This new mixed-use development in Seattle preserves three brick factory structures, adapting and expanding them into distinctive, high-performance buildings, featuring unique spaces, from offices to apartments.
For this ambitious project, architects NBBJ incorporated a range of sustainable-design solutions to enhance indoor environmental quality, including a system of automated external venetian blinds from Nysan Solar Control, a Hunter Douglas company. By blocking sun before it enters the building, they block thermal gain far more efficiently than internal systems.
To fine-tune natural lighting, occupants can adjust the Nysan blinds as they wish. But if left untouched, the shades manage daylight automatically, balancing the amount of natural light that enters with the need to also control heat gain and glare.
