Wishing all our friends a cozy and restful new year! This year’s holiday card features original artwork by Nayive Kalkach, an interior designer at Mithun whose love for art started in her native Mexico City, where she often escaped the intense urbanity by curling up and reading a good book.

Illuminated by winter light, the renovated lobby at 999 Third incorporates bold signage to improve wayfinding and update the identity of this 47-story high rise. Western maple walls feature angular patterning that recalls the building’s prominent structure and the Seattle grid—reinforcing connection to its greater context within the city and region. 📷: @laraswimmer

The Fauntleroy Way Apartments incorporate a mix of residential and commercial units, and foster a vibrant pedestrian environment linked to transit at a gateway to the West Seattle Junction neighborhood. A generous ground-level setback defines a raised walkway along the live/work units, inviting passers-by to linger and explore the shops. Image: Plompmozes

Check out the diagrid timber wave made possible by an 8-axis robotic mill! A member of our team recently attended a workshop at the @universityofbc Centre for Advanced Wood Processing that explored advanced timber fabrication techniques in architecture. The technology enables a digital loop between design and fabrication that opens new doors to innovation in timber construction, and potentially a re-interpretation of wood architecture. The design opportunities are exciting. More info and photos are available via @icdstuttgart at http://icd.uni-stuttgart.de/?p=21333 (link also in bio) 📷: @codyctucker

Volunteers from Mithun are partnering with Sawhorse Revolution to guide students in the design and documentation of a tiny house for a family experiencing homelessness. The team is meeting with eleven Franklin High School students over an eight-week period, teaching design concepts, studying precedent imagery, and hosting collaborative design charrettes and crits. This environment invites students into a memorable project, where ideas are realized, problem-solving skills are sharpened, and chances are taken to do something extraordinary for those around us. Next semester, Sawhorse Revolution will facilitate the construction of this house, built by the same students in collaboration with a professional builder in Seattle. #DesignforPositiveChange
