As Mithun's President and CEO, Bert Gregory, FAIA has guided the Seattle-based firm to national recognition for concept based, environmentally intelligent design. His progressive approach has resulted in award-winning projects throughout North America and Asia. Under Bert’s leadership, Mithun has received four American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE) Top Ten United States Green Projects awards, AIA National Honor Awards for Interior Architecture and Regional and Urban Design, and two American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) National Honor Awards for excellence in planning and analysis.

Bert reaches beyond traditional architecture to merge science and design. His recent work on the award-winning Lloyd Crossing Sustainable Urban Design Plan transforms an underused, inner-city neighborhood in Portland, Oregon into a vibrant and attractive place to live and work. The plan’s on-site and off-site strategies would allow the 35-block ecosystem to mimic the carbon footprint and natural systems of a pristine forest – even as the area’s density increases fivefold. 

Other exemplary projects include the REI Seattle Flagship store (a Seattle landmark); IslandWood, an environmental learning center (the first LEED^® Gold project in Washington state and the fifth in the country); innovations such as The Blue Ring (Seattle City Center Open Space 100 Year Vision); and Kitsap SEED (LEED platinum goal clean technology incubator).

As a national leader, speaker and advocate for sustainable building and urbanism, Bert serves on the USGBC LEED^® Neighborhood Development core committee, the Washington Clean Technology Alliance steering committee and the City of Seattle Mayor’s Urban Sustainability Advisory Panel
