Developed by Martin Selig Real Estate, Seattle’s Third & Harrison is a new 185,000-square-foot, five-floor office building and home to Holland America Cruise Lines. Perkins+Will’s architectural team envisioned the project as a new, sustainably designed icon for urban professionals to work near the natural wonders the city has to offer. Amenities include plentiful underground parking, vegetated roof terraces, and street amenities such as seating and pocket parks.
The project is located between the high-tech corridor of Elliott Park and the vibrant neighborhood of Lower Queen Anne. “The half-block development is conceived as two glass pavilions – lightly resting on the ground, and linked by a central atrium,” described Perkins+Will’s senior project designer Ed Palushock, AIA, LEED AP BD+C. “To address the extreme topography and engage the neighborhood, there are three different building entries at three different levels.”
