In a nod to the Seattle music scene, graphics inspired by tattoo art adorn tables for casual gatherings and teamwork along the central communicating stair. Variation in the experience from floor to floor, encourages employees to mix across departments as they seek out favorite places to work, socialize and enjoy the view. 📷: @k7scott

We’re always looking for ways to tailor spaces and details to enrich the human experience. For workplace design, our teams are particularly interested in how environments can play a role in supporting mental health, happiness, collaboration and effectiveness. Located along the central circulation spine, this custom piece by @ghdpartners entices passers-by to discover hidden secrets about the city and engage with colleagues. Bold color, interactive elements and local perspectives promote curiosity and bring a sense of joy to the work day. 📷: @k7scott

The unique kit-of-parts is designed to improve interior learning environments, reduce carbon emissions and shorten construction schedules. Based on a structural grid and sectional framework that balances efficient timber fiber volumes with the need for agile spaces, the result is an easily adaptable, cost-competitive, systems approach for schools.

How can we leverage mass timber construction to amplify learning and be cost competitive? The Mithun R+D project “Building Better Schools” analyzes the performance of wood-rich environments and presents an innovative CLT system that maximizes benefit to learners and schools. No two school districts have the same learning needs. To maximize adaptability, the mass timber framework explores ways in which the system can accommodate a range of classroom quantities, teaching pedagogies and learning area needs. Diverse plan studies demonstrate opportunities for shared learning, classroom sizing, access to the exterior and circulation through the classroom block.

Taller buildings at the west side of the site protect the courtyards from wind exposure and create a more private residential experience. Treehouses in the woods, they subtly reflect the complex geometries of the forest and paths below—opening at areas of gathering and amenity like this spa area. Here and throughout the mixed-use community, the design offers uplifting habitats for relaxation, work and all the hybrid moments in between. Image by @plo.mp for Mithun

Great spaces are those places where celebrations are held, discoveries are made, friends run into each other and cultures mix. Public art installations, shops and a brew pub reinforce indoor-outdoor connectivity, drawing residents and pedestrians to explore, linger and activate the central courtyard.
