We’re excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new Louisiana Children’s Museum in City Park tomorrow, August 31st! By integrating indoor and outdoor interactive experiences in a park setting, the new campus presents a unique model for children’s museums. Exhibits and community resources are distributed across two linked buildings, carefully sited to protect existing live oaks while enhancing the lagoon and open space for environmental education. The choreography of the visitor experience connects people and nature—moving through groves of live oaks, across water, and into a courtyard and sensory gardens—while engaging children in hands-on exploration of the world and important issues of our time. 📷: Webb Bland

Following Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana Children's Museum developed a new model for a children’s museum—one that combines environmental education and colocation of community resources with the conventional play elements. It has been a pleasure and honor to join the museum and community in this journey. This Saturday, August 31, the new campus opens to the public in New Orleans City Park! The Times-Picayune / New Orleans Advocate offers a preview of the Mithun-designed building and landscape.

The Huxley is nominated for the 2019 Seattle Design Review People's Choice Award in Urban Design Excellence! Located on a gateway site to the West Seattle Junction neighborhood, The Huxley provides transit-oriented housing density at a neighborhood scale. Inspiration for the building’s massing, detailing and material choices was derived from the site’s connection to the West Seattle steel industry. A generous ground-level setback defines a raised walkway at the live/work units, inviting passers-by to linger and explore the shops. 📷: @k7scott Cast your ballot in person at the Seattle Design Festival Block Party at Lake Union Park (860 Terry Ave N) this weekend, August 24 & 25, 10am – 7pm! For those out of the area, we’ll share online voting information when available.
