ORB ARCHITECTS

COMMUNITY INSPIRED ARCHITECTURE

ORB has a revitalized energy which is evident in our updated name: ORB Architects, Inc. We believe it better conveys our purpose to both clients and fellow professionals. Along with our new name, comes a new drive and passion to pursue projects that allow us to help make our community a better place.

Our new logo was designed to symbolize our approach to our work. We strive to understand all the spheres of community that affect our projects. From the street where a housing project is built and the surrounding neighborhood, to the Puget Sound region and the entire Pacific Northwest – all of these spheres of community affect our projects to some degree. Our goal is to understand the relationships and integrate the needs between the community and our work. This enables us to design in a way that makes a positive impact.

RESPONSIVE DESIGN

We practice responsive design. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, architecturally sound and environmentally sensitive, our designs are responsive to the needs of the people who will use them, the people who will own and operate them and the needs of the surrounding community.

OUR TRACK RECORD

We thrive on solving design challenges with innovative solutions while working within our clients’ budgets and schedules. This dedication to design excellence has resulted in less than 2% cost overruns on our projects in the last 10 years. Less than 5% of our projects have exceeded the design schedule and on-site changes for new construction were less than 3% of total constructions costs in the past 10 years.

We take great pride in the knowledge that our design projects meet or exceed our clients expectations and benefit the communities they serve. It’s our reason for being.
