Gabby, an energetic and seasoned Architect Planner, stated, 

“I am interested in building this business to sustain itself long beyond me. We want to focus on Seattle, but Snohomish and Pierce counties are growing faster in some of our markets than the Seattle area.

"At our new location we will be well positioned to help our clients with more room, and an easy location right off of Interstate 5.”

Current projects include a redesign of an office/retail mixed use building, numerous tenant improvements, three church projects, a rehabilitation center, a Christian school, medical / dental offices, a subdivision for seven custom residences, and three senior living facilities.
