A brand new construction in concerted effort with the City of Lynnwood Master Planner, this two-building multi-family, mixed-use complex with 361 resident units anchored by a central courtyard acts as the epicenter of the northern Puget Sound community. Located in Lynnwood, Washington near the newly constructed Sound Transit Rail station, this property boasts all the amenities you need, nay, you could ever ask for in your very own home. Amenities program and designed include various Co-Working Lounges and Reading Nooks, Premiere Fireside Clubhouse Pavilion, an attached Top Golf Swing Suite, High-end Fitness Center, Games and Media rooms, Dog Grooming Shop, boutique Bike Repair & Storage, and number of Outdoor games and landscaping. The people of this community recharge to then emanate to the surrounding areas from the core of this hearth and truly are the ignition to the robust economy around us.
As lead designer, my scope included, but was not limited to: amenity programming, space planning, unit development and implementation, design development presentations with fully-specified finishes and furnishings (including reoccurring design language of architectural screens), complete permit construction drawings, custom fabrications and shop drawings, original experiential graphic design, and construction management with onsite walks thru installation for TCO.
In the initial concepting, the story of Ember was in response to the in-house architectural language of a central axis of two large buildings creating a hearth or pulse of the wider community, in addition to the grand plan of access to the community to call one’s home. In fact, the branding and design story is what influenced the brand and namesake of the property and that certainly fires me up.
