SMR Architects

Sauter

Froehlich

SMR Architects has promoted Alexander Froehlich and Nate Sauter to associates. Froehlich began studying architecture in high school. While at the University of Oregon, he led several community-based design-build projects, which solidified his commitment to socially responsible architecture. He has worked in both architecture and construction. A Washington licensed architect, Froehlich has served as a former Co-Chair on Seattle AIA's Committee on Homelessness, applying his advocacy-driven mindset to his professional associations as he does to his design work.

Sauter is an 18-year veteran of the construction industry. After 10 years in the field, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Architecture from Penn State's Schreyer Honors College. His work at SMR has combined his technical expertise with his commitment to creating enriching spaces for disadvantaged populations. At SMR, he has worked on the implementation of unit standardization with the goal of maximizing efficiency and streamlining the design process. He is a licensed architect in Washington and recently achieved his TiD-B certification, reflecting his commitment to designing spaces that are sensitive to the needs of trauma-affected populations.
