Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA) Offices – Seattle
Weaver Architects and Ekorn Studio transformed 32,000 square feet into a modern workspace for Magnusson Klemencic Associates in Seattle, focusing on steel, wood, and concrete elements with dynamic branding graphics.
Weaver Architects and Ekorn Studio reimagined 32,000 sf into a timeless sense of place for Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA), a Pacific Northwest structural engineering icon with a global presence. Designed with the firm’s vision, identity, and culture in mind, the result offers a host of flexible and dynamic spaces that energize and engage the professional talent for whom the space is meant to cater. Design moves intentionally focused on expressing steel, wood, and concrete alongside biophilic media, static 2d and 3d illuminated branding graphics, and time-lapse digital displays. The result culminates in a world-class facility that seamlessly weaves progressive branding treatments and easily navigable user experiences throughout two floors of light-filled space with stunning views of the Seattle skyline that MKA has had a hand in creating.
