Founded in Spokane, Washington in 1991, Steven Meek Architects has stood fast to its primary focus: to have respect for the past, perform in the present and aspire to help the future through meaningful and purposeful architectural design. We call this "Designing Significance, " and are dedicated to making the world- the built environment - meaningful and coherent. Architecture changes a lot less frequently than trends, and means that what we do, what our designs look like, and how they function, have to make sense and last for many generations.
Located in Liberty Lake, Washington, the 20,000 square foot Alliant Securities Building was commissioned jointly by a private owner/developer partnership to include their company offices. The design features a three story entrance lobby, public seating areas, and an outdoor plaza. The building placement on the site was the result of an extensive site analysis that minimized blasting and rock mitigation in order to address the client's primary budgetary concerns. Traditional materials and details were used to reflect the surrounding commercial and residential developments.
