March Committee Meeting: Diversity Roundtable @ La Union Studio (Registration required for in-person attendance / no registration for virtual attendance)

Join the Diversity Roundtable for the March committee meeting, available either in-person (subject to a 25-person max registration) or on Zoom. We’ll be hearing from the La Union Studio team at their new space in Mt. Baker.

• Firm Description:
  • La Union Studio is an interdisciplinary collaboratory, based in Seattle, Washington. In our studio, we use architecture as a medium to awaken people, enrich communities and inspire creativity. We are a generation of visionaries, movers and shakers, who are committed to advancing exceptional design while cultivating meaningful relationships between people and places. We aim to weave the cultural and historical narratives into the spaces and places we design to reflect the beautifully diverse identities of our clients, their communities, and the neighborhoods they exist in. 
  • At La Union Studio, we view architecture and design as more than just technical disciplines – they are powerful tools for social change and community empowerment. Our practice is grounded in the belief that every space, every building, every neighborhood has the potential to tell a story, reflect a culture, and foster a sense of belonging. By centering the voices and lived-experiences of our communities, we seek to create spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also meaningful and transformative.
