An expansive campus featuring two residential towers above four office buildings, Vulcan’s Lakefront Blocks is now Google’s new home in Seattle. The development combines generous amenities and public space with nearly 640,000 square feet of class A office space and 150 residential units, all with unrivaled views of Lake Union and the downtown skyline.The buildings pay homage to the history of this working waterfront, evoking the forms of linear piers, stacked lumber palettes, multi-hued shipping containers and gently curving sails.All of this is just steps away from the diverse offerings of South Lake Union, the Denny Triangle, Eastlake, the South Lake Union trolley, transit and cycle path networks, Chandler’s Cove, The Allen Institute, the Wooden Boats Wagner Education Center and MOHAI. Lakefront is at the center of it all.
Vibrant colors and layered textures further accentuate building forms and public spaces. This design vocabulary knits the Lakefront Blocks into the underlying urban fabric of the site, responding to its rich history, dynamic context, and proximity to the Lake in the heart of the city.
Connection: the goal of this project was to tie in the greenery of the lakefront and park feeling on the north end, merged with urban elements present on the south side. Working with Hewitt landscaping, Graphite coordinated the integration of the buildings to take advantage of multiple viewpoints and sightlines, while enhancing greenspaces to blend and transition smoothly with the adjacent park and walking traffic zones in the neighborhood.
