The Architect's Newspaper Publishes an Op‑ed by Signal Founder Mark Johnson
This highly selective award recognized Signal as one of the best small firms in the West.
Tucked away in a fir and cedar forest at the foot of Mt. Teneriffe, the North Bend home is carefully located to retain as many trees as possible, while celebrating the old growth tree stumps and boulders on the site.
Signal is honored to have Encompass Northwest recognized by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design with a 2023 American Architecture Award.
"The nation’s highest public awards given by a non‑commercial, non‑trade affiliated, public arts, culture and educational institution."
"There is an inherent process here that is replicable – a roadmap is established by this project that embodies very high design principles and a site‑specific look at the existing building." ‑ Katherine Darnstadt, juror
“We really wanted to give the highest award to these beautiful projects that embed all the values that architecture should promote, in a very simple, beautiful, orchestrated way.” – Tatiana Bilbao, juror
