Hope your Monday is bright and cheerful like this workspace at Levi’s Plaza in San Francisco! We recently completed this interior renovation of an historic building on campus – the design concept focused on planning and circulation around the existing skylight, which brings a wealth of daylight down from the office space above to lounge and gathering spaces on the ground level. 📷: @jamestown.lp

When Mithun was founded in 1949, the global CO2 level was at 311 ppm. Earlier this month it hit 420 ppm. This Earth Day, we mark achievements including our offset of all carbon emissions from firm operations since 2004, and reduction of operational carbon within our design portfolio by more than 70% three of the past four years. We also acknowledge the critical need to accelerate efforts to address global warming. . Please join us in framing 2021 as the Year of Embodied Carbon. We commit to developing version 2.0 of the pioneering 2007 buildcarbonneutral.org, a free online carbon calculator, and measuring global warming potential for every design project. #EarthDay #DesignforPositiveChange #YearofEmbodiedCarbon

A pop of color to brighten your week! Our team joined with San Francisco Parks Alliance and neighbors to paint a temporary sidewalk mural at the site of the future Moss Street Eco-Zone, which will include rainwater harvesting, stormwater treatment, habitat and social space. Located in the city’s Filipino Cultural Heritage District, the mural design alludes to forthcoming public realm improvements that use a traditional weaving motif. 📷: @sfparksalliance

We are honored to be included among this year’s recipients and thankful to be part of such a thoughtful and creative design community here in Washington.

The original, Mithun-designed Fairwood Library in Renton, Washington was configured as three side-by-side gable forms. This expansion designed by Schacht Aslani Architects (which joined Mithun in 2019) inserts a long-span, flat-roofed pavilion between the original volumes, creating a central space that organizes the library’s activities. The design connects patrons with views of the surrounding woodland, increases access to the library’s broadening array of resources, and creates a community living room. It’s a story of renewal and connection that was just meant to be. 📷: Tim Bies
