NAC|Architecture
Design leadership holds the key to community. A great architect understands this intuitively. From making sure that kindergartners get to the school cafeteria easily to rethinking the way physicians and patients interact within healthcare environments, discovering the best combination of functionality and beauty is what motivates our architects to create inviting spaces that work for the greater good.

We create enduring architecture that challenges and inspires. Architecture that is sustainable, practical and thoughtfully conceived. Employing the aspirations of our clients and our community as our benchmarks, we base success on delivering collaborative design solutions that make environments productive, exciting and simply enjoyable. While our projects span a range of building types, our focus on each client and each project is highly concentrated.
We have offices located in Seattle and Spokane, Washington; Los Angeles, California; Denver, Colorado and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
