Spotlight Project…
Seattle Great Wheel | Seattle, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) helped design The Seattle Great Wheel, an iconic structure extending 40 feet over Puget Sound with incredible views of the city. The wheel features 42 climate-controlled gondolas and can accommodate 252 passengers at full capacity. To support The Seattle Great Wheel and its passengers, Pier 57 underwent significant structural reinforcement. A custom elevated mat foundation was designed with over 50 galvanized steel piles, each 3 feet in diameter and 100 feet in length, driven below the water’s mud line and filled with reinforced concrete. This massive mat foundation was then isolated from the rest of the pier with a 12-inch seismic gap. JMA’s contributions to this project also include the design of the ticket booths, the covered loading platform, and the escalators that take riders up to the food court after a spin on the wheel.
bakery nouveau | Seattle & Burien, WA
JMA designed 2 tenant improvements for this award-winning Seattle bakery. Our work included new façades and complete interiors to communicate the bakery's old-world charm and high-quality brand.
Lams asian Seafood Market | tukwila, wa
Lam’s Seafood Market developed its second location by upgrading an existing concrete retail building. The existing space had a front entrance within the strip mall and a back of house entry for trucks. JMA’s design transformed the back entry into the primary entry with the addition of a tower, exterior canopies, new storefronts, roll-up garage doors, covered outdoor patio seating, and enhanced landscaping.
Ballard Loft Pub | seattle, wa
JMA transformed a former marine machine shop into Ballard Loft Pub, an eco-friendly bar and restaurant. The original shop shared a building with an art gallery, but the property now includes a new structural system dividing the spaces into 2 separate buildings. JMA worked closely with involved community stakeholders to create a lively and welcoming indoor/outdoor space. Our team quickly addressed a tight permit window and made the most of a modest budget.
salish Sea Tours | seattle, wa
Salish Sea Tours is a waterfront attraction offering tours of Elliot Bay focused on Native American history. The two catamarans are decorated with Native American art. The boats’ black and red prints are modeled after a traditional canoe design, and each vessel includes masks, paddles, and wood pieces carved by Native American artists. JMA provided 3D models of each boat so the owner, artists, manufacturer, and naval architect could thoughtfully make critical decisions together.
Ryder | Marysville, wa
JMA designed a 16,247 SF tenant improvement for a truck rental facility. The remodel demolished and reconfigured portions of the first and second floors and repainted the undemolished portions. The building added two bay doors. The back lot was re-paved.
Tukwila shopping center | tukwila, wa
Tukwila’s HomeGoods store was upgraded by JMA with fresh interior walls and finishes, a new storefront, a loading dock, and roof upgrades.

Park lane public house | kirkland, wa
JMA completed the remodel of this vacant restaurant in Kirkland’s waterfront neighborhood. Nanawall systems were employed to open the dining area to outside seating and connect to the pedestrian character of the area. Thin set brick, blackened steel fittings, and bespoke paneling give the space a raw and refined feeling.
Pier 57 Restaurants | seattle, wa
JMA provided design services for multiple restaurants as part of a major remodel of the pier's retail and entertainment facilities.

JMA also provided interior design services for the updated interior and exterior dining spaces.
pro golf | bellevue, wa
JMA provided interior design services for a new store location. A larger, more functional space was needed to attract a higher-end clientele and invite customers to stay for a longer period of time. JMA helped the client meet these goals using an open and friendly floor plan. The store includes practice hitting areas with an integrated fitting lab staffed by former PGA professional Rick Fehr. Customers are also able to see all the merchandise upon entering the store.
