A Heartfelt Thank You: A New Chapter Begins
After 37 years of dedicated work and passion for design, I am announcing my retirement from mYamaguchi Architecture. What began in a modest one-room office in Seattle’s 1411 Fourth Avenue Building, with only with a drafting board and an early Macintosh computer, grew into an extraordinary and fulfilling career. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities and experiences that have shaped this journey.
To my clients, colleagues, and associates: Thank you for your unwavering support, trust, and collaboration over the years. Together, we've brought visions to life and created spaces that I hope have enriched your lives and communities. Your partnership has meant so much to me, and I will always cherish the relationships we've built.
As I step away from the day-to-day of architectural practice, I look forward to staying in touch and hearing about the continued success and growth of all those I've had the pleasure of working with. Your kind well-wishes and encouragement as I embark on this next phase of life are truly appreciated.
I’m proud of the projects we’ve worked on together and excited for what lies ahead. Thank you once again for everything, and I look forward to seeing where the future takes us all.
With sincere gratitude,
Marvin Yamaguchi
