Brett Santhuff AIA

Senior Associate, Senior Project Architect

As a Senior Project Architect, I work with design teams, consultants, product manufacturers, and production staff to bring concepts to reality and determine the best way to document each project. I coordinate the work of engineers and consultants, integrating their systems into cohesive solutions, and contribute to problem solving throughout every phase of a project. Moving into construction, I focus on ensuring that the completed project meets the goals established at the onset of design and clearly expresses the design intent and core ideas that guide the work.

I value McGranahanPBK’s collaborative culture, where a shared interest in design and community, combined with genuine care for one another, makes the office an engaging and rewarding place to work. Our long-standing commitment to Tacoma and the city’s built environment provides an added sense of purpose and connection.

I also serve on the City of Tacoma Planning Commission and the Pierce County Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission, which has deepened my awareness of the broader impact of our work on neighborhoods, cities, and generations of people. Inspired by their mantra “This Place Matters,” I aim to create projects that people will care about and that will have lasting significance in their communities.
