ABOUT Our Firm

Since our founding, Weber Thompson has designed over 10,000 residences in low, mid- and high-rise structures. Every day, people from all walks of life come home to one of our designs. From young to old, individuals to families of all kinds, from those with lower incomes to the affluent, we are proud to serve the full breadth of our community. This work motivates us; it’s sparks our passion to create. We want to make a difference in people’s lives and in the community. For these homes to be successful, every detail matters. We understand the intimate role these spaces play in people’s lives. To that end, we work with providers to meet the needs of their residents, designing homes that support them in their daily lives by providing healthy places; places of safety and respite that are flexible enough to allow for a wide range of living styles, ages, family sizes and configurations. Equally important, and perhaps more difficult to capture, is the level of personal commitment Weber Thompson, and this team in particular, brings to serving our affordable housing clients. Whether it’s organizing a book drive for the Raven Terrace lending library, building a Tiny House for LIHI, or working through a gazillion permutations of the tax credit programs with Bellwether, Weber Thompson approaches affordable housing as part of our mission. We understand how difficult these projects are and how hard our clients work to serve their communities. We share our clients’ passion and work hard alongside them to create something exceptional for the diverse community that will call each project home. Everyone deserves a stable home that they can be proud of and a place in their community. We understand that we have a chance to make a difference in someone’s life through our work. Designing homes of dignity is a job we take very seriously.

Maggie has over ten years of experience creating spaces that range Raven Terrace at Yesler Terrace from retail to large international mixed-use projects. Seeing residential architecture as a great extension of designing for targeted groups, she joined Weber Thompson to work on affordable housing and market-rate residential projects.
