We kicked off the spring Creative Series with David Bullaro’s beloved “Fix Your Bike” workshop and happy hour. With bikes newly tuned, we’re pedaling into Bike Everywhere Month with new skills and ready to log some miles! 📷: Zhenru Zhang

We’re excited to lead a tour of @thenorthwestschool for attendees of the 2018 A4LE PNW Regional Conference on May 4. The 401 East Pike building is a catalyst project for the independent school, enriching its urban campus and consolidating programs that were previously distributed across the neighborhood. The variegated façade echoes the signature yellow clapboards of the adjacent historic Summit School building. An overlaid fenestration pattern, inspired by wavelengths, celebrates the school’s art and science focused curriculum. Sustainability is integrated throughout, from native plantings to the interactive energy and water performance dashboard, and rooftop solar hot water array. 📷: Benjamin Benschneider

We’re closing off National Library Week with another favorite: the @SeattleU Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons. Built in 1964, Lemieux Library was an uninviting repository for books that lacked modern technology and functionality. The design reinvents this campus landmark by pairing a sensitive renewal of the historic structure with the addition of a light-filled learning commons, restoring the library’s central role on campus. Tour the LEED Gold certified facility as part of the A4LE PNW Conference on May 4: https://bit.ly/2GVayi5. Project completed in association with Pfeiffer Partners. 📷: Andrew Buchanan

In honor of National Library Week we’re sharing Newcastle Library, an iconic landmark at the center of Newcastle’s evolving civic village. Sited in the heart of the retail core, the library’s transparent façade and glowing Gathering Porch welcome the community inside. Eye-catching orange acrylic seating platforms allow visitors to read outside on nice days or linger over a conversation. Inside, flexible reading and meeting spaces are a comfortable destination to gain knowledge, join a community discussion, attend a reading or sink into a good book. 📷: Benjamin Benschneider

We recently joined with hundreds of Blakely Elementary School students in yellow construction hats to help celebrate the groundbreaking of construction on their new school. We’re all excited to see the replacement facility take shape over the coming year! It’s been wonderful collaborating with @bainbridgeislandschooldistrict, the local community, @forma_construction, and our incredible design team including @arupamericas, PCS Structural Solutions, LPD Engineering, JLR Design Group and Robinson Company.
