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.
