The Seattle Center Armory has a renewed presence as a hub of civic activity in the heart of @SeattleCenter.

Our work has restored the facade of this Seattle Landmark building with a comprehensive set of exterior improvements. We began by removing non-original elements on the facade that were not compatible with the historic architecture, including outdated signage, lighting, and oversized steel canopies. We then designed the restoration of the original concrete and brick masonry facade, including the unique concrete eagle sculptures at the north entrance, and a new paint scheme that accentuates and honors the original Art Moderne features of the building. We also upgraded the public entrances with new steel and glass canopies, entry doors, lighting, branding, wayfinding, and signage.

Usable rooftops can creatively address spatial and climatic needs, especially in urban centers. They play a key role in the integration of a building with the landscape while reducing urban heat and providing recreational space for people to connect with nature.

A sneak peek of our recent work at the Seattle Center Armory. 

Located in the heart of the @SeattleCenter, the Seattle Center Armory was built in 1938 in an Arte Moderne style. With the recent redevelopment of the former Key Arena, now @ClimatePledgeArena, the Armory needed improvements to better fill its role as the primary place for patrons to get food, beverages, and guest services while attending events at Seattle Center. Our work has restored the facade of this Seattle Landmark building with a comprehensive set of exterior improvements.

Stay tuned for more project information and photos.
