Mixed-Use
Located toward the northern end of the West Seattle Junction – a neighborhood that is continuing to see new growth within its mixed-use commercial core, this new building in West Seattle has 88 apartment units and three commercial spaces.
The dynamic form of the building provides visual interest and movement along all facades. The overall mass has been broken down into smaller pieces of the puzzle and further refined, twisting and turning to gesture towards a variety of uses and views.
The ground floor commercial spaces have been broken up to provide a streetscape that takes guidance from the pedestrian experience on California Ave. The building is provided with a strong base to reflect the datum found in the commercial core and inset storefronts and entries are use to enhance and widen the pedestrian zone. The north edge of the building opens up at the ground floor, creating a visual connection from the street to the alley.
