From the time we are little kids, we beg our parents, teachers, friends to tell us a story – it’s how we share the past, create the future, and celebrate the present. For us, interior design is all about telling a story – through space, light, color, and mood, from the curve of a chair leg to the typeface on a menu. Each piece fits together to weave an experience that challenges, inspires, comforts, or delights, and ultimately invites people back for more.

Comfortable, beautiful and highly functional spaces are created by keeping the future resident front of mind, and understanding how they live their life – Do they entertain? Workaholic? Gamer? Solid marketing research and a grounding in spatial relationships, while not always exciting, represent the depth of thought that goes into making a unit home, and an amenity space an inviting extension of a community. Interiors can both foster interaction and bring people together, but also create quiet oases of solidarity.

Weber Thompson’s Interior Design Studio has a long history of creating spaces people want to come home to – whether our architects designed the building or not.

Sunset Electric SE AT TLE, WA

Sunset Electric is a 21st century courtyard building. Expanding on an existing 1926 brick building, this project is a mixed-use residential and commercial structure, wrapped around an open courtyard. The design preserves the original building’s entire masonry façade, paired with a quieter, non-competing frame. Taking cues from the past, the building’s form promotes natural daylighting and passive cooling by organizing a single loaded structure around an open-air courtyard that connects to the pedestrian street.

Before its revitalization, Sunset Electric stood as a marker of Capitol Hill’s changing culture; starting as part of Capitol Hill’s auto shop row, then later shrouded in generations of rock posters and guerilla art. Echoing its history, the lobby features concrete floors, glass walls and heavy metal work reminiscent of a mechanic’s lair. A commissioned piece by Claudius Phaedrus covers a wall, made by layered newspaper much like the building’s former poster art. The artist was inspired by the forest like feeling of the open air courtyard, and created a mural to reflect the feeling of trees, distortion, animals and the “urban jungle.”

A monochromatic palette is seen throughout the building with jolts of electric yellow in the lightning bolt mosaic at the back of the lobby, and marking unit doors. The courtyard and roof deck are populated with furniture featuring low, clean lines in an array of grays with pops of yellow.

Wood details strew the building – bedroom barn doors, kitchen shelves, coat hooks and mailroom details – all made locally by Montana Originals from reclaimed wood from the original building. Units are cleanly designed to take maximum advantage of the oversized windows and through unit ventilations, as many of the units have windows on both the outside of the building and on the courtyard. A light colored palette, simple detailing and flexible spaces allow the tenant to furnish the spaces to meet their needs.

When it opens in 2016, LUMA will be Seattle’s most desirable condominium in Seattle’s most desirable location. Situated just blocks from a brand new streetcar line, it is within walking distance of the heart of downtown and Capitol Hill, has easy access to I-5 and is surrounded by world-class healthcare facilities.

Designed to appeal to the stylish, upscale tastes of the high-end condominium market, LUMA is filled with quality details, mature materials and a bit of drama around each corner. Unexpectedly bold black and white photography is juxtaposed with marble floors in formal patterns. Highly polished light fixtures float in amenity spaces to create pools of light, and slender reveals in ceilings and walls create visual interest while defining spatial transitions.

Connecting residents to Downtown Seattle’s retail offerings and culture and South Lake Union’s recreation and innovation is a primary focus of Cirrus.

The interior spaces are designed with the South Lake Union professional crowd in mind, offering luxe materials in a neutral palette with splashes of color. A culturally diverse renter in the prime of their careers, residents of Cirrus enjoy cooking, entertaining and socializing; they’ve got an eye for refined urban style. Throughout, high-touch materials calm and soothe the senses at the end of a long day at the office or a night on the town. The timeless common spaces and unit finishes make Cirrus an urban home, not a generic rental.

South Lake Union High-Rise ApartmentsSE AT TLE, WA

In South Lake Union, Seattle’s three city grids converge to create a dynamic sub-neighborhood: Denny Triangle. This pocket is home to organic grocers, bars, swanky restaurants, office towers, and urban remnants of the former industrial history of the area. The idea of a prism, which refracts and separates light, takes the concept one step further. The team has woven these concepts into the cohesive backbone threaded through this project’s interior spaces.

The two-story lobby features a monumental metal and limestone fireplace, a curving stair to the leasing office and lounge, and a custom sculptural light fixture, creating a focal point from inside and out. The incredible amenity package fills two floors and includes everything from a fitness center to an outdoor soaking pool.

The elegantly neutral color palette includes champagne metal, crema limestone and rift-cut wood, with enlivening bursts of color and pattern on floors, walls, ceilings, and furniture to entice a fashion-forward, design-savvy target market.

Radius ApartmentsSE AT TLE, WA

It doesn’t get more central than South Lake Union, the booming tech and business hub of Seattle. The convergence of the bustling city with the sparkling waters of Lake Union was the primary design focus for the project, both interior and exterior, and inspired the building’s name: Radius.

Terrazzo laid in an arrangement of segmented rings fills the entire floor of level one, from the lobby to lounge and theater room, creating continuity between spaces. A curved concierge desk greets residents and visitors and subtly guides them through the space.

Materials mimic waves rippling along the water’s surface, create bold strips of light, and enhance bold graphics to create a play of light and texture, enhancing the neighborhood’s growing urban environment but through a natural filter. SERVICES Architecture Interior Design Landscape Architecture

Pike Motorworks NorthSE AT TLE, WA

Pike Motorworks offers a high-quality, luxury apartment building with a unique, historic aesthetic to the Pike/Pine district of Capitol Hill. Two buildings, at a total of 15,000 sf, make up this nearly full-block project. A pedestrian corridor runs between and opens up to form a grand, open-air courtyard plaza at the core.

On the ground floor, a collection of eateries, bars, and shops will be housed in the original BMW showroom, the facade of which has been maintained, celebrate the building’s auto-row era roots. This character structure informs the aesthetic throughout the building, harkening back to an era when attention to detail was the norm.

Floor-to-ceiling windows draw ample daylight into interior spaces, and spacious floor plans with reclaimed timber details can be found throughout. Amenities and common areas include the use of bold super graphics and historic-inspired materials to create a palette best described as modern grunge. Strategically placed neon signs flash cheeky song lyrics, and bold, modern artwork completes the finish package meant to appeal to young professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, and other urban dwellers looking for someplace a little bit different to call home.

The Whittaker ApartmentsSE AT TLE, WA

West Seattle native Jim Whittaker was the first North American to summit Mt. Everest in 1963. His life’s motto, then and now: “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.” His life and vibrant personality inspired this design.

Pacific Northwest inspired materials – Douglas fir, river rock – pair with rich, muted tones of olive, rust, and iron; the harmonious interior embraces residents the same way a mountaintop lodge might after a long, snowy climb.

The light-filled, double-height south lobby is open and airy; its vertical-cable open stair leads to an upper level wine bar and lounge, which overlooks the lobby and the surrounding neighborhood.

To promote connection with the outdoors, the project also features a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike repair kitchen, pet wash, and storage for outdoor gear such as tents, skis, and kayaks. And the building’s podium-level courtyard features a thoughtfully designed indoor/outdoor mix of seating areas, “campfire” pit, outdoor movie area, water features, and the courtyard glass and steel “jewel box” structure.

Second + PineSE AT TLE, WA

Just a block from Pike Place Market, this cutting-edge modern project is the city’s missing piece as it stretches from the downtown core to the changing Seattle waterfront. At 40 stories tall, Second + Pine will rise 440 feet, making it the fourth tower of this height in Seattle to be designed by Weber Thompson.

Bold design moves on the exterior, such as pre-cast slabs deceptively hovering above delicate glass, have transferred to the interior design as well. A large wood-slat soffit suspends above the lobby reception desk, itself comprised of large concrete and onyx slabs. Bird-like pendants swoop down from the double-height ceiling, evoking the streetscape where the city meets the waterfront. Residents can meet and mingle in the podium level amenity spaces, which feature a large resident lounge, billiards room with bar, fitness/yoga center, multimedia lounge, outdoor dog run with owner lounge and pet spa area. The fully amenitized roof deck offers two oversized club rooms, with show kitchen, billiards, large-group dining, fireplaces, and bar seating, along with direct access to the exterior deck and its expansive 360-degree views over the city and Elliott Bay.

4730 California SE AT TLE, WA

West Seattle is all about big city amenities with a small town vibe and that’s exactly what residents of 4730 California Avenue will enjoy. At seven levels, this 88 unit mixed-use building has got it all, but if that’s not enough, the surrounding neighborhood offers all a person could want and then some.

Our designers found themselves drawn to the concepts of the shoreline while conceptualizing the interiors for this project. They’ve found the perfect combination of a modern nautical-inspired design that never approaches kitschy. Rich textures and natural materials such as reclaimed wood contrast high-shine finishes and other utterly modern details to strike a perfect balance.

Amenities are in no short supply at 4730 California, which includes a fitness room, rooftop deck, and generous lobby, lounge, and gathering spaces. A mid-block pedestrian walkway provides easy access to street-level retail and the shops, restaurants, and stores that abound in the immediate neighborhood.

Urban Core Luxury ApartmentsSE AT TLE, WA

In Seattle’s edgiest downtown neighborhood, there are few luxury apartment options. The vibrant area is close to shopping, dining and is an ideal place to call home for those who work in South Lake Union or First Hill. This project is the high-end living solution the neighborhood has been waiting for.

Setting a new standard of luxury, this apartment project will feature an urban minimalist interior that highlights the work of local and international artists, uses highly curated finishes, and contains spacious units with targeted amenities.

The lobby, with fully staffed concierge desk, will feature a lavish wool rug set atop a highly polished concrete floor. Wood paneling clad a modern fireplace and leather accent tiles will adorn accent walls to add a touch of opulence.

Many of the spacious units will feature six-piece baths, integrated storage, and casework closets and European kitchens and baths. Custom LED lighting will add sparkle and drama to the high-end residences.

An urban-focused apartment building with amenities to match, The Post’s design translates from inside out, show- casing an elegant and modern tower design with curb appeal on all four sides.

The interior design takes advantage of the building’s urban flavor, using exposed concrete ceilings and mechanical systems, alongside high-touch finishes like laminate flooring and copper screens. The building amenities, including a clubroom, games room, rooftop sky lounge, and expansive roof deck, are an active extension of the individual units and a means for fostering community.

Two six-story structures on the site will contain 203 residential and three live/work units. Although two distinct buildings, residents from either will enjoy shared amenities including a game room, lounge, workout room, and gathering spaces.

Supergraphics containing historic and modern imagery are interspersed among curved walls and elemental materials such as concrete and wood – representing the junction of old and new; past and present. Rustic wood details, luxuriously upholstered furniture and heavily textured materials combine to create cozy yet modern areas for lounging and relaxing.

A la Mode Pies SE AT TLE, WA

It is hard to get much smaller than Chris Porter’s 853 sf pie shop; especially when it houses a pie café, coffee bar and full commercial kitchen. Designing this space became an exercise of how much stuff can fit into a tiny footprint, and still leave room for the hungry hoards.

The result is a small, yet open, airy space with a sense of history; a place that reflects the homey nature of pie, without being campy. A framed wire-glass window wall allows patrons to watch the artisan bakers at work in the theater kitchen, while open transom panels at the top encourages the heady scents of baking pie to envelope the entire space. The designers used durable, timeless materials that evoke a sense of history, but also feel clean and modern: white subway tile, concrete floors, end-grain walnut countertops and tables, period lighting, diamond-pattern wire glass, wood lath textured walls and a hand chalked menu board.

Wherever possible, environmentally responsible choices were made, dovetailing with A la Mode’s commitment to using locally sourced and organic ingredients in their pies.

Le CavisteSE AT TLE, WA

Take one step into this splendid, petite wine bar, and you’ll feel transported to a bistrot-à-vins tucked down a Parisian alleyway. Offering a broad range of French wines, the selection is picked to faithfully represent their regional character.

Weber Thompson’s designers helped Sommelier David Butler realize his vision – which was inspired by the understated elegance of wine shops and bars he’s visited in his years of travel.

Simple chalkboards hang from copper chains to display the day’s selections. The pale blue-green walls envelop guests with their calming embrace. At night, flickering candles and rustic, bare-bulb chandeliers give the room a warm glow, and reinforce the feeling of an intimate wine cellar, the bar’s namesake.

At Le Caviste, no detail is untouched. From the mis-matched silverware and understated bistro tables and chairs, to the wattage of the bulbs in the chandeliers – there are 102 of them, 25-watts each – every element has been considered, but none of them distracts. Together, they melt into one simple, urbane experience.

Upon entering Rival Fitness, multiple activities are within sight. Choose what you are interested in doing, and go for it.

This is exactly what Rival Fitness owner Jim Mahan imagined when he conceived of his vision for this Capitol Hill gym. Here, members don’t so much exercise as they are simply active. In the “Playground,” monkey bars run between two concrete columns allowing for a little recess time while also getting in a workout. Underneath, a field of sports turf does double duty – making life easier on the knees while also reinforcing the idea of play.

The spare, industrial space is marked by bright white elements that evoke a clean, modern sensibility while reflecting natural light pours in. Pools of directed LED lights fall on equipment and open areas and dim to allow for varying light levels depending on the activity.

Ian MenswearSE AT TLE, WA

Since 2002, Belltown store Ian has been offering lux, modern clothing from some of the best contemporary and independent fashion designers in the US and abroad. The store is unique in that the full line of each designer is available through the seasons, which gives customers a chance to learn about the concepts and vision behind the apparel they purchase and the designers they support.

Weber Thompson’s interior design team held this in mind when they designed the store’s new retail space on the ground floor of Viktoria. Previously located just a few doors down, Ian’s owners were eager to build out a fresh shop in a brand new building.

The resulting design is bright and airy and utilizes elements from the previous shop. Fixtures were reconfigured and reworked to fit the layout of the new store. A central counter and fitting room element made of reclaimed wood provides a visual anchor in the center of the room. Lightly finished, the wood is paired with raw steel, clean white walls, and a polished concrete floor. This combination of materials reinforces the understated, yet modern aesthetic that keeps Ian’s customers coming back for more.

Talking Rain HeadquartersPRESTON, WA

Almost every surface in Talking Rain’s new offices is available in case inspiration strikes. Glass walls double as pseudo white boards, ready for notes; desks have both tackable and white board panels; in the marketing office, a central layout work space for building store displays help hone how the product is marketed. In the conference room, a large, interactive touch screen supports conferencing and brainstorming, while barn doors made of reclaimed wood slide away to reveal a presentation wall.

The offices are carved out of the company’s existing warehouse, and act as a palette to inform other Talking Rain offices as they are renovated. The aesthetic is a highly industrial flavor with exposed concrete floors, an open web joist structure and reclaimed wood coexisting with translucent elements evoking the freshness of the brand and culminating in focal points such as the decorative light fixture in the Research & Development area that recall a cascade of water drops – talking rain, if you will.

Weber ThompsonSE AT TLE, WA

Weber Thompson’s Offices are probably the best offices anyone here has ever worked in. Fresh air, natural daylight, climate control and a solid connection with the outside all work together to make this a great place to spend 50 percent of our waking week.

As designer and client, we were faced with the rare challenge of creating our own ideal, creative work environment that reflected our culture and gave us a chance to try out some sustainable strategies. We took a collaborative approach and after a series of intensive meetings, an employee survey and focus groups with staff members, consultants, city representatives and owners, it was determined that the office (and by extension, the building) would feature passive ventilation, extensive daylighting, sustainable materials and would aim for LEED certification.

Staff members were included throughout the design process and were able to offer their opinions on everything from storage needs to creative re-use for salvaged materials from the construction site. The result is a feeling of ownership and pride from those of us who occupy it and breathe its fresh air daily.

Hansen BelyeaSE AT TLE, WA

A tiny, tiny office demands total flexibility. For this boutique marketing strategy and design firm, our designers were able to fit six desks, a kitchen, layout space, conference table, screening area, and ample storage all in a space that is under 1,500 sf. On top of that, about 50 percent of the walls are floor-to-ceiling windows, so there was little space to design against the walls and mitigating glare was a high priority.

The result is an open, airy space, with high, white, exposed ceilings. Specifically placed furniture creates different rooms within the space, but allows for re-arrangement. Cleverly designed storage space hides everything in plain sight while long view lines mean collaborative elements can be viewed comfortably from various spots throughout.

The ground floor doors open to a branding wall that delineates between public and private space, an important consideration as the office door is the first thing viewed when entering the courtyard from the street.

The large open conference room has a full operable wall that allows large events to spill out into the lobby area. A separate, flexible workspace encourages collaboration among staff members, with an open breakout space for team work sessions. Tucked behind the tiny kitchen, a private conference room allows for smaller internal meetings and private conversations.
