EASTGATE PSH Permanent Supportive Housing Bellevue, Washington Status: Under Construction hoist. Expanded Info: Client: Plymouth Housing Cost: ± $12.8 M GSF: ± 54,000 Duration: 08/20 - Present Responsibilities: Project Lead through all Design Phases. Schematic Design through Construction Administration.

Campus of Change Located just off of I-90 in Bellevue, WA, Eastgate PSH is part of a master plan called “The Eastgate Housing Campus.” The campus consists of 3 unique phases; Phase I is a large residential apartment complex on the site’s lower shelf. Phase II is wholly a permanent homeless shelter (the first in Bellevue), following with Phase III, which consists of Eastgate PSH.

Highway View

A New Model This entire project is rather controversial within the city of Bellevue, stemming from this project containing the first permanent facilities within the city that cater to the homeless and a support structure for those leaving homelessness. Plainly put, PSH is an acronym for Permanent Supportive Housing. The goal for these facilities are to offer formerly homeless citizens the opportunity to have a safe, affordable place to live while they transition back into society. With this, the entire upper shelf is comprised of a partnership between CFH (Congregations for the Homeless) and Plymouth Housing to offer this brand new arm of support to a community in need. Pandemic Playbook + Concrete Strikes

N Shelter View

Throughout the life of this project, there have been many issues and delays caused by both the Covid-19 Pandemic, as well as the months-long concrete strike that hit King County causing the project to be delayed for months on end. Coupled with the exponential cost of price escalations across the board, the need for a robust VE exercise became apparent, and successfully brought the project cost back down to reality.

Upper Shelf Development In the spirit of interconnectivity, the two phases on the upper shelf aim to reflect each other through both design intention, as well as the functionality of the shared expression between the shelter and the PSH building.

One prominent design decision that was heavily featured on the project was the use of window shrouds, providing a prominent sense of depth on an otherwise flat facade by providing defined transitions between openings, as well as similar fabrications at notable siding transitions. Due to cost escalations already having an impact on the project, a method for fabricating these shrouds was developed from a multiple piece assembly in lieu of a single-piece fabrication.

Amenity Shelter Another featured design element of the project is the amenity shelter located in the west amenity area directly adjacent to the building’s west corridor exit. Going through many design iterations, eventually the final design of the structure consisted of translucent panels along the south wall and roof covering, providing the required acoustic barrier while also remaining visually striking from the street.

Bent Steel Plate Canopy

Bent Plate Canopy At the main building entry, a prominent feature to the design is the bent plate steel canopy located at the main entry knuckle. The idea being to appear thin and light, hovering above the entrance as a single flat plane, extending past the corner of the building, only visibly held back by thin cables. The canopy itself was actually fabricated in two pieces with some skillfull joinery onsite to create the assembly as a solid piece.

COURT HOUSE Custom Residential Tri-Cities, Washington Status: Under Construction hoist. Expanded Info: Client: Confidential GSF: ± 6,300 Duration: 06/20 - Present Responsibilities: Team Member through all Design Phases. Schematic Design through Construction Administration.

Street Presence The Premise behind Court House lies in the simplicity found at the intersection between the design and intent. In response to a client request, we designed a nondescript, single-story house for their family, that appears rather unassuming from the street, intentionally not drawing any attention to itself. After a few iterations in design, we were settled upon a final design.

Entry Courtyard

Courtyard Intent From the street, the residence is intentionally rather plain. The fenestration consists of rhythmic window spacing, a garage door and a small recessed alcove centered on the entry face, aiming draw you into the unsuspecting main entry. Upon entering the threshold the space opens up into a spacious courtyard, which serves as the central element in which the wings of the house radiate around.

Program Distribution One wing of the house which serves as a functional element houses the utilitarian functions, as well as the family leisure activities, whilst the other wing contains personal living spaces. Additionally, both of these wings extend further towards the rear of the property and surround an open-ended court yard to the back patio, which circulates continuously on a defined axis to the swimming pool.

Finality of Execution Thus, with the completion of this project, the concept of riding the fine line between the duality of a subdued presence on the street, coupled with eccentricity beyond a threshold, holds up to be inherently successful in its execution.

Conception The origin of the Henderson Tower project starts with the dreams of an organization looking to further expand their footprint in the city of Seattle, and the surrounding area, with their first property, designed with them, and for them, as an embodiment of their aspirations to help the community they represent, while also acting as a positive influence on the rest of the city.

Transformative Relationships The transformative character of the building and its programmatic organization heavily relies on a concise structural grid, blurring the lines between interior and exterior through the exposed horizontal and vertical structure, creating both a means of stability, but also as a means of composition through the aesthetic rhythm and fenestration of the building as a prominent element of the facade.

Duality of Place The continuation of the structural grid the extents of the envelope creates opportunities for compositions of irregular patterns of both large and small balconies, serving as appendages to each respective unit on both the front and sides of the building. With the vertical structure accentuating a contrast with the adjacent hillside while simultaneously mimicking the surrounding forest, a duality of place is formed between the structure and the site.

Project As A Whole Green Door Flats is a vibrant and dynamic residential community in the heart of the Spokane Valley. Sporting 88 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom apartments, the project aims to transform an undeveloped plot of land with a plethora of unutilized potential into a premiere destination for a more modernized take on a traditional garden concept. With the site serving as an access point to the surrounding variety of shopping and communal areas, Green Door Flats not only addresses the issue of much needed housing in the Spokane Valley, but alludes to a defined sense of community for its inhabitants both inside, and out of their dwellings.

The Residential Component Architecturally the project aims to deliver and portray a more inherent language of modernism not present in the surrounding areas of the valley. Through the use of a minimal color palette and black steel siding, the buildings themselves exude a minimal expression of color, allowing the forms themselves to really become an integral and focal point of the project, weaved together with wood accents into a cohesive whole.

The process by which products are broken The process by which broken down and divided into products standard are parts is down and divided into standard parts is rather simple to understand in terms of rather simple to understand in terms of the clubhouse product. The base program thegiven clubhouse Theas base program is to us byproduct. the clients a basis for is given to us by theon clients a basis for their requirements all of as their projects. their requirements allthen of their projects. Those requirementson are organized Those requirements are then organized into multiple wings; most commonly being intoClub multiple wings; commonly being the Wing, whichmost contains the leasing the Club Wing, contains theFitness leasing offices and clubwhich facilities, and the officeswhich and club facilities, the and Fitness Wing, contains mailand rooms a Wing, which contains mail rooms andbroken a fitness facility.
