Energy

The building design utilizes plenty sources of natural sunlight from the custom window facades to the skylights on the roof, decreasing the usage of artificial lighting. There are solar panels implemented onto the building to generate sunlight into electricity to produce light.

Waste

Located at the west side of Pier 56 is a trash & recycling room. A trash chute connecting from level 1 up to level 2 for easier access transporting trash outside. Next to this room is a service elevator for employees only to access both floors of the building.

SECTION B

LOCAL FOOD VENDOR & CAFE BRANDING

There are 6 full kitchen food vendor booths that is open to any small business to rent out along with a shared storage space.

The idea came from food trucks but instead it is placed in an indoor seating where people can gather together and eat food with the view of the Seattle Great wheel.
