Weber Thompson is an architecture firm based in Seattle, Washington. The firm, which comprises over 70 architects, and primarily works with high-rise buildings, interior design, and landscape architecture. Weber Thompson also specializes in affordable housing and sustainable design, with 16 projects earning LEED certification.[1]
History
The firm was founded by Scott Thompson, Blaine Weber, and Jeffrey Hamlett in 1987 as Weber Thompson Hamlett Architects. Thompson and Weber had met in Hawaii, sharing an interest in surfing, and graduated from the architecture program together at the University of Hawaii.[2] Hamlett, who was also an attorney, later moved away from the company to establish a law practice for architectural contracts.[3] Kristen Scott became the firm's third principal in 1996, three years after joining the firm as an associate.[4]
In April 2008, Weber Thompson moved its headquarters to The Terry Thomas Building in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood;[5] the building, designed in-house by the firm, is LEED Platinum certified and was planned with sustainable design features.[6][7]
During the late-2000s recession, the number of employees at Weber Thompson dropped from 94 in early 2007 to 54 by late 2008,[8] following similar trends that affected other architecture firms in the region.[9]
Scott Thompson retired in 2015,[2] and was replaced by new promoted partners, Amanda Keating AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Jeff Reibman AIA, LEED AP BD+C, and Elizabeth Holland MBA, LEED AP.[10][11]
