Dedicated to the practice and rituals of the Smokehouse faith, this multi-purpose event space accommodates the congregation's gatherings and ceremonies, receiving guests from the region's larger Smokehouse community.
Drawing on our long partnership with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, our design team gained insights into the Tribe's vision and goals for this project through interviews with Tribe members and research into the traditional form and history of the longhouse. This groundwork ensured that the design is appropriately scaled between individual and communal use and sensibility. The design addresses the faith's universal values of communal gathering and sharing, while respecting its culturally specific requirements, such as a dirt floor, wood-based heating, and the use of locally sourced materials.
Peeled log construction and a long, gabled roof are referential to the traditional longhouse structures of the Southern Salish peoples. Cedar columns stand sentinel in the ceremony rooms, connecting the congregants to their heritage.
The dining hall forms the heart of the building. Together, the spaces of the Smokehouse channel the feelings of those who are in it and respect that which is not visible.
This project was recognized with: Wood Design Awards, Citation (2015) | AIA Seattle Honor Awards for Washington Architecture, Award of Merit (2014) | Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc., Excellence in Construction Awards, Institutional Category (2014) | AIA Northwest and Pacific Region (NWPR) Design Awards, Merit Award (2014) | WoodWorks National Design Awards, Traditional Use of Wood, Citation (2014)
