Testimonials

PRESS Architecture has been a great design-build partner to Bouten Construction. Drew and his team approach our projects with a collaborative mindset that helps ensure a smooth process for all. I look forward to working with PRESS on future projects and would highly recommend them.

Tanner Peterson

Drew worked with us to create four possible plans for a potential yield study of our property. He carried our desires and represented us well, all the way through to the pre-development meeting with the City. Very knowledgeable, highly motivated  to do excellent work, and connected with key people in the city, all of which makes him most recommendable as an architect in Spokane.

I wasn't sure we'd need an architect for our basement finish, but once we met with the PRESS team I knew it was the right choice! They responded quickly to everything and made suggestions I never knew were possible. Totally worth it to have their professional perspective on our project.

Frequently Asked Questions

We design a wide range of commercial building types including office, retail, fast casual restaurants, hospitality venues, and mixed use developments. In addition to new ground up projects, we also support owners with their tenant improvement and remodel needs.

State and national energy codes provide a robust foundation for energy efficiency. We integrate smart, sustainable, and cost effective approaches to enhance building energy performance that complement base codes such as building solar orientation, natural ventilation, and improved glazing system performance.

Maintaining a project’s budget is especially critical for commercial projects where financing and lease rates depend on a known project deliverable cost. By prioritizing clear communication with clients, developing detailed project drawings, and working closely with contractors during the design phase, we are able to better control costs. PRESS prides itself in designing budget informed spaces that are also high quality.

We approach each project with the same level of care and inquisitiveness regardless of building type or scale; no assumptions are made as we work to uncover project requirements. Our diverse background in commercial buildings provides a deep foundation of knowledge from which we start every design - allowing PRESS to quickly identify critical path decisions.

Our team is experienced in navigating municipal codes and zoning laws to ensure every project complies with all necessary regulations. We are adept at quickly ascertaining the key land use regulations informing a project’s development potential such as parking ratios, FAR, height, and density.
