What MMEC Architecture & Interiors does

MMEC Architecture & Interiors is a privately held architecture, interior design, and construction management firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Spokane, Washington, with a second office in Kennewick. The firm serves public and private clients across the Inland Northwest region of the United States—primarily Washington State with some projects extending into Idaho and Oregon—and specializes in K-12 and higher education facilities, civic and government buildings, and select private commercial projects (healthcare, technology, hospitality, financial services). It is led by four principals (Walt Huffman, Jenny Cox, Boyd Lusarreta, and Heidi Pierce) who are described as maintaining high personal involvement in client engagements.

The company's service offering spans the full project lifecycle, from master planning and concept development through space planning, furnishings selection, design, and construction documentation. Its technology stack is built around industry-standard BIM and visualization tools, including Revit/CAD, Enscape, Navisworks, hand sketching, models and mock-ups, finish color boards, and Virtual Reality Tours used to communicate design intent to clients. The firm also advocates for sustainable design practices, meeting high-performance criteria such as the Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol on educational projects.

MMEC generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for architecture, interior design, master planning, and construction management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-specific. The go-to-market motion is principal-led and relationship-driven, primarily targeting school districts and county governments in Washington State, with episodic private commercial work. Recurring collaboration with national firm DLR Group on flagship K-12 projects (Kennewick High School, Sageview High School) extends MMEC's effective bidding capacity on larger public-sector commissions. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
