Mid-Rise/Mixed-Use Design Studio
1
We know urban mid-rise.
For over 25 years Weber Thompson has been designing highly successful mid-rise multifamily projects within the city’s urban fabric. We understand the market forces, city requirements and complicated technical necessities this type of building demands. This depth of experience allows us to focus on the design and craft a high quality building without busting the budget or schedule.
Most of the mid-rise multifamily projects we design have a context – they exist within a community and among buildings that establish design constraints and opportunities. What we design are very much neighborhood buildings.
Design in context, sensitive to the scale and character of surrounding buildings, will be essential as your project evolves from planning to architectural design.

Sunset Electric SE AT TLE, WA
Sunset Electric is a twentieth century courtyard building. Expanding on an existing 1926 brick building, this project is a mixed-use residential and commercial structure, wrapped around an open courtyard. The design preserves the original building’s entire masonry façade pairing it with a quieter, non-competing frame; it provides a neutral foil to the historic masonry.
Taking cues from the past, the building’s form promotes natural daylighting and passive cooling by organizing a single loaded structure around an open-air courtyard; an extension to an open-air lobby that connects to the pedestrian street. A prominent exterior stairwell encourages walking between levels. These strategies create a social focal point for the building while eliminating mechanically-conditioned corridors and common areas promoting through-unit ventilation and allowing operable windows at both ends of most units for daylighting.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Echoing its history, the lobby features concrete floors, glass walls and heavy metal work reminiscent of a mechanic’s lair. A commissioned piece by Claudius Phaedrus covers a wall, made by layered (specific) newspaper much like the building’s former poster art. The artist was inspired by the forest-like feeling of the open air courtyard, and created a mural to reflect the feeling of trees, distortion, animals and the ‘urban jungle.’
A monochromatic palette predominates with jolts of electric yellow in the lightning bolt mosaic at the back of the lobby, and marking unit doors. The courtyard and roof deck are populated with furniture featuring low, clean lines in an array of grays with pops of yellow.
Wood details strew the building – bedroom barn doors, kitchen shelves, coat hooks and mailroom details – all made locally by Montana Originals from the original building’s reclaimed wood. Units are cleanly designed to take maximum advantage of the oversized windows and provide ample fresh air, as many of the units have windows on both the outside of the building and on the courtyard, enabling natural cross-ventilation.

L ANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
At Sunset Electric, residents are seldom enclosed. An airy lobby leads to an innovative courtyard, open to the skies with lush landscaping visible at every level. In the residences, large windows – in some units on both the exterior of the building and facing the courtyard – forge a connection with the elements. Above, a rooftop deck with wide vistas of downtown Seattle, Mt. Rainier and Capitol Hill allow residents to dine and play alfresco.
With such a connection to the outside, the landscape needed to pay careful attention to creating elegant, welcoming spaces and supporting the project’s ambitious sustainability goals.

Pike Motorworks SE AT TLE, WA
For this project, the site drove everything. A jumble of properties cobbled together to span a full block – touching each street yet controlling only one corner – the architecture needed to create urban passages to be a cohesive development. To that end, our designers turned the project inside out, developing two internal, public, mid-block connectors, north/south and east/west, lined with live/work, commercial, residential entrances and focused retail, all destined to draw residents and passersby through the project and become a new gathering, shopping space for the greater neighborhood.
On Pike Street, the south connector entrance is the former BMW Showroom, a brick and timber structure from 1926 that features a curved entry re-purposed as a focal point for the entire project. Incorporating this structure into the development largely made the project possible by allowing the building to rise an extra story above what the existing zoning would allow.

In Seattle’s edgy Capitol Hill neighborhood, there are few luxury apartment options. The vibrant area is close to shopping, dining and is an ideal place to call home for those who work in Downtown or First Hill. This project is the high-end living solution the neighborhood has been waiting for.
Setting a new standard of luxury, Pike Motorworks highlights the work of local and international artists, uses highly curated finishes, and contains spacious units with targeted amenities.
The lobby, with fully staffed concierge desk, features a lavish wool rug set atop a highly polished concrete floor. A modern fireplace is clad in wood paneling and leather accent tiles adorn accent walls to add a touch of opulence.
Many of the spacious units feature six-piece baths, integrated storage, casework closets and European kitchens and baths. Custom LED lighting adds sparkle and drama to the high-end residences.

COURT YARD
Crafting a fairly large development around this significant, yet comparatively small, building took respect for both the exterior brick façade and the interior volumes which designers took advantage of to create a high, transparent passage for residents. Rising from the base of the brick structure is a subdued, seven-level building with a quiet, controlled palette, designed to mitigate the size of the project and help the mass recede into the background allowing the complex, engaging pedestrian experience to shine.
Anchored by placemaking retail, Pike Motorworks will feature a flagship Redhook Brewpub at its base. An open catwalk will extend over the brewery into the LTD resident lounge for the ultimate social space. Other exciting retail fills the storefronts.

Elan Uptown FlatsSE AT TLE, WA
An important driver of an urban project is how the building engages the street and its pedestrians. The design team for Lower Queen Anne’s Elan Uptown Flats prioritized the sidewalk experience by strategically carving the building’s base to provide breathing room and ample space for landscaping buffers along the live/work units. The design takes security and privacy into account creating graceful transitions between the public street, private stoops, and socially-focused porch where residents can gather.
This urban porch is the driving concept of the building’s main entry. It creates a welcoming feature entry for the building, reinforces community building and actively and passively engages the public realm at the street corner.
A clean, modern design marks Elan Uptown Flats. A sophisticated material palette includes stack bond brick masonry, fiber-cement panels in neutral colors, and vertically oriented windows. Interior design, also by Weber Thompson, incorporates rich natural materials and colors.

EXPLORING INTERIOR SPACE THROUGH VIRTUAL REALIT Y
The architectural design process uses dialogue, sketching, and physical or 3D modeling to translate the ideas behind the architecture to the project team, clients and community at large. Evaluating the sense of scale and volume of a space can be difficult to convey with drawings and screen-based imagery and full-scale mock-ups can be cost prohibitive.
With the emergence of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality visualizations, we are now able to place ourselves “inside the model” to more closely experience architectural space and get visceral feedback for iterative design modeling as well as presentation experiences.
For the 2016 Seattle Architecture Foundation Model Exhibit, Weber Thompson used VR to communicate the design of Elan Uptown Flats. Two views were modeled and headsets were provided so exhibit visitors could experience the interior volumes of this yet-to-be completed building through Virtual Reality.

UCSF Mission Bay Student HousingSAN FR ANCISCO, C A
This project, named ‘Conspicuous Consumption,’ is all about encouraging creative and feasible approaches to zero net energy (ZNE) building, specifically for mixed-use student housing on a site on the UCSF Mission Bay campus.
Weber Thompson partnered with energy consultants at WSP Group to empirically demonstrate that the design would meet ZNE. It does so through reduced loads and intensified user engagement, which is encouraged through highly visible, easy-to-use integrated feedback systems.
The budget for net-zero energy is tracked and displayed in real time. At an individual level, a smart phone app aids in tracking; at a building level, dynamic color LED lighting highlights the top performing floors; and at a campus level the three buildings’ relative performance is displayed, encouraging competition and conversation. As a result, students and their families actively manage their energy with continual feedback.

In Seattle’s University District, University Christian Church and Bellwether Housing teamed up to develop an affordable housing community with units designed specifically for families.
Families have a different variety of spatial needs than single individuals, or couples. With a mix of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units, it supports safety and security to group these family units together. The building is split into two with a daylight filled central lobby. The family units are all in the south portion, which is organized around a courtyard with a play structure. The north portion contains studios, open one and one bedroom units slightly separated from the often noisy activities of children.
Within the family units, many considerations of how families work and play together are investigated. These units tend to have larger central living spaces to accommodate activities ranging from eating to homework. Bedrooms are smaller with efficient storage solutions. Window heights are higher to allow flexible furniture placement to increase floor space and entries are larger to fit strollers and storage for toys, coats, shoes or whatever else families might collect.

4730 CaliforniaSE AT TLE, WA
We love it when a project extends the fabric of a neighborhood and is welcomed with open arms. After working closely with the community, and receiving their overwhelming support, we designed a building that brought new retail to a retail Mecca.
The nearly 5,000 sf of retail wraps around the north corner of the building and extends into a new mid-block pedestrian connector. This pass through is generously widened and activated by holding the building back at ground level and lining it with retail, the building’s main entry and activity spaces such the tenant amenity and lounge area. This activity follows the entire connector and continues part way along the back of the building with the fitness center, creating eyes on the alley and enhancing safety. The landscaping along here works with the modulation of the building to create a ground plan that successfully integrates both and provides an enhanced amenity to the neighborhood.
A strong corner tower marks the entrance to the connector, with a base that allows for ample seating, and overhead weather protection, creating a small enclave that welcomes pedestrians and residents.

West Seattle is all about big-city amenities with a small-town vibe, and that’s exactly what residents of 4730 California Avenue enjoy. At seven levels, this 88-unit mixed-use building has got it all, but if that’s not enough, the surrounding neighborhood offers all a person could want and then some.
Our designers found themselves drawn to the concepts of the shoreline while conceptualizing the interiors for this project. They’ve found the perfect combination of a modern nautical-inspired design that never approaches kitschy. Rich textures and natural materials such as reclaimed wood contrast high-shine finishes and other utterly modern details to strike a perfect balance.
Amenities are in no short supply at 4730 California, which includes a fitness room, rooftop deck, and generous lobby, lounge, and gathering spaces. A mid-block pedestrian walkway provides easy access to street-level retail and the shops, restaurants, and stores that abound in the immediate neighborhood.

Located in the heart of West Seattle’s tightly-knit ‘Junction,’ the team engaged a diverse group of stakeholders to craft an innovative mid-block connector between the busy retail space of California Ave and an existing alleyway. The team took a huge leap of faith and fully embraced the mid-block connector as an integral part of the design vision. Retail lines the frontage, and the lobby entry is pulled deep into the passageway. Plantings, lighting elements, and seating activate the space and ensure user safety to make this connector a unique amenity and entry threshold for the building.
Residents of 4730 California have access to a stunning rooftop deck. One of several well-considered amenities, the roof deck at 4730 California provides panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and downtown Seattle. A rose arbor provides shade and wind protection for residents enjoying the view. A drought-tolerant green roof covers 45% of the roof area. This green roof is beneficial as it diverts runoff, provides habitat for pollinators and insulates the building.

The WallySE AT TLE, WA
Stone Way is a large commercially-oriented boulevard surrounded by older, single family neighborhoods. Recent developments have been slowly evolving the busy street into one with a more walkable, urban character. The Wally is one that joins this revitalization. Located mid way between the water and 45th Avenue, this thoughtfully designed 27 unit, boutique apartment building brings sympathetic proportions, scale and massing to the neighborhood.
Inside and out, the building is aimed at an urban, minimalist resident. Clean lines and generous glazing create a beautifully spare building with small retail spaces on the ground floor to activate Stone Way. Minimal parking is located behind the retail space on the ground floor, reflecting the nearby nexus of public transit options. All the units are flexible one bedrooms or open studios allowing residents to do a lot with a smaller space.

Smack in the middle of the South Lake Union Amazon campus, 400 Boren is a new development that brings much needed apartments to this primarily commercial neighborhood. It is the epitome of live/work/play, as the Weber Thompson team used psychographics to drive the design of the units and the amenity package, targeting the immediate workforce.
The building runs an entire half block, making for a very long façade. To break it up, our designers created two distinct buildings linked by a recessed entry court. To the north, the
“Lake District” is a highly articulated structure with upper level terraces and large windows to take advantage of views of Lake Union. Roof decks and indoor amenity spaces on levels Eight and Nine have stunning views of Lake Union and the Space Needle. Oriented south is the “Urban Quarter,” a more taut design with prominent corner elements, accented roofline and decks. The back of the building is a classic “E” shape design, bringing light and air into the building, and allowing two generous courtyards for adjacent units.

Eden Hill SE AT TLE, WA
When the opportunity arose to transform an old gas station on the top of the Hill into a mixed-use building, the Queen Anne community followed closely. In designing Eden Hill, we engaged the neighborhood, incorporating their design guidelines and contextual standards to design a building approved of by both the community and developer.
The result is a well proportioned, modern interpretation of an early 20th century, brick building. Working with this high quality material, our designers took special care with the brick, creating visual interest with details such as the corbel at the top of the building. This detail draws the eye and terminates the brick in an elegant manner.
The site was originally surrounded by curb cuts in the sidewalk promoting vehicle activity applicable to the gas station, but not retail businesses. The new building provides an activated street facade that promotes pedestrian activity and safety. The enhanced pedestrian environment is supported by the connection made to the nearby Queen Anne Community Center and park.

True NorthSE AT TLE, WA
Inspired by the vivid hues of the Cinque Terre villages frequented by travelers, hikers and outdoorsmen, this mixed-use apartment building has been developed into a series of smaller well-proportioned masses rendered in contrasting, bold colors. These various pieces contribute to a “hill town” concept that is recognizable from many vantage points in the area, and that responds to the sloped character of the site and the rhythms found in adjacent developments.
Just blocks from Lake Union Park, South Lake Union, MOHAI, and The Center for Wooden Boats, True North has been infused with amenities to appeal to outdoor recreation enthusiasts. From the roof deck, residents have uninhibited views of Lake Union and the Cascade Mountains to the east while they grill their pizza in a wood-fired brick pizza oven. To the west, residents can enjoy views of the Space Needle and the Olympic Mountain Range while letting their pup roam around in the doggie area.
At the ground level, the building includes large retail and restaurant spaces at the corner of Aloha, as well as several live/work units.

Interior DesignTell me a story.
From the time we are little kids, we beg our parents, teachers, friends to tell us a story – it’s how we share the past, create the future, and celebrate the present. For us, interior design is all about telling a story – through space, light, color, and mood, from the curve of a chair leg to the typeface on a menu. Each piece fits together to weave an experience that challenges, inspires, comforts, or delights, and ultimately invites people back for more.
