Mid-Rise/Mixed-Use Design Studio

1 Radius SLU Roof Deck 2 We know urban mid-rise.

For over 30 years Weber Thompson has been designing highly successful mid-rise multifamily projects within the city’s urban fabric. We understand the market forces, city requirements and complicated technical necessities this type of building demands. This depth of experience allows us to focus on the design and craft a high quality building without busting the budget or schedule.

Most of the mid-rise multifamily projects we design have a context – they exist within a community and among buildings that establish design constraints and opportunities. What we design are very much neighborhood buildings.

Design in context, sensitive to the scale and character of surrounding buildings, will be essential as your project evolves from planning to architectural design.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

At Sunset Electric, residents are seldom enclosed. An airy lobby leads to an innovative courtyard, open to the skies with lush landscaping visible at every level. In the residences, large windows – in some units on both the exterior of the building and facing the courtyard – forge a connection with the elements. Above, a rooftop deck with wide vistas of downtown Seattle, Mt. Rainier and Capitol Hill allows residents to dine and play alfresco.

With such a connection to the outside, the landscape needed to pay careful attention to creating elegant, welcoming spaces and supporting the project’s ambitious sustainability goals.
