Pier 56 Office Renovation, Mithun Architects, Seattle, WA
Mithun’s renovation of Pier 56 reveals and celebrates the soul of this century-old landmark. Open spaces respect the fabric of the historic structure and integrate the firm’s activities, catalyzing design dialogue and innovation. Project teams work in multi-disciplinary groups connected by a central Main Street and a host of flexible conference, collaboration and maker spaces. Natural finishes, visible building systems and amenities support occupant health and comfort, from hand-operated clerestory windows to locker rooms for bike commuters. A resilient landmark and agile workplace for the future, Pier 56 provides a critical link between the past and future on Seattle’s evolving waterfront.
IES managed the Materials Petal imperatives for this 36,000-sf architectural studio set within an historic waterfront pier.
Mithun is seeking LBC Materials Petal certification.
