Situated on a corner site in the commercial core of Madrona, Pike Station addresses each street with new ground level work/commercial spaces. Creating greater density with 7 new dwelling units, the project strives to become an exemplary sustainable community for its residents and the neighborhood. The project seeks to achieve the goals established in the Cascadia Region Green Building Council’s Living Building Challenge.
The three-story L-shaped building is pushed to the sidewalk’s edge facing 34th Ave. and E. Pike St. to enhance the pedestrian friendly nature of the Madrona business district. This orientation creates an interior live/work/parking courtyard that allows south light and space into the courtyard and live/work units. Each unit has a 500+ sq. ft. retail space opening onto the sidewalk with roll up doors into the courtyard. The two floors above are 2 bedroom, 1.5-bath lofts with large windows and an open floor plan. Each unit has a semi-private rooftop deck and gardening area. The property owner, an artist himself, seeks to create a community of artists, artisans, therapists, and architects to be part of this project.
The project seeks to return the landscape to pre-development standards where financially feasible. This is accomplished through increased groundwater recharge with permeable paving and native, drought tolerant plantings. Rooftop gardens provide individual green space and planting area. Each unit is pre-designed for photovoltaic installation above stair penthouses. Reduced heating and cooling loads are achieved through a combination of energy efficient wall and fenestration systems and passive stack ventilation. Necessary irrigation water is collected from the roof decks, after filtration through green roofs, and stored in underground cisterns. These cisterns also service rooftop irrigation and fill day tanks to be used for toilet fixtures and laundry appliances. All greywater from each unit will be sent through filtration planters surrounding the courtyard.
