SMR Architects

SMR Architects is a 35-person, full-service architecture firm established in Seattle in 1977 as Stickney & Murphy Architects. Over our 48-year history, we have emerged as a leader in the fields of affordable housing, historic preservation, and sustainable design. For us, architecture is not just schematics and specifications; it is about the people who ultimately use and inhabit the buildings we design. At SMR, we create living spaces; our structures provide a place for life to happen as they enrich, anchor, and interact with the neighborhoods of which they are a part. Our team’s collaborative and creative approach to problem-solving, experience with neighborhood outreach and engagement, and sustainable philosophy help us serve both our clients and the community, always putting the interests of people first. Our staff and associates are engaged in the community and regularly volunteer for non-profit, historic, and service-based organizations. Our work is frequently recognized both locally and nationally for its exemplary contribution to affordable housing design.
