Enhancing Urban Living

Seattle, WA

A Contemporary Emphasis

Gallery is a concrete and steel condominium tower in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood – a cultural hub near Seattle Center and the Olympic Sculpture Park. Contemporary artwork is prominently displayed in the generous the two-story lobby, while the roof deck and sky lounge feature panoramic views of Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier and the Space Needle.

Open Space and Public Amenities

Using an innovative urban design approach, this project enhances the public realm by providing more open space and increased public amenities integrated into the streetscape design. This design strategy produced a smaller building footprint while transferring developable space to higher floors.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Gallery was designed with low-emitting interior finishes and operable windows in order to enhance its indoor environmental quality. Upper floor units are two-level “skylofts” with ceilings up to 18 feet tall and floor-to-ceiling windows.
