Metal Composite Material on a LEED Platinum Project
There are a variety of considerations for specifying architectural building products on any project, everything from aesthetics and structural integrity to cost and environmental friendliness. For the construction of the Stack House apartments in Seattle, metal composite material (MCM) from Citadel Architectural Products Inc. helped meet these goals and were able to play a role in the project receiving LEED Platinum certification.
Stack House Apartments makes up approximately half of the Block 10 project in the South Lake Union District and includes two newly constructed residential buildings. The new apartment buildings are located in the same block as the historic Supply Laundry Building, which was renovated for retail, restaurant and office occupancy. The Supply Laundry Building is flanked by a large stack from its days as a manufacturing plant. That’s where Stack House Apartments get its name.
