The company provides integrated design services including architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, urban design and planning. In 2023 Mithun won the 2023 American Institute of Architects Architecture Firm Award.

The firm was founded in 1949 by Omer Mithun, a professor of architecture at the University of Washington [1] as a private practice in Bellevue, Washington. Mithun incorporated in 1953, and became Mithun Partners in 1988. The practice moved to Seattle in 1990 and in 2000 renovated their present-day headquarters on Pier 56. In 2008, Mithun opened its San Francisco office and in 2018 opened a third office in Los Angeles. Mithun is led by a board of directors, presided over by Dave Goldberg - FAIA, and partners Anne Torney - FAIA and Brendan Connolly - FAIA. [2]
