Northwest Studio is a practice of architects and urban designers focused on the fundamentals in design that shape quality in cities, buildings, and public space.Led by Aaron Young and David Cutler, the studio is guided by the belief that understanding contemporary programs requires a deep appreciation for our social fabric, and designing for contemporary life requires clear strategic thinking, and beautiful work. With over twenty years in practice, and with collaborative work in cities across the United States, both partners bring tested expertise and inquisitive perspectives to each project.The studio's current work ranges from urban design and strategic planning to the design of buildings and spaces for housing, offices, education, and recreation.
