Mark Fowler and Keith Soltner AIA are with the Soltner Group Architects in Seattle, WA. Soltner Group Architects is a design firm that has redone the exterior cladding and windows for over 350 projects throughout the Northwest. They are familiar with legal process and are design professionals in one of the more wet regions of the country.
True today as it was two decades ago, the lack of or improperly designed or installed flashings at transitions should be the primary consideration in designing exterior envelopes. Architects should not dismiss the lessons of the past or tried-and-true details that have proven themselves over decades of service.
