Dull Olson Weekes Architects

DOWA is a design firm that incorporates sustainability into its designs. They focus on design of learning spaces, but also work on workspaces and recreational facilities. As was common among visits in the Northwest, they put a lot of emphasis on the social pillar of sustainability. In their offices, they incorporate sustainability in everything they do, from recycling to energy efficient computers and other electronics and appliances. Basically, anything they would advise their clients to do, they do in their offices. One intriguing project they highlighted was a school in Japan they designed around the outdoor space in which the playground was in the center of the building and occupied space on the roof as well.
