We are an architecture firm based in Seattle, Washington. The name PUBLIC47 is a reference to our interest in site specificity—Seattle is located on the 47th parallel—and a belief that architecture of all scales should have a positive influence on its surroundings. Buildings shape us.
Our goal is to design pragmatic, elegant, and enduring buildings that enrich the lives of inhabitants and the greater community. We view every project as a new challenge. We approach each architectural project with a focus on our clients, their needs, and the site. Every solution is custom tailored to create space that is not only personalized and functional, but also beautiful and sustainable. We respect the realities of construction, while embracing the potential of materials as we meticulously detail our projects with the intent that they last for generations.
The partners at PUBLIC47 – Scot Carr, Jeff Boone, and Kevin Tabari – have enjoyed working with a diverse range of clients on everything from single-family residences to public, institutional, and multi-family developments. Before launching PUBLIC47, they worked together for almost eight years at the same firm, where they emerged as design leaders. Their projects have earned over 30 local, regional, and national design awards.
