Wittman Estes is a Seattle-based architecture and planning practice that seeks to merge built forms with their landscapes into a single, cohesive environment. In response to rapid environmental and technological change, the firm designs spaces where indoor areas flow outward and outdoor spaces are livable and visually connected to the surroundings. By reducing the friction between buildings and gardens, it aims to balance interior and exterior spaces while advancing cross-disciplinary work that integrates architecture and landscape. The practice serves clients within the architecture and planning field, delivering projects that harmonize built form with natural landscape to support active lifestyles and a heightened sense of place. A notable recent development is the 2020 announcement of Duwamish Crossings, Wittman Estes' concept for ecological connectors across the Duwamish River intended to replace the West Seattle Bridge and enable crossing by car, bike, and foot. Based in Seattle, Washington, Wittman Estes operates as a mid-sized firm within its regional market.
