The firm’s sustainable design practice and sensitivity to conceptual planning are a natural extension of its modern organic roots, a legacy passed on by founder Jim Zervas gained during his apprenticeship to Frank Lloyd Wright. As Zervas evolves in the ever-changing building industry of the 21st century, we continue to stay up to date with strategies for providing our clients with buildings that will be affordable, efficient and beautiful for many decades to come, as well as assets to the communities that they serve.

The folks at RAM Construction are making good progress on the Zervas-designed Community Transitions building!
This is a new transitional educational building developed in partnership with Bellingham Public Schools and Whatcom Community College. The project uses mass timber as the main structural system and ties itself to the WCC campus with brick cladding. Other features include an accessible pedestrian pathway linking the main campus to Cedar Hall and the nearby WTA bus station.

The Zervas team took a couple hours on Friday to hang out with our new friends -- both human and animal -- at Animals as Natural Therapy (ANT).
Such fun getting to love on the horses, chickens, goats, Lily the pig, and Smokey the rabbit, and feeling their love in return.
Check out ANT and the work they've done in the community for people of all ages, from youngsters to the elderly, since 1999. They're a real asset, and just a joy to be around -- again, both the humans and the animals.
