History:

Weddermann Architecture, PLLC, was originally Weddermann Design, in Seattle in the late 1990’s. Jennifer Weddermann started the company to address the need for custom projects for both metalwork and architecture that were too unique for larger firms to do. With a shop in Ballard and an office in Fremont, the firm ran several years in that form before Jennifer decided to take her career in another direction. For the next several years, she went to work for other architects, balancing family and continuing to produce metal artwork on the side.

In 2010, Jennifer officially registered Weddermann Architecture, PLLC, with the State of Washington and has grown the company steadily through the tail end of the recession, into the construction industry boom that we see today.
