Being a multidisciplinary firm, we engage in many fascinating conversations on various levels. Great questions often come up that cause us to pause and think, “Hey, we’ve got some thoughts on this!”

We're excited to announce a new column on the SZ Blog: "Ask SZ." We’ll be addressing questions from all across the industries we work in -- architecture, build, design, art, and marketing -- along with any more that may arise. And we welcome you to throw your questions into the ring!

For this post, we're fielding some questions from a Mercer Island resident who asked us, "What do you think of the new Mercer Island residential code changes? Is this going to affect my ability to do remodels or renovations on my home? What do architects and general contractors think of these changes?"
