Principal

Ross brings to his projects over twenty years of experience in public construction contracting coupled with exceptional design, coordination, and management abilities.  Unique to practicing architects, his early front-line experience as a contractor gives Ross a special understanding of the bidding and construction process, enabling him to produce very biddable and constructible documents.  In a prior life, Ross was one of the three individuals responsible for the design of the iconic  “Fremont Troll”, a community design project located under Seattle’s Aurora Bridge.

Ross is a LEED Accredited Professional and a member of the Construction Specification Institute.  He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Italy (NIAUSI).
