Our firm is dedicated to the concept of delivering development services, not just pretty pictures. In today's increasingly complex matrix of financial, regulatory, and technical constraints, clients need problem solvers. We recognize that the best looking design means nothing if it cannot be approved through the bureacratic process and built within a financially feasible budget. The viability of f
uture development projects will depend more than ever on the ability to form an effective team of experts to address the many distinct, yet interdependent, issues. Rekindling the Architect's traditional leadership role as "master builder", we have brought together a wide array of development expertise to complement and support the design process. We have developed and continue to develop a network of critical problem solvers in associated areas such as marketing, environmental engineering, and construction. It is absolutely imperative that the critical development issues are discovered early on, and that they become part of the overall design program. Nothing is more devastating to a development project than last minute financial land mines. The firm's principal Kent Smutny is a licensed architects registered in the state of Washington. The office is staffed with professionals possessing analytical tools from a variety of development-related fields, ranging from regulatory management, to value engineering, to feasibility analysis, as well as the traditional architectural and planning skills. We at Veer are a broad and flexible team of problem solvers that can assure you of more than just a handful of pretty pictures. Veer Architecture Pllc is affiliated with AIA Seattle. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Seattle provides the architectural community with resources and relationships to make a difference through design.
