THE NAME
Originally founded in Los Angeles in 1935, the firm opened an office in Seattle, Washington in 1973. In 1980, Alan Sclater took over direction of the Seattle office, and in 1997, it assumed the name Sclater Partners Architects.

THE PRINCIPALS
Business colleagues since the late 1970’s, Sclater and fellow principals Jay Reeves and Craig Kasman share a common history and vision for the future. They have recently been joined by principal Michael Chaplin and the combination of their management experience, design vision, and development background has inspired a dynamic partnership based on common goals and complementary ideas.

THE PROJECTS
Since its inception, the firm, its predecessors and its principals have designed a variety of projects across the country, including much of the nation’s early retail development. Today, an expanded list of project types includes mixed-use, office, hotel, housing, retail, education and tenant improvements.
