We believe in the transformative power of design. During Pride Month and throughout the year, we support the LGBTQIA+ community and honor diversity in our practice and in our work, designing inclusive spaces that support safe, welcoming spaces for everyone. Recent work includes pro bono master planning and permitting services for non-profit We Shine’s Avalon Village–Portland’s first micro-village of tiny-homes prioritizing LGBTQIA+ people. This past year we’ve taken a look at the shift of societal norms surrounding public restrooms. When designed with intentionality, these spaces can create a sense of welcoming for all by improving efficiencies, reducing wait times, tackling safety concerns, and addressing social constructs. Especially on higher education campuses, students are driving change to put inclusive restrooms on display. This includes a redesign of restrooms in Fir Acres Theater at Lewis & Clark College in Portland. A Gallery in our Seattle office showcases emerging local underrepresented artists, particularly women, people of color and LGBTQIA2S+ artists. The space currently features a mural by Lydia Jewel Gerard. We continually strive for a more inclusive and accepting world supporting an equitable society for everyone.
