Mark Johnson, AIA

Principal

With a career delivering one of a kind public and private projects, Mark brings a place and people focused approach to his work. Ever a design collaborator and strategist, the voice of clients, teammates, and community are centered. His work with cultural places, landmarks, and retreats has developed into a keen eye toward architecture, landscape, and experience as a system, yielding a true sustainability of place. His approach to scale based regenerative design matches occupant, program, and climate to place in projects, ranging from interpretive focused nature centers to public parks, adaptive reuse, museums, heirloom homes, and municipal infrastructure.

Layering conceptual design within ecological processes, Mark’s work celebrates the human activities of a place through the embrace of nature and materials, the movement of the sun, and the passage of time. His ability to listen, interpret, and ask the right questions to foster collaboration is specifically beneficial. He strives for accountable sustainability through research, passive before active systems, and double or triple duty solutions that inspire efficiency and design excellence at multiple levels. At once of the place and for its people, Mark creates places to live, celebrate, reflect, and learn.

Mark is a licensed architect in Washington and Oregon.
