The Clinic Building landscape at Excelsior is an exciting opportunity for Bernardo Wills to assist with intimate clinical counseling spaces outdoors, intended to supplement their indoor therapy facility. Historically, the site has strong ties to Native American culture and with it, a spiritual past and connections to nature. This provided cues for the therapeutic landscape design that was created.

🎉 We did it! 🎉 Today, we helped celebrate the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Post Street Bridge!

Working alongside KPFF Engineers, our team at Bernardo Wills developed multiple concepts for the bridge deck, all inspired by the incredible feedback from our community during the public engagement process.

Our landscape architecture design highlights breathtaking views of the falls and prioritizes pedestrian space and public safety. The transparent guard railing ensures that those gorgeous views remain unobstructed, while providing ample protection.

To create a sense of continuity, we incorporated the City of Spokane’s standard historic pedestrian lights, seamlessly connecting downtown to the north side of the river. Plus, we added site furniture, like benches and bright colored planter boxes, to add interest and a human touch. These vibrant orange planters are easily movable, making the bridge deck perfect for large public events. 🌷🪑🌟

The thoughtful landscaping and pedestrian safety features extend to both ends of the bridge, seamlessly blending into the existing downtown streetscapes. We can't wait for you to experience the transformed Post Street Bridge!

The Bernardo Wills Architects History

The Early Days of Bernardo Wills Architects

With Gary Bernardo and Robert Wills as the sole employees, Bernardo Wills Architects was founded in June of 1991 in an eight-by-ten foot space in the Tomlinson Black Building in Downtown Spokane.

“I recall thinking the decision was made and failure really wasn’t an option,” says Gary Bernardo “It had to work, and we had to do whatever it took to make it work.”

“We had a couple of doors set over sawhorses with a couple of Maylines,” reflects Roberts Wills about the firm’s first few months. “Clients Gary and I had worked with for years at our previous firm came knocking on our door, and we were happy to have them.”
