THERMAL ENVELOPE

WINDOWS + SHADES

THE EXTENT OF THE THERMAL ENVELOPE


SURROUNDS THE RESIDENTIAL USE
OF THE MIXED-USE STRUCTURE. TO
SIMPLIFY THE FORM AND FACILITATE
CONSTRUCTABILITY OF A TIGHT
THERMAL ENVELOPE, MAJOR FUNCTIONAL
ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN EXTERNALIZED.
THE MAIN VERTICAL CIRCULATION CORE
IS EXPOSED TO THE EXTERIOR ALONG
THE WEST FACADE. EXHAUST DUCTS
AND RAIN LEADERS ARE EXPRESSED AS
INDUSTRIAL ATTACHEMENTS TO THE
THERMAL CONTAINER.

AUTOMATED EXTERIOR SHADES LOCATED


ON THE WEST AND SOUTH FACADES
CONTROL HEAT GAIN BY LOWERING
SHADES IN THE SUMMER AND RASING
THE SHADES IN THE WINTER. FIXED UNIT
DECKS ALONG THE SOUTH FACADE SERVE
AS SHADING DEVICES AND EXTERIOR
ACCESS FOR THE SOUTH FACING UNITS.

THE DENSITY OF OCCUPANTS AND


HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENT IN A
MULTIFAMILY BUILDING CAUSES THE
COOLING LOAD TO BE THE DRIVING
FACTOR, EVEN IN A HEATING DOMINATED
CLIMATE. EVERY APPLIANCE, LIGHTING
FIXTURE AND PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS
BEING SELECTED TO REDUCE INTERIOR
HEAT GAINS AS WELL AS REDUCING
ELECTRIC AND WATER CONSUMPTION.
SHARED EXTERIOR SPACES AND
CIRCULATION FURTHER REDUCE
CONDITIONING REQUIREMENTS, THUS
THE INTERNAL LOADS.

THE CENTRALIZED HEAT RECOVERY


VENTILATOR SYSTEM SERVES AS
THE LUNGS FOR THE BUILDING,
DISTRIBUTING FILTERED FRESH AIR
EVENLY AND CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH
A CENTRAL SHAFT. THIS UNIT WILL
TEMPER THE OUTDOOR AIR COMING
IN, REDUCING THE NEED FOR FURTHER
HEATING AND COOLING.

INTEGRATE DESIGN OF STAIRS, SCREENED OUTDOOR COURTYARD


AND SOUTH/WEST FACING FACADES.
SUPPORT WAS MADE FOR CONNECTION OF THE BASE TO THE TOP,
BUT THE BOARD FELT THE VERTICAL ARTICULATION OF THE FACADE
WAS IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THE STAIR, AND THE STAIR
PROMINENCE FELT DIMINISHED.

THE BOARD CONTINUED ITS SUPPORT FOR EXPRESSING THE


EXTERIOR STAIR AS PART OF THE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGY
OF PASSIVE HOUSE AS WELL AS REFLECTING THE LANGUAGE OF THE
BULLIT CENTER ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM THE SITE.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD PREFERRED THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF
THE COVERING OF STAIR AS PRESENTED AT EDG AS OPPOSED TO
A VERTICAL WRAPPING ELEMENT, WHICH CREATED A DISCONNECT
BETWEEN THE FEATURE STAIR AND TREATEMENT OF THE VARIOUS
FEATURES OF THE PROJECT.

*FOR DESIGN GUIDELINE RESPONSES SEE PAGE 38-47

THERE WAS FULL SUPPORT FROM THE BOARD REGARDING THE


LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONCEPT OF CREATING A LUSH FOREST
FLOOR AT THE BASE, SERVING AS AN OASIS TO 13TH AVENUE, AND
CONVERSELY TREATING THE ROOF TOP TERRACE AS A MEADOW.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAD CONCERNS THAT THE MURAL ON THE


NORTH FACADE WOULD BE COVERED UP IN THE FUTURE.

THERE WAS GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE GROUND LEVEL DESIGN OF


THE RETAIL AND COMMERICAL SPACES, SPECIFICALLY SURROUNDING
THE FLEXIBILITY OF RETAIL SPACES ALONG PIKE STREET AND
COMMERCIAL OFFICE USE FLEXIBILITY ALONG 13TH.

THE PROJECT TEAM EXPLORED REDUCING THE HIGH- CONTRAST OF THE FACADE BY
LOOKING AT VARIOIUS GREY TONES FOR THE BUILDING FIELD COLOR WHICH LED TO THE
EVOLUTION OF A WHITE FACADE. THE WHITE BUILDING SUPPORTS THE WHITE SCREEN
FEATURE ELEMENT AT GRADE AND ALLOWS THE WOOD TREATMENT OF THE STAIR
WELL TO BE SUPPORTED RATHER THAN COMPETE.
THE UNIQUE WOOD STOREFRONT AND TREATMENT OF THE WOOD STAIR
STRUCTURE AND FEATURE WALL IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY PULLING THE
WOOD FINISH UP THE FACADE ONTO THE RESIDENTIAL WINDOWS.

IN EXPLORING THE TREATMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL FACADES TO CREATE A COMPOSITION THAT
SUPPORTS THE COURTYARD AND STAIR, THE PROJECT TEAM OPTED TO UPGRADE THE WINDOWS
TO A WOOD FOIL FINISH THAT WOULD RELATE TO THE WOOD STOREFRONT AT THE RETAIL BASE.
THE EUROPEAN TRIPLED - GLAZED WINDOW MEETS THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE REQUIRED TO
MEET PASSIVE HOUSE STANDARDS AND HAS THE OPTION FOR UPGRADED FINISHES INCLUDING
MULTIPLE WOOD FOILS.
FURTHERMORE, THE FRAMING OF THE STOREFRONT WINDOWS ALONG THE GROUND LEVEL
IS REPEATED ABOVE. AN INDIVIDUAL FRAME AROUND EACH WINDOW HOSTS THE AUTOMATED
EXTERIOR MECHA NICAL ROLLER SHADES, MOUNTED ABOVE THE WINDOW. THIS WINDOW
TREATMENT CREATES A MORE APPROPRIATE SCALE OF TEXTURE OVER THE FACADE GIVING
PROMINENCE TO THE WINDOWS WITHOUT DIMINISHING THE STAIR OR THE FEATURED COURTYARD
SPACE.

THE UPGRADE OF WOOD-FINISH ON THE RESIDENTIAL WINDOWS AND PIXELATED PATTERN OF THE
EXTERIOR SHADES BECOME THE HIGHLIGHTED DETAILS AND TEXTURES ON THE SIMPLE-FORMED
FACADES THAT SUPPORT THE EXTERIOR STAIR.
CEMENTITIOUS PRODUCT IS USED MINIMALLY AS A BACKGROUND MATERIAL WITH A VARYING SUBTLE
PATTERN CUT INTO TALL-NARROW PANELS THAT REFLECT THE PATTERN OF THE FEATURED SCREEN
ELEMENT. THIS PRODUCT IS APPLIED TO SIP PANELS (AN UPGRADED FORM OF EXTERIOR FRAMING
ALLOWING THE TEAM TO MEET THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF PASSIVE HOUSE) WHICH CARRY A
STRONG REGULARITY AS A SUBSTRUCTURE FOR PANEL PRODUCT, ENSURING A UNIFORM APPLICATION OF
THE MATERIAL.

BOARD DIRECTION: THE BOARD STATED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MORE ATTRACTIVE
TREATMENT APPLIED TO THE GARAGE DOOR LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE RESIDENTIAL ENTRY.
RESPONSE: THE SELECTED GARAGE DOOR COLOR IS A CUSTOM DARKER GREY TONE TO ALLOW
THE DOOR TO FEEL AS BACKGROUND TO THE FAADE. THE DOOR IS A HIGH GRADE RYTEC
DOOR THAT FUNCTIONS WITH SPEED AND WITH LITTLE NOISE OR VIBRATION.

CS1-A-1 ENERGY CHOICES At the earliest phase of project development,


examine how energy choices may influence building form, siting, and orientation, and
factor in the findings when making siting and design decisions.
CS1-B-2 DAYLIGHT AND SHADING Maximize daylight for interior and exterior
spaces and minimize shading on adjacent sites through the placement and/or design
of structures on site.
BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: The Board was supportive of the projects
deep green sustainability goals, possibly acting as a prototype for other future
projects.
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: The development team has
committed to achieving Passive House Certification for this project and will be
enrolling the project for precertification. Design elements of the project support and
compliment the approach to energy reduction, including the fixed balconies at the
south faade, doubling as fixed sun-shades, automated operable sun-shades to the
west and south, and an exterior stairway which reduces cooling/heating loads on the
building.

venting leaving a cleaner faade, and a ventilation recovery system which includes
an HVAC system for heating/cooling of units. (CS1-A-1) The project has been sited
to maximize daylight access to units and has coordinated with the adjacent future
development to the east to set back our building 10-0 from the property line to
allow for light access for both projects. (CS1-B-2)
CS2 URBAN PATTERN & FORM _____________________________________________

CS2-C1/CS2-II/ CS2-II CORNER LOTS Buildings on corner lots should reinforce


the street corner. To help celebrate the corner, pedestrian entrances and other
design features that lend to Pike/Pines character may be incorporated. These
features include architectural detailing, cornice work or frieze designs.
BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: In discussing the southwest corner of the

building faade of the preferred option, the Board was divided on the erosion of the
massing at that corner with one Board member opposed to the whole concept of
erosion at that locale. Overall, the Board members did not oppose the massing of the
preferred design scheme.

RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: The site constraints include


high voltage lines requiring a 10'-minimum setback above the first story. This site
condition creates a conflict of interest between holding the corner and allowing
the upper levels to anchor to the ground level. Given this constraint, the design
team developed an approach that allows the building to touch the ground, holding

PL2-B-3 STREET-LEVEL TRANSPARENCY Ensure transparency of street-level
uses (for uses such as nonresidential uses or residential lobbies), where appropriate,
by keeping views open into spaces behind walls or plantings, at corners, or along

BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: The Board noted the benefit of the communal
balconies for putting eyes on the street, while also emphasizing the importance of
transparency and lighting at the ground floor uses particularly the retail courtyard,
and the residential entry/lobby area.
The Board also had reservations about the viability of the proposed live/work units
although they did support stepping this area back to create defensible space and
encourage blinds to be drawnand expressed the need to maintain a high degree of
transparency in order to activate the street along 13th Ave.

PL2-I PERSONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY Lighting installed for pedestrians


should be hooded or directed to pathways leading towards buildings.
BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: At EDG, the board emphasized the importance
of street lighting and suggested the design team develop the site lighting strategy for
the next meeting.
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: The team has developed a site
lighting strategy that includes both interior lighting at the retail courtyard to light up
into the right of way, overhead canopy lights, lighting of the exterior stair, and limited
landscape up-lighting to enhance the project and facilitate safer pedestrian movement
around the site.
PL3 STREET-LEVEL INTERACTION / ENTRIES & EDGES ____________________________

PL3-A-1 DESIGN OBJECTIVES Design primary entries to be obvious, identifiable,


and distinctive with clear lines of sight and lobbies visually connected to the street.
Scale and detail them to function well for their anticipated use and also to fit with the
building of which they are a part, differentiating residential and commercial entries
with design features and amenities specific to each.
a. Office/commercial lobbies should be visually connected to the street through
the primary entry and sized to accommodate the range and volume of foot
traffic anticipated;
PL2-1 | LIGHTING STRATEGY

RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: See DC1-A regarding entry court


stair/view balconies.

b. Retail entries should include adequate space for several patrons to enter and
exit simultaneously, preferably under cover from weather.

The live/work units have been replaced with proposed flexible commercial space
(office or retail), allowing for continual activation throughout the base. The interior
commercial space sets back to align with the upper level facades, allowing for
landscape to flank the commercial entry and allow for the commercial space to spill
along the ROW. Moveable planters have been designed to allow for a layer of privacy
screening for an office use to incentivize to keep blinds open. The planters can be
removed to create a plaza if a retailer occupies the space and desires a more direct
street relationship.

c. Common entries to multi-story residential buildings need to provide privacy


and security for residents but also be welcoming and identifiable to visitors.
Design features emphasizing the entry as a semi-private space are
recommended and may be accomplished through signage, low walls and/or
landscaping, a recessed entry area, and other detailing that signals a break from
the public sidewalk.

d. Individual entries to ground-related housing should be scaled and detailed


appropriately to provide for a more intimate type of entry. The design should
contribute to a sense of identity, opportunity for personalization, offer privacy,
and emphasize personal safety and security for building occupants.

PL3-A-2 ENSEMBLE OF ELEMENTS Design the entry as a collection of
coordinated elements including the door(s), overhead features, ground surface,
landscaping, lighting, and other features. Consider a range of elements such as:
a. overhead shelter: canopies, porches, building extensions;
b. transitional spaces: stoops, courtyards, stairways, portals, arcades, pocket
gardens, decks;
c. ground surface: seating walls; special paving, landscaping, trees, lighting;

PIKE STREET COMMERCIAL SPACE

PL3-B-1 SECURITY AND PRIVACY Provide security and privacy for residential
buildings through the use of a buffer or semi-private space between the development
and the street or neighboring buildings. Consider design approaches such as elevating
the main floor, providing a setback from the sidewalk, and/or landscaping to indicate
the transition from one type of space to another.
PL3-B-2 GROUND-LEVEL RESIDENTIAL Privacy and security issues are
particularly important in buildings with ground-level housing, both at entries and
where windows are located overlooking the street and sidewalk. Consider providing
a greater number of transition elements and spaces, and choose materials carefully to
clearly identify the transition from public sidewalk to private residence. In addition to
the ideas in PL3.B1, design strategies include:

PL3-B-4 INTERACTION Provide opportunities for interaction among residents


and neighbors. Consider locating commonly used features or services such as
mailboxes, outdoor seating, seasonal displays, childrens play equipment, and
space for informal events in the area between buildings as a means of encouraging
interaction.
PL3-C-1 POROUS EDGE Engage passersby with opportunities to interact visually
with the building interior using glazing and transparency. Create multiple entries
where possible and make a physical and visual connection between people on the
sidewalk and retail activities in the building.
PL3-C-2 VISIBILITY Maximize visibility into the building interior and merchandise
displays. Consider fully operational glazed wall-sized doors that can be completely
opened to the street, increased height in lobbies, and/or special lighting for displays.
PL3-C-3 ANCILLARY ACTIVITIES Allow space for activities such as sidewalk
vending, seating, and restaurant dining to occur. Consider setting structures back
from the street or incorporating space in the project design into which retail uses can
extend.
BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: At EDG, the board noted the lack of identity
for the residential entry, with emphasis instead being placed on the reading of the
base and screening feature of the project as a single form. The board recommended
further development of this entry, with consideration for the guidelines listed above.

PL3-B+C | 13TH RESIDENTIAL ENTRY

a. vertical modulation and a range of exterior finishes on the facade to articulate


the location of residential entries;
b. pedestrian-scaled building addressing and signage, and entry elements such as
mail slots/boxes, doorbells, entry lights, planter boxes or pots; and
c. a combination of window treatments at street level, to provide solutions to
varying needs for light, ventilation, noise control, and privacy.
PL3-B-3 BUILDINGS WITH LIVE/WORK USES Maintain active and transparent
facades in the design of live/work residences that are required to orient the
nonresidential portions of the unit toward the street. Design the first floor so it can
be adapted to other commercial use as needed in the future.

The board also expressed hesitation with the incorporation of Live/Work units,
noting the consistently drawn blinds of existing live/work units in Capitol Hill.
RESPONSE AT REOMMENDATION 1: Multiple entry options for commercial
space along Pike Street have been incorporated, allowing anywhere from one
large retail space to three separate smaller spaces. Similarly, one to two separate
entries for retail or office space along 13th coupled with moveable planters allows
for unique entry character for the tenants. The modular rhythm of steel-framed
wood storefront windows creates a composed faade that plays with the vertical
relationship to the upper level while allowing separate identities along the ground
level to take place.

As residents approach the residential entry along 13th, a paving transition is flanked
by landscaping. The residential entry gate is set into the ghosted-brick faade
constructed of steel and wood, standing out along the continuous treatment of the
white porous screen. The canopy aligned above the door incorporates weather
protection and relief from the street. As part of the screened corner, the residential
lobby has direct visual access into and out of the space. The lobby is layered with
landscape and the open stair creating an active space that holds integrated seating,
a feature tree along the entry path, a mail room and bike storage just beyond the
main circulation space. Additionally an amenity mezzanine will overlook the layered
residential lobby creating a nuanced and active space.
The development team has moved from Live/Work units along 13th, opting to
encourage more commercial use (office or retail) at this location.
BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Courtyard) The
Board agreed that the courtyard had been successfully redesigned using operable
gates which improved security and safety. The Board noted a concern that the
courtyard was redesigned for commercial retail users and no longer for residential
users. Members were more comfortable with the idea of the space being used in
conjunction with an active retail or restaurant use as opposed to the possibility that
the space might be used in associated with a drug store reducing the effectiveness of
the space activating the street. (CS2-A-2, CS2-C-1, PL3-A, PL3-B)
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 2: The design of the residential entry
includes an interruption in the patterned metal screen with an expression of wood
that denotes the entry point. The entry gate is composed with a steel frame with
gaps allowing for visual access into the space, but allowing for some level of privacy
for residents.
As a unique exterior space, the residential entry lobby includes a feature tree
between the retail space, allowing for privacy, but offering layered interest of visual
access into the space. Furthermore, the stair configuration opens up from Level 2 to
allow for a seating nook, allowing residents to take advantage of the space.

DC2-C-2 DUAL PURPOSE ELEMENTS Consider architectural features that can
be dual purposeadding depth, texture, and scale as well as serving other project
functions. Examples include shading devices and windows that add rhythm and
depth as well as contribute toward energy efficiency and/or savings or canopies that
provide streetlevel scale and detail while also offering weather protection. Where
these elements are prominent design features, the quality of the materials is critical.
DC2-D-3 FIT WITH NEIGHBORING BUILDINGS Use design elements to
achieve a successful fit between a building and its neighbors, such as: a. considering
aspects of neighboring buildings through architectural style, roof line, datum line
detailing, fenestration, color or materials, b. using trees and landscaping to enhance
the building design and fit with the surrounding context, and/or c. creating a wellproportioned base, middle and top to the building in locations where this might
be appropriate. Consider how surrounding buildings have addressed base, middle,
and top, and whether those solutions or similar ones might be a good fit for the
project and its context.

RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: The team has developed both the


stair/balcony design and the screened corner element (hosting both the residential
entry and exterior retail space) to enhance the relationship of the two, and provide
greater detail/texture to these major building features. Large timber columns and glulam beams have been developed as the structure for both the porches and exterior
court, reinforcing the visual connection andproviding a human scale and texture. The
residential entry and large timber columns recessed into the screen element reveal
the wood structure and entry door behind, both playing on the concept of multiple
layers of the Passive House, and creating an opportunity for the form to remain
intact while simultaneously drawing attention to this primary building entry.
The project team is collaborating with the Capitol Hill Eco District and Arts District
to guide the process for selecting a local artist to produce a mural on the north
faade. The faade is simple and composed, allowing the stair that extends above to
carry the mural and give prominence as an urban identifier approaching Pike Street
from the north.

DC2-D-1 HUMAN SCALE Incorporate architectural features, elements, and details


that are of human scale into the building facades, entries, retaining walls, courtyards,
and exterior spaces in a manner that is consistent with the overall architectural
concept. Pay special attention to the first three floors of the building in order to
maximize opportunities to engage the pedestrian and enable an active and vibrant
street front.

BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Entries/Access)


The Board felt that the feature stair described as a major visual element located
on the west facing faade during EDG was greatly diminished as a result of the
introduction of other more prominent building elements and colors. The Board felt
that the programming and the aesthetic treatment expressed in the original concept
of the viewing porch as an integrated open space at each level had become less
significant. The Board reminded the applicant that they wanted to see how the

DESIGN GUIDELINES | PIKE-PINE URBAN VILLAGE + CAPITOL HILL


The treatment of the roof of the exterior stair was developed to maintain a floating
plane similar to what was presented at EDG. The roof takes on a similar language to
the stair landing structures that repeat up the faade creating a stitching of volumes
to the north and south and creating a repetitive horizontal pattern that gives the stair
prominence and visibility from the street.
BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Architectural
Character) The Board while encouraging the design team to abandon the design
option that favored the preservation of the character structure, felt that the overall
parti of the revised design had been compromised. The Board was not in agreement
with the revised design approach that emphasized the strong vertical color
elements along the south and west facing building facades. They felt that the vertical
articulation of the facade was now in direct competition with the stair, and because
of the high contrast of the facade treatment, the stair felt diminished. Board also felt
that the impact of the feature stair element discussed in detail at the EDG in addition
to the screened outdoor spaces located along the stairwell had become visually
separated from the overall building form and the without integrating into the rest of
the building or feature stair. Members verbalized that they thought that the project
had become three different building types without a unifying design approach. The
Board agreed that the revised design elements were no longer representative of the
precedent images included in the design packet. (DC2-A-1, DC2-B-1, DC2-B-2,
DC2-C-1, DC2-C-2, DC2-C-3, DC2-D-2)
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 2: In reconsidering (DC2-B-1) the
faade composition, the project team explored the treatment of the upper level
facades to create a composition that better supports the courtyard and stair. First,
the team studied reducing the high-contrast of the facade by looking at background
building colorations of various grey tones, which led to the evolution of a white
faade. The white background building compliments the white screened exterior
space using a randomized panel pattern which allows the wood treatment of the
stairwell to be supported rather than compete, reflecting the structure and design of
the exterior courtyards.
In integrating visual depth and interest (DC2-C-1) and texture (DC2-D-2):
1. At the lower levels as well as above, the project team opted to change the
windows to a wood foil finish that would relate to the wood storefront at the retail
base, stained glulam beams at the exterior stair, and the vertical wood feature

wall adjacent the stair. The European tripled-glazed windows meet the thermal
performance required for passive house standards.
2. Adding more texture and depth the framing of the storefront widows along the
ground level is reflected in the window detail above. An individual frame around
each window hosts an automated exterior mechanical roller shade mounted above
the window. The combined window treatment and wood expression creates a scale
of texture over the facade giving prominence to the windows without diminishing
the stair or the featured courtyard space, bringing continuity of design reminiscent
of the inspiration images presented at EDG.
3. Given the white backdrop of the upper level facade, the project team studied
various patterning of the automated screens. In an effort to further support the
language of the screened courtyard metal pattern, the team applied a pixelated
pattern of various shades of grey which will create visual interest when down.
DC3 OPEN SPACE CONCEPT _______________________________________________

DC3-B-1 MEETING USER NEEDS Plan the size, uses, activities, and features of
each open space to meet the needs of expected users, ensuring each space has a
purpose and function.
DC3-B-2 MATCHING USES TO CONDITIONS Respond to changing
environmental conditions such as seasonal and daily light and weather shifts through
open space design and/or programming of open space activities. For example, place
outdoor seating and gathering areas where there is sunny exposure and shelter
from wind. Build flexibility into the design in order to accommodate changes as
needed; e.g. a south-facing courtyard that is ideal in spring may become too hot
in summer, necessitating a shift of outdoor furniture to a shadier location for the
season.
DC3-B-3 CONNECTIONS TO OTHER OPEN SPACE Site and design projectrelated open spaces should connect with, or enhance, the uses and activities of
other nearby public open space where appropriate. Look for opportunities to
support uses and activities on adjacent properties and/or the sidewalk.

and social interaction. Some examples include areas for gardening, childrens play
(covered and uncovered), barbeques, resident meetings, and crafts or hobbies.
BOARD DIRECTION AT EDG: The board generally liked the landscape
concept presented at EDG, requesting further development of landscape treatments
at the roof, and suggesting consideration of some landscaping along the communal
balconies to connect the ground treatment to the roof terrace.
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 1: The landscape design has been
made to create a very lush forest floor environment at the base with a meadowlike treatment at the rooftop (establishing the tree canopy). The stairwell connection
to the base has been treated architecturally, allowing for a successful density of
plantings at manageable locations.
The exterior ground level spaces are covered by glass canopies allowing for shelter
and use beyond the summer months. The residential lobby has multiple layers of
canopies, allowing for a more complex protection from weather derived from the
tree canopy concept.

BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Materials) Board
members verbalized disappointed that Hardie Board would be used along E. Pike
St., characterized as a prominent street. Members felt that the use of Hardie would
not be in keeping with the history and character of many of the surrounding building
structures and were concerned it would set a negative precedence contrary to
sustainable design practices in addition to having concerns regarding the quality of
the facade composition and texture along Pike Street which are addressed by the
neighborhood design guidelines for Pike Pine. Finally the Board stated that they
would like to see a more attractive treatment applied to the garage door located to
the west of the residential entry. (DC4-A, DC4-I)
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 2: Materials focused on creating a
unique detailed base with a supporting upper level treatment intended to recede to
enable a focus on enhancing the visual pedestrian experience through Capitol Hill,
to contrast and provide relief to the standard aluminum storefronts with minimal
canopies throughout the neighborhood, and to highlight the features of Passive
House the project team have invested in (high-performance European windows,
automated exterior window shades, an expressive exterior stair which also enhances
the thermal envelope). Unique pedestrian features that contribute to the enhanced
environment include: a custom laser cut metal screen structured with large stained
timber framing; wood storefronts with steel frames surrounding windows that occur
where residential windows align above; vertical stained board-formed concrete;
metal canopies with wood slat soffits throughout; exposed glulam stair structure;
window frames incorporating automated shades that create texture along the faade
and relate back to the ground level through the composition of the storefront.
The fabric of the building becomes background to these features that enhance the
pedestrian experience in the neighborhood. The development team established the
imperative of creating an environmentally progressive project as well as establishing
a unique modern architecture that establishes the corner of an undeveloped
intersection.

support the exterior stair.
The selected garage door color is a custom darker grey tone to allow the door to
recede and become background to the stronger commercial faade. The door is a
high-grade Rytec door that functions with speed and reduced noise and vibration.
BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Lighting) The Board
members wanted to see better lighting that creates a better glow of the stair
and courtyard. The Board in reviewing the different night images of the project
presented by the applicant suggested that they would like to see more light in
relationship to the screened exterior courtyard space. (DC4-C-2)
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 2: The lighting of the stair and the
courtyard was finessed to create a soft glow, serving as a beacon to the undeveloped DC4-C-2 | LIGHTING
intersection of 13th Avenue and E. Pike St.
BOARD DIRECTION AT RECOMMENDATION 1: (Mural) Members of
the Board were concerned that the mural might be subject to graffiti or become
obscured if new development were to take place on the abutting lot. A suggestion
was offered that the mural might be more of an abstraction rather than an actual
image. The Board did continue to agree that treatment of this blank wall with artistic
elements would be supported.
RESPONSE AT RECOMMENDATION 2: The mural will be digitally
documented to ensure it lives beyond the building and the artist will be fully aware
that it may potentially be covered by future development. There are no current
development plans slated for the project site to the north. The north wall was seen
as an opportunity to create a message about the eco-district as well as the story of
Passive House. The mural project will be a community engaged project with the
process being led by the ECO and Arts Districts of Capitol Hill.

Cementitious product is used minimally and only as a background material with a


varying subtle pattern cut into tall, narrow panels that reflects the pattern of the

form of exterior framing allowing the team to replace the need for thicker insulation
and increase thermal penetrations to meet the aggressive thermal performance
required for Passive House) which carry a strong regularity as a substructure for
panel product, ensuring a uniform application of the material. The upgrade of

5. PRELIMINARY EVALUATION
There is no historic property inventory for 1300 E Pike Street in the City of Seattle Department of
Neighborhoods survey database. The property was identified as significant to the community in the
1975 Historic Seattle-sponsored urban inventory and historic surveys of Capitol and First Hills (Nyberg
and Steinbrueck), as were many other buildings in the vicinity, but it was not cited as a potential
landmark. The property is cited in a 2011 DAHP Legacy Survey but the resulting form is a simple data
upload with little information about its history or architecture and no determination of eligibility.
The masonry building was constructed in 1926, 89 years ago, and it thus meets the age standard required
of a local landmark. As noted in the architectural description, however, the vernacular style retail
building has undergone extensive changes to four of its original retail storefronts, with removal and
replacement of doors, display windows, and some transoms, as well as changes to the interior layout. The
original brick masonry and terra cotta, while intact, has been painted or covered. While it retains its
original massing and some of the original south facade storefronts, the building appears to have lost much
of its historical integrity. Its current conditions raise questions as to whether the property meets the
threshold standards of the citys landmark ordinance.
In response to the designation criteria, the property is not associated with any significant event or person,
and its historical association with the neighborhoods development appears general rather than significant.
Thus, it does not appear to meet criteria A, B, or C. In contrast to its original appearance, the present
exterior has been diminished and many of the distinctive characteristics of an architectural style, period,
or method of construction have been lost. It does not appear to meet criteria D. The identities of the
original architect and building have not been discovered and it cannot meet criterion E as an outstanding
design work.
The building is situated on a corner, but it is located on a secondary street rather than arterial in the PikePine neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Its size, scale, and date of construction are comparable to other
surrounding buildings. The property does not appear to meet criterion F.

Building Interior
The interior of the building, most of which is currently used as the offices for a construction contracting
company, has undergone recent upgrades to the electrical and mechanical systems and the layout has been
somewhat modified from the time it was inhabited by Frans Chocolates. The most distinguishing
features of the interior are the original storefronts, which are angled and exhibit a relatively high level of
C OP Y R I G H T 2 0 1 6
architectural detail. These entries protrude noticeably into the otherwise simple and straightforward
office spaces. In contrast, the large office in the southwest corner is set within one of the modernized bays
that has been made flush with the exterior wall and fitted with small metal-frame windows with high sills.
th
The vehicle/service bays off 13 Avenue are used for the company truck and materials storage.
