New & Noteworthy

Open House Recap

Last month, Milbrandt Architects hosted an open house to welcome our valued clients, consultants, and partners to our newly designed office space and studio. It was an afternoon filled with excitement, laughter, and a fantastic atmosphere as teams who have collaborated virtually for so long finally had the chance to meet in person.

Our new space was buzzing with energy as everyone explored the studio, mingled, and enjoyed the opportunity to connect face-to-face. The event was not just about showcasing our office; it was about celebrating the strong relationships we’ve built over time, even from a distance.

A special shoutout goes to Gourmondo Catering for their exceptional work with the food and bar. They truly elevated the experience, ensuring that everyone was more than satisfied and allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the open house. It was a pleasure to share our new space with you, and we look forward to many more collaborations in the future!

To those we missed, we’re sorry you couldn’t make it! We hope to welcome you to our new space in the near future and look forward to hosting you soon.  Our new space was designed to be as inviting and efficient as possible. With brand new 35″ curved monitors, standing desks, and massage and heated chairs, the office offers a new level of productivity. The open-plan layout also encourages collaboration and teamwork, both vital to the success of our projects. We are thrilled to be in this new environment and excited to take on more projects in this dynamic space.

      

Women in Engineering Day

Celebrating Women in Engineering Day: A Tribute from Milbrandt Architects

At Milbrandt Architects, we believe in the power of diversity and the remarkable contributions that women bring to the fields of architecture and engineering. Today, as we celebrate Women in Engineering Day, we take a moment to honor the talented women who are shaping the built environment and driving innovation in our industry.

Breaking Barriers and Building Futures

The journey of women in engineering and architecture has been one of resilience, determination, and groundbreaking achievements. From early pioneers who shattered glass ceilings to the current generation of leaders and innovators, women have continually redefined what is possible in our field. At Milbrandt Architects, we are proud to work alongside these extraordinary professionals who inspire us every day with their creativity, expertise, and passion.

The Intersection of Architecture and Engineering

Architecture and engineering are intrinsically linked, with both disciplines playing a crucial role in the design and construction of our built environment. Women engineers bring a unique perspective to architectural projects, contributing to the structural integrity, sustainability, and functionality of our designs. Their expertise ensures that our visions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe, efficient, and resilient.

Join Us in Celebrating

On this Women in Engineering Day, we invite you to join us in celebrating the remarkable achievements of women engineers. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a young student aspiring to make your mark, your contributions are invaluable to the future of our industry. Together, we can build a world where diversity thrives, and innovation knows no bounds.

At Milbrandt Architects, we are proud to stand with women engineers today and every day. Happy Women in Engineering Day!

Moving Day!

We’ve Moved!

 

We’re excited to announce that we’ve relocated to a stunning new studio space just off Kirkland Way, behind the Kirkland Urban and Google buildings. While we haven’t moved far from our previous office, the new space offers a completely different and refreshing environment!

Our new office has undergone a complete transformation with sleek new workspace finishes. We now proudly feature standing desks, dedicated code book stations, as well as private and public meeting spaces. The office is surrounded by windows, providing nearly 360-degree second-story views, allowing natural light to flood the space and create a more open and inviting atmosphere.

The thoughtful design includes live planters that separate desk sections, naturally purifying the air and adding vibrant pops of color to the neutral tones of the office. The enhanced environment not only looks fantastic but also contributes to a more productive and efficient workspace.

The new studio was unveiled to all employees at the beginning of the month, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One employee shared, “I feel like I am more efficient when working here,” perfectly capturing the essence of our goal: to create a positive space that enhances productivity and efficiency.

We would like to give a special thanks to all of those who made our move possible; from Sechrist Designs, Stonewood Design, Coriander Designs, The Wide Format Company, and Mike from The Green Thumb, who all helped craft our ideas into reality for our new studio, PBI Installers, and College H.U.N.K.S. moving company for such a smooth transition. We especially could not have gone without Dynamic Computing Services for taking care of all our IT needs!

Overall, we are thrilled with our new studio space and can’t wait for our clients and associates to experience it firsthand.
