Carved
Project details
Carved is my senior year capstone project. This multistoried corporate building is located in South Lake Union on the corner of 9th Ave N & Roy St. in Seattle, Washington and was commissioned by Vulcan Real Estate. Alongside my team of architecture students, we also worked closely with a team of construction management students. I was the Project Architect and as such was responsible for floor layout, material, and composing deliverables.
The mission of the capstone was to create a building that aligned with the specific goals requested by Vulcan Real Estate. The goals and solutions are illustrated below.
The primary design motif of the structure was that of carved wood, generating a unique and beautiful building with a cohesive feel to the adjacent Northwest Seaport.
