Wellington Apartments is an existing 22 unit apartment
building on the corner of 16th Ave East and East Mercer St in Seattle. It currently has an existing accessory parking structure to the west of the
property. The proposed project will demolish the parking structure and
replace it with three new loft units above a new parking garage. Each unit has
a large sleeping loft above the kitchen, bathroom and laundry at the apartment
level. The living area takes advantage of the double height space. The thin
floor plate and simple shed form provide each unit with access to good natural
light. High windows provide individuals within the units views to the sky and
maintain privacy from neighboring buildings. The façade expression features a
color range of painted cement panels that match the existing brick so the
new building will fit within the character of its immediate context. The
project is set to begin construction soon.
