We’re thrilled to support the University of Washington's efforts to restore the landmark ASUW Shell House, a 105-year-old architectural gem and home base of the UW rowing team that rose against all odds to win the 1936 Olympic gold medal. A new film, “The Boys in the Boat,” directed by George Clooney, brings the incredible story to the big screen on December 25th.

Learn more about this inspiring legacy and efforts underway to transform the historic structure into a community gathering space with interactive displays and the legendary Pocock boatbuilding workshop. Mithun has joined forces with our friends at Sellen Construction on this progressive design-build project.

How George Clooney’s ‘Boys in the Boat’ puts UW in spotlight “The Boys in the Boat,” based on the bestselling book, is an ode to the role of college as an engine of opportunity, say the author Daniel James Brown and the UW president.

A new exhibition of paintings by Leo Shallat is now on display at Threshold Gallery. Please join us for a reception with the artist this evening, July 6th, from 5–7pm. Learn more: https://mithun.com/2023/07/03/new-show-opens-at-threshold-gallery-the-unknown/

“For us, design is a holistic, interdisciplinary pursuit that places users and community, not objects and agendas, at the center of decision-making. This integrated approach honors the identity of places—culture, history and ecology—with a reverence for the characteristics that make each unique.”
