Mahlum Architects is an architectural firm offering a broad range of architecture, planning, and interiors services from offices in Seattle and Portland. Our roots are in the Northwest, and since our founding in 1938, we’ve contributed some of the region’s major landmarks, as well as significant public work and private sector design throughout the West coast. In that time, we’ve successfully completed projects from $1 million to $175 million in construction value, and won over 100 awards for design excellence.

It is our mission “to create architecture that is conceptual, enduring and poetic, with visionary people to enrich the human experience.”

What does this mean? It means we expect a design to be organized around a simple, resonant concept; there’s an overall idea that serves as the project’s “glue.” It must be elegant and precise – poetic, in the way it cuts to the quick (with grace). And it must be a design that endures, with an internal imperative that defies trends or time.

Bottom line, we seek to create architecture that reflects the client’s culture to the outside world, and inspires the life within. Our experiences, after all, are shaped by the spaces that surround us. All the more reason to design spaces that enrich that experience every day.

We’d love to hear from you. Feel free to call, visit or email us at info@mahlum.com.
