Situated in the northern part of Seattle, a 5-story mixed-use building is designed with an ununiform skin to give each interior unit a distinctive setting. This approach embraces the principles of modern architecture, emphasizing diversity and individuality within a cohesive structure. The facade's varied design ensures that, while the interior layouts may be similar, the strategic placement of windows creates unique light patterns and views for each unit. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also enriches the living experience by providing each unit with its own unique character and setting. The design leverages the concept of "contextual adaptability," where the exterior form and its elements respond dynamically to both the urban environment and the interior spatial organization.
