direct response to our goal of integrating nature into a residential high-rise, fostering a biophilic environment where natural elements infuse the apartments and amenity spaces. The tower’s rotation allows for sweeping views and sunlight to penetrate deep into the lower levels, flooding the building with light while creating a strong connection to the outdoors. Terrace by terrace, the design transitions down to street level, enhancing the pedestrian experience and creating a seamless connection to the neighborhood. The building does not compete with Seattle’s skyline; rather, it contributes to the neighborhood’s character with thoughtful, human-scaled design that respects the context while creating a dynamic street presence. At the ground level, the 5,700 square feet of retail space inject life and activity into Belltown, with street-facing businesses that encourage a vibrant, interactive urban environment. Our design prioritizes integration, meeting the scale of the neighborhood while adding meaningful architectural presence—an approach that subtly differentiates the tower while embracing its place within the city.

Rising 17 stories in the heart of Seattle’s revitalized waterfront neighborhood, Cyrene redefines the cityscape and signals a new era for Seattle’s urban experience. Inspired by the surrounding brick warehouse buildings and the iconic smokestack of the nearby steam plant, Cyrene blends nostalgic charm with modern sophistication, creating a striking addition to the waterfront. The design brings together clean, contemporary elements with classic materials, including East Coast-style brick masonry and a modern window-wall system that reflects the vibrant patterns and textures of its surroundings. The result is a building that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. The Cyrene takes full advantage of its prime location, offering breathtaking views of Elliott Bay and the city from nearly every corner of the building. An offset core design opens up panoramic vistas of both the water and the cityscape, making the most of the revitalized waterfront. At street level, residents can easily access the waterfront via a lounge and fitness room, while the rooftop deck on the 17th floor offers a community space with a large kitchen and sweeping views of the bay. Private outdoor terraces on the seventh floor offer quiet spaces with views of the Seattle skyline, creating a perfect blend of private and communal living. Cyrene is a sustainable and forward-thinking development, utilizing excess steam from its neighboring plant for heating and excess condensate for cooling. Its exterior—a seamless mix of traditional brick and sleek modern elements—reflects the city’s evolving character while paying homage to its industrial roots. With its modern amenities, sophisticated design, and thoughtful integration into the waterfront neighborhood, Cyrene sets the stage for the future of Seattle’s post-Viaduct urban landscape. It’s not just a building; it’s a new chapter in the city’s architectural story.
