IA’s Seattle Office Brings Home Two Design Awards

IA Interior Architects and Abbott Construction partnered with Big Fish through an intensely collaborative process that touched every aspect of the project. Creating a highly functional and expressive headquarters reflective of its Seattle roots, the result personifies the Big Fish brand, complements the Big Fish staff, and supports culture, creativity, work style, and productivity.


Parametric engaged IA to create a space that accommodates growth, aligns with their organizational values, and encourages synergies among various business groups. The interconnecting stairs serves as a hub for coalescing conference rooms and shared amenities. This relocation gave Parametric an opportunity to ultimately create a professional atmosphere that also reads as fun, open, connected, and colorful.
