Gregg's Bellevue Cycles
105, Bellevue Way Northeast, Bellevue, WA, United States
The
site is located in Bellevue, Washington, on Bellevue Way between the Old
Bellevue District and the Bellevue Square shopping center. Bellevue Way
provides the only pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access to the site.
The
building was designed to be a pure neutral container that highlights the
bicycle. It was conceived as an elevated steel box that is supported
structurally and programmatically by a CMU perimeter zone.
The
small site and its limited access challenged the ability to have street level
retail and parking, which led to the solution of lifting the primary retail
spaces above the street level, thereby creating covered vehicle parking below
the store. The building is classified as Type IIB construction, which allows
the AESS frame to be exposed without fireproofing, and affords the opportunity
for the steel frame of the building to be a feature of the retail spatial
experience. The steel connections were developed in close collaboration between
the architect and structural engineer to create an affordable refined language
of wide flange beams and columns that borrow inspiration from traditional steel
lugged bicycle frames. The fire sprinkler, electrical, and bicycle display
systems are integrated with the structural steel frame, creating a building
order and material expression that efficiently displays and celebrates the
bicycle.
Additionally,
the building features an integrated bicycle display and facade system ? the
bikewall ? that allows the bicycles themselves to define the image and
character of the building from the interior and exterior. The steel box is
cantilevered out toward the street, pushing the bikewall toward Bellevue Way to
further emphasize the articulation of the steel box and CMU, while also
establishing the primacy of the bicycle in the facility.
