Bruce Hinckley
Founder, Alchemie

Landscape Architect Bruce D. Hinckley founded Alchemie in 1981. Whether working on a six-thousand acre master plan or a tiny rooftop courtyard, the extension of architecture into landscape is a guiding principle. Bruce travels regularly in wilderness areas for inspiration and runs design studios in Ketchum, Idaho, Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia. Work by Alchemie has appeared in several books, including Beach Houses, Waterfront Retreats, and The New American House, Volumes III and IV, and in magazines such as “Northwest Home and Garden,” “Coastal Living,” “Metropolitan Home” and “Newsweek.”

Having developed a quiet reputation as a designer’s designer, Bruce has enjoyed the privilege of working with many of the finest architects in the region on their own homes, including AIA National Award winner Tom Kundig, AIA Citation Award winner Eric Cobb and AIA Honor Award winner George Suyama. Bruce received the first Design Achievement Award presented to a landscape architect by “Seattle Homes & Lifestyles” magazine and the Seattle Design Center In October 2003, and was listed as one of the Seattle 100: the People, Places and Things that define Seattle Design, in the February 2006 issue of that magazine.
