ZBA transitions to new owners
Architectural firm aims to stay in design forefront with sustainable housing
Randy Vanhoff and Mark King, the newest partners at ZBA Architecture PS, of Spokane, say they don't plan to stray from the firm's core business as they lead the firm through a rebranding effort.
ZBA, which was founded 29 years ago as Zeck Butler Architects PS, will continue to specialize in multifamily housing, serving low-income, senior, developmentally disabled, and farmworker tenants.
"Housing has always been part of the business," King says. "We enjoy being part of a larger overall mission to provide housing for people less fortunate—and decent housing at that."
Vanhoff adds, "We're returning to some of the projects (the firm) designed 25 years ago, and starting to do rehabs."
ZBA also designs shop facilities for utilities, fire districts, counties, and smaller municipalities, he says. One such project was a component of the $144 million Spokane Water Reclamation Facility, at 1004 N.
