Aaron Luoma

Lecturer + Affiliate Faculty

Aaron is a Principal at HBB Landscape Architecture and a registered Landscape Architect in the State of Washington where he has been practicing landscape architecture, urban design, and planning throughout the Puget Sound region. His consideration for the end user, careful site analysis and attention to detail is represented in all of his projects.

Aaron’s expertise includes context-sensitive design, presentation graphics, public speaking, historic preservation, and construction documents. He has worked on a variety of recreation, waterfront, education and transportation projects in the region and is praised for his strong organization skills, ability to present information clearly, and clear integration of the character of the community into physical design. As current chair of Seattle’s Downtown Design Review Board, and former chair of the Landmarks Preservation Board, he also understands the principles of urban design and historic preservation in a variety of environments and contexts. During this period he has helped guide decisions on the preservation and design of many notable buildings and landscapes in the city.

Aaron received his Bachelor of Landscape of Architecture from the University of Idaho in 2006. In 2008 he received his Master in Landscape Architecture from the University of Washington with a certificate in Historic Preservation.
