Seattle architecture firm connecting people to place through design exploration.
About us
Focused on connecting people with place, Signal Architecture + Research PLLC works to design inspiring places for humankind, drawing distinct influence of experience through materials, function, light, nature, and sound. Communication, listening, and collaboration – from clients to communities creates the foundation for our approach to integrative design dialog. We strive for design expression that elicits the story of a place within its context, be it interior, park, home, public facility, cabin, or progressive infrastructure. Through a design process based in research and discovery, we test and play within the merger between pragmatism and the intangible. We seek to discover the outstanding and quiet patterns between places and program in solutions that impart narrative and design discipline. We see an interdependence between the design disciplines, where the language of landscape, mechanical, structural, lighting, and technical systems are mutually influential, reflective of context. Layering conceptual design upon research and natural processes, Signal celebrates the human activities of a place through perception, the movement of the sun, and the passage of time. At once of the place and for its people, we strive to make inspiring places to live, celebrate, work, reflect, and learn.

Great highlight of our ongoing work with Harlequin Productions at the State Theater in Olympia, built by FORMA Construction Company. The first phase of this multi-year project aims to amplify the visitor experience and energize staff and show casts by significantly enhancing the operational and acoustical functionality, and integrating key back-of-house building system improvements that will finally give actors a real home in the building. https://lnkd.in/g6ffHqZv

What can a museum do for its community? An enduring museum doesn't only observe its place and community, but is a part of it— it finds a home at the top of the community's toolbox as one of its most helpful places. This work is about access, visibility, and meeting the need.
