FIRM DESCRIPTION
The Miller | Hull Partnership, LLP
The Miller|Hull Partnership is widely recognized as a design
leader in the Pacific Northwest and the firm's national and
international reputation continues to grow, having received
over 160 design awards in 28 years, including the 2003 Firm
Award from the National AIA. Two books on the firm have been
published: "10 Houses - The Miller|Hull Partnership"
by Rockport Press: 1999; and a firm monograph "The Miller|Hull
Partnership - Architects of the Pacific Northwest", by
Princeton Architectural Press: 2001.
Miller|Hull has its roots in the powerful landscape of the
Pacific Northwest. Founded by Washington State University
grads David Miller and Robert Hull, and joined by partners
Norman Strong and Craig Curtis, the firm consists of 50 staff
and has offices in a refurbished warehouse building on the
historic Seattle Waterfront. Miller|Hull's design philosophy
centers around two essential architectural ideas. One is to
use a building's structure and program to create a significant
place within a site, and the other is to be sensitive to climate
and to respond to environmental demands with the form of the
building. These ideas have allowed Miller|Hull's projects
to convey a harmonious balance between form and nature and
promote the principles of sustainable design. |
