About – Paul Michael Davis Architects PLLC

ABOUT US

Based in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, architect Paul Michael Davis and his team provide design services with a focus on innovative practicality.

PMDA is staking out a middle ground between northwest regionalism and global formalism. Our work is rooted in the practicalities of building in relation to location. We love to think of these realities as opportunities to be innovative.

“I’m always looking for a source of rigor in the design process, something that’s an added challenge: you’ve got the limitations from the site, limitations from the client, limitations from the budget, but really good architecture adds some other limitation, basically in the form of a concept or a goal. It’s almost like a puzzle.”

OUR EXPERIENCE

Since PMDA was founded in 2010, we have grown to a passionate and skilled team of architects and designers. Our firm’s work has won awards, and been profiled in The Seattle Times, Archinect, Dwell, Dezeen, and numerous other publications. We are excellent at listening at PMDA—nearly every client tells us this. We are great at taking a client’s needs and hopes and translating them into something innovative that they never would have imagined. We want to push design forward.
