West Edge Tower

An Oasis in the Heart of Seattle

One block from Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the West Edge Tower is a destination in and of itself. The highly crafted exterior of this 39-story mixed-use building gives way to an elegant interior experience, revealing moments of exploration and discovery that tie to the nature, local culture, and architecture found surrounding the site. The design features three distinct types of residences, each laid out to maximize the views and engage residents in the natural beauty of the area. Materials and finishes in each apartment reflect the outer landscapes and environments of the Seattle region. Penthouses provide a new offering with unmatched size, quality, and views. Beautifully designed amenities further highlight this interplay between architecture and interiors and the outside world. But nowhere is this connection more powerful than directly inside the lobby. Here, the Green Jewel Box—a naturally-lit glass enclosure containing a living Japanese maple tree—holds stillness in the heart of Seattle.

Ramona

A Pearl of Affordable Housing

Many families can't afford to live in the city of Portland. Together with our client, we took up the challenge to create affordable housing that blends with Portland’s upscale Pearl District neighborhood and reclaim space for families who have historically been priced out of the city. In response, we designed the Ramona, a six-story building with 138 affordable rental units for families earning less than 60% of median family income. An extremely tight wood-frame enclosure clad in patterned brick, with energy-efficient casement windows and low-flow water fixtures, reduces energy consumption, while solar PV panels and solar thermal water heating provides energy. Located within walking distance of the urban core’s employment opportunities, the entire building is geared towards families with children, with amenities that include a private, playground within a safe courtyard, laundry rooms, a fitness room, and a community room. In addition, the ground floor was originally leased out to Portland Public Schools for early child development program Head Start. This Hammurabi Award of Merit winner also meets the AIA 2030 challenge and is certified LEED Gold.

Theory U District

Flagship Property Design

Seattle student housing must understand that residents will come from many places, have different experiences, and pursue numerous interests. Theory U District captures the diversity of the city’s student population by celebrating convergences: The interior design highlights nature and urban-inspired elements, while the architecture juxtaposes residential and academic communities. Our goal is to offer a program that makes every student, regardless of interests or origins, feel at home. As the first Pacific Northwest project of our client, Peak Campus, this project pushed us to not only be architects and interior designers, but also guides to the local student housing market. We provided insight into Seattle’s high caliber design expectations and strict building standards, along with the creativity and innovation standards set by the likes of local giants Amazon and Microsoft. The result is a flagship property that showcases stunning design, functional amenities, and private courtyards to foster a vibrant student community.

EvergreenHealth Family Maternity Center

A Modern Maternity Center

Evergreen Health in Kirkland, Washington needed a place for new families to begin, so they consulted with a national Labor and Delivery Consultant to asses and compare their existing facility with leading family medical services around the region. Ankrom Moisan translated those results into a tangible reality. Starting with an existing wing of the hospital, our design transformed and renovated 90,000 sq. ft. into a modern maternity center, including the creation of a new Obstetrics Emergency Department (OB ED) at the entry, and renovations of the Labor and Deliver Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the Ante/Post-Partum unit. Through Lean Design workshops, our design team gathered insight from EvergreenHealth clinical staff and leadership. The collaboration with EvergreenHealth, combined with research and thoughtful planning led to a concept that will completely reimagine the experience for care providers and patients of EvergreenHealth.
