Meet the BuildingWork team. Our name, BuildingWor

Meet the BuildingWork team.

Our name, BuildingWork, reflects our straightforward approach to architecture and design: at a fundamental level we work on buildings – with attention to context, craft, and detail. At the same time, BuildingWork is a verb. It signifies action, teamwork, and collaborative engagement in the processes of design, documentation, and construction.

Through our work, we seek to improve sites, buildings, and neighborhoods by enhancing the sense of place that makes them unique. Our approach to design evolves from the discovery and analysis of cultural, historical, and physical conditions, informed by our clients’ vision and goals, and driven by the interests of the communities we serve.

As one of six existing Carnegie Libraries in the Seattle Public Library system, the Green Lake Branch is a cornerstone of the neighborhood. Our design approach integrates critical, contemporary improvements while honoring the building’s historic architecture. If you are in the area, stop by!

Last night, the @aiaseattle Honor Awards were host

Last night, the @aiaseattle Honor Awards were hosted at our Town Hall Seattle Project.

The AIA Seattle’s Honor Awards explore and celebrate projects designed by architects throughout Washington state. This annual program provides an important opportunity for the design community to share and recognize achievements among practitioners and within the community at large. Our team always looks forward to the AIA awards ceremony and enjoyed this year’s event hosted at Town Hall Seattle - a good example of our work in civic design, adaptive reuse, and historic preservation: https://www.buildingwork.design/projects/town-hall-seattle/.

Congratulations to all of those recognized.
