As designer of both the office building and the tenant space that will serve as their offices, ORB Architects feels this space is a perfect fit.

PUMPKIN-CARVING BENEFIT DECLARED
A GREAT SUCCESS BY AIA SEATTLE
ORB Architects and Other Seattle Firms "Carved for a Cause"
RENTON, Washington—November 10, 2008—What happens when you give creative types a carving knife and pumpkin and tell them their efforts will benefit an organization that helps communities in crisis develop recovery programs? Well, apparently they bring it.
Firms were invited to submit their entries for consideration in five categories: Traditional, Starchitecture, Freestyle, Judges' Choice, and People's Choice. The winners were announced at a reception on October 30th.
Free pizza and bragging rights enticed enough participation that there had to be a vote to narrow down which pumpkins went on to be entries. In the end, ORB Architects submitted two pumpkins—one featuring mice winding their way through holes called "Ball of Cheese," and another representing a friendly ghost from the classic video game Pac-Man. Though neither of their entries won, the ORB Architects team enjoyed participating and also deemed the event successful.

ORB ANNOUNCES HOLIDAY HATS-OFF CAMPAIGN
RENTON—December 7, 2007—The staff at ORB Architects are taking their holiday hats off to support Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County. Thirteen hats worn by ORB team members for their holiday card photo will be auctioned on eBay to raise money to help Habitat for Humanity’s local homebuilding efforts. ORB will match all funds raised from the auction, with 100% of the proceeds donated to the Seattle/King County chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
The auction begins December 10th and runs through December 20th. Bidders can access the auction site via www.orbarchitects.com/holidayhats. The 13 festive hats range from a fashionably chic shreddin’ snowboarder cap to a practical and warm, furry mad-bomber hat to a hand-knit, whimsical stocking cap. Bidding for each hat starts at $5.00.
"We thought the hats would make for a fun holiday photo, while enticing our colleagues and clients to get involved in our fundraising effort," said Geoff Anderson, Principal of ORB Architects. "Habitat for Humanity is a natural fit that really complements our focus on building strong and healthy communities, in part through the design of affordable housing."
