How it started

History

LMN Architects was founded in 1979 as Loschky, Marquardt and Nesholm by George Henry Loschky (b. 1938), Judsen Robert Marquardt, and John Frank Nesholm (b. 1942), who had all worked for the Seattle architecture firm NBBJ. By 2005, Nesholm was the only remaining original partner, and by 2015, none of the original partners remained.

In 2005, LMN Partners included: John Nesholm, Chris Eseman, Walt Niehoff, Mark Reddington, Rob Widmeyer, and George Shaw; by 2008, Wendy Pautz had joined. By 2015, the partners had become: Shaw, Reddington, Widmeyer, Niehoff, Pautz, John Chau, Rafael Viñoly-Menendez, Sam Miller, and Stephen Van Dyck. By 2017, Widmeyer had left. As of March 2021, the partners consisted of Chau, Miller, Niehoff, Reddington, Shaw, Van Dyck, Viñoly-Menendez, Julie Adams, Osama Quotah, and Pamela Trevithick.
