Heier Design Group

Principal: Richard Heier
Size of firm: 1
Year founded: 1987
Specialties: Schools, housing, long term care and assisted-living facilities, mixed-use urban housing, downtown streetscapes and roof terraces, irrigation auditing

The Heier Design Group has been doing a lot more office and retail projects this year. The firm has worked primarily as a subconsultant to architects such as Callison and Driscoll on multi-family and mixed-use projects, but also designs six to 12 single family residential projects a year.

Principal Richard Heier likes running a one-person firm. "There’s more control," he said, "and I’ve never missed a deadline in 15 years of doing business. I enjoy actually doing the work. I prefer landscape design problems to business problems."

Projects this year include the Camlin block, which includes retail, residential and hotel development. Heier also worked on the Westlake Center Condominiums and a soccer field for Seattle Pacific University. He has also provided landscape design for elementary schools in the North Shore and Kent School Districts.
