Good news people on this glorious Saturday! :)
======================= Amazon poised to lease iconic new Seattle office tower, dramatically expanding footprint again Quote:
https://www.geekwire.com/2017/amazon...ing-footprint/ |
So Seattle's getting in on the boot tower action lol, reminds me a lot of the Eau Du Soleil project. Could be iconic if done right.
|
Will be exciting to see this rise, looks ready for take off soon:
https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/...kyscraper.html With Amazon as the tenant, work starts on Seattle skyscraper Amazon is taking all 722,000 square feet of office space in the high-rise that will be Seattle's second tallest building after Columbia Center. (rest of article is behind paywall) |
Can't wait for this one. Seattle has several buildings in the 700 foot range with a sudden jump to the 900+ range. An 850 footer has been in much need for over 25 years. Glad this looks about to start.
|
What was the reason for designing this unusual piece in this manner?? I give it 8/10 as it is definitely different but a bit monolithic in form. The cladding looks killer though, if it has lighting features at night, 9.5/10!

Rainier Square shops come down to make way for Rainier Square tower

I like a lot of Seattle's new construction but this proposal is really unfortunate. What is the point of this ugly boot shape? Why is part of the corner randomly cut off? The facade makes a really half-hearted forced attempt at texture, totally nonsensical design. Seattle's skyline right now is very well balanced and pleasing, sucks that this project will now throw that off and the city will be stuck with this wart for decades to come. I was really hoping the design would change or it would die, NIMBYs should have killed this.

This is a perfect example of how subjective things like architecture are because I haven't been this excited about any project in the city for a very long time for both it's height and design. It's location is wild too, right next to the beaver/golf tee building so you can be assured skyscraper/architecture nerds like us will be all over the two of them snapping pics. |

both for its presence in the skyline at large and down at street level where the interplay with rainier tower's funky inverted base should make for a very interesting juxtaposition. the height is also a nice plus and will really help solidify seattle as one top 10 US skylines in terms of size and height, IMO. |
Cool article (and video!) of the rebar free core that will be used to speed up construction

How is it that the tallest project in decades in one of the best skylines in North America hasn't had any pictures taken of it in almost a month?
WTF? |

^That's an amazing angle too, talk about a concrete jungle.

The proposed treatment on the other hand is $12,000 :runaway: |
