Rice Fergus Miller congratulates firm founder Steve Rice, who will retire at the end of this year after 34 years as Principal and owner of the Bremerton-based architecture, interiors, and planning firm. Rice's career-long leadership of RFM's Community Architecture Studio paved the way for the firm's other specialties that today include the design of senior living, hospitality, tribal, healthcare, and fire and emergency services facilities. Rice started the firm in 1987. Notably, Rice's vision sparked the 7-year effort to create Quincy Square, a complete remake of a central block of Bremerton's downtown core into a resurgent mixed-use neighborhood and transformable festival street. Quincy Square is designed to serve as downtown Bremerton's everyday cultural front yard. The square honors music icon Quincy Jones, who grew up in Bremerton, and celebrates decades of contributions made by the city's African American community. Rice's projects also include a women's shelter; elementary schools; community centers; libraries; healthcare clinics; and RFM's own office, a LEED Platinum renovation of a downtown Bremerton building that doubles as a community event space.
