We are inspired by @herzogdemeuron and @pbdwarchitects adaptive reuse of the 1904 Central Power Station, recently featured on @metropolismag.

“The Boiler House was rebuilt—roughly—on its original footprint, for the very sound reason, Schmerbeck explains, that the original foundation slab was still down there. On a site next to the ongoing Superfund mitigation of the preposterously polluted Gowanus Canal, not to mention beneath the water table, ‘the cost to put a new foundation in would have been astronomical.’ This slab proved invaluable as a base, capped with thick layers of concrete to wall off buried toxins. The new Boiler House was built of concrete—stained with red oxide to accord with the Turbine Hall—and fits in seamlessly with the historic structure.”

We designed 760 Aloha with amenities that foster a communal work environment, favoring collaboration and inclusion. A side-core design with an active stair leads to a rooftop deck for coworkers to enjoy throughout the workday. Accommodating modern workplace needs while nodding to the building’s past life as an industrial structure, 760 Aloha blends old and new.

Washington Park was recently featured as the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce’s Project of the Week.

“The 134-year-old Pioneer Square property has been fully gutted and rehabbed. Its three floors have been upgraded with the addition of new restrooms, kitchens, conference rooms, and mezzanines.
A penthouse addition and rooftop patio now top the structure and a new architectural staircase connects the basement with the ground floor. The building was damaged during the 1949 earthquake. The renovation scope also included the restoration of original cornices that were lost in the quake and a full seismic upgrade.”
