PROJECT DESCRIPTION

ADDRESS: 4535 44th Avenue SWDPD PROJECT #: 3014846OWNER: Lofts at the Junction llc.APPLICANT: Nicholson Kovalchick ArchitectsCONTACT: Kurt Andersen

PROJECT PROGRAM

Number of Residential Units: Approximately 27 unitsArea of Residential Uses: Approximately 8,500 sfNumber of Live / Work: Approximately 6 unitsArea of Live/Work Uses: Approximately 2,800 sfNumber of Parking Stalls: Approximately 0Total Area: Approximately 14,600 sfTotal Area Above Grade: Approximatlely 11,300 sf

DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The owner proposes the new construction of an approximately 27 unit residential building, including approximately 3 ground-level live/work units along the building’s 44th Ave SW facade, and 3 ground-level live/work units along the building’s Glenn Way SW facade. The site is within close proximity of frequent transit so does not provide parking on site.

The project team endeavors to reinforce the existing pedestrian scale of 44 Ave SW, while at the same time, increase density and community connectivity of the West Seattle Junction neighborhood. The project will take advantage of its site to maximize views to the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains to the west, and Elliott Bay, Downtown, and the Cascades to the east.

EXISTING SITE

The project site consists of one triangular shaped parcel (338990-0330) located near the intersection of Glenn Way SW and 44th Avenue SW with a total area of 3,770 sf. The project includes the relocation or demolition of one offi ce building currently located on the parcel. The site slopes down gradually from north to south along 44th Ave SW but slopes up from north to south along Glenn Way SW. The height difference between the two streets are approximately 10’ that decreases gradually to the south.

ZONING AND OVERLAY DESIGNATION

The parcel is zoned NC2-40 and is located within the West Seattle Junction Hub Urban Village. This zone continues to the north and south of the site. The area immediately to the west of the site is zoned LR3-RC and the areas east of 44th Avenue SW are zoned NC65. The site is also located within a Frequent Transit Corridor.

NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENTThe project site is located within the West Seattle Junction Hub Urban Village, and the adjacent commercial areas along both California Ave SW and SW Alaska St. The area refl ects the NC zone with an eclectic mix of small offi ce buildings, multi-family apartments and single family homes. There is a bank across 44th to the southeast and the site of the West Seattle Farmers market is directly to the southeast across SW Alaska St. There are several churches and schools in the immediate vicinity, and the relatively new Capco Plaza/QFC and Mural mixed-use buildings are within a few blocks. The site is very pedestrian friendly and within the major West Seattle Junction public transit hub. There are multiple shops, restaurants, cafés and grocery stores all within walking distance of the site.

DESIGN GUIDELINES

Response: The concept will have a strong design concept that is carried throughout the entire building. Materials, colors, and patterns of articulation will be drawn from the surrounding neighborhood context.

C-3 HUMAN SCALEFacades should contain elements that enhance pedestrian comfort and orientation while presenting features with visual interest that invite activity. Response: The project will incorporate street level elements and articulation to enhance the existing pedestrian scale. Architectural elements will be appropriately scaled, will be considered as both tenant and neighborhood amenities.

D-1 PEDESTRIAN OPEN SPACES AND ENTRANCES Pedestrian enhancements should especially be considered in the street frontage where a building setback from the sidewalk. Response: A combination of façade articulation, landscaping elements, and pedestrian open space will be provided at the ground level. The possible use of street art as a means of defi ning and expressing the unique neighborhood character of the Junction is being considered.

D-6 SCREENING OF DUMPSTERS, UTILITIES AND SERVICE AREAS Building sites should locate service elements like trash dumpsters, loading docks and mechanical equipment away from the street front where possible. When elements such as dumpsters, utility meters, mechanical units and service areas cannot be located away from the street front, they should be situated and screened from view and should not be located in the pedestrian right-of-way. Response: Service areas and dumpsters are located below grade and screened from the street

D-7 PERSONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY Project design should consider opportunities for enhancing personal safety and security in the environment under review. Response: The presence of street level live/work provides the opportunity for “eyes on” surveillance. Incorporating facade lighting along the street frontage will further enhance safety along the sidewalk.

E-2 LANDSCAPING TO ENHANCE THE BUILDING AND/OR SITE Landscaping, including living plant material, special pavements, trellises, screen walls, planters, site furniture, and similar features should be appropriately incorporated into the design to enhance the project. Response: The design will provide rooftop decks and plantings as an amenity to the tenants. Planting areas along the facade of the live/work units will provide some privacy screening for the tenants while at the same time serving to soften the building facade and provide visual interest.

RELEVANT DESIGN GUIDELINE PRIORITIES

A-2 STREETSCAPE COMPATIBILITYThe siting of buildings should acknowledge and reinforce the existing desirable spatial characteristics of the right-of-way. Response: Primary pedestrian access to the project will be from the public sidewalk along Glenn Way SW, and will be appropriately scaled to the existing character of the neighborhood. The ground level live/work units are well connected to the street and refl ect the eclectic blend of residential and commercial use found in the neighborhood.

A-4 HUMAN ACTIVITYAn active and interesting sidewalk engages pedestrians through the effective transitions between the public and private realm. Response: The project will have a well articulated building façade that will help to shape the pedestrian environment along 44th Ave SW and Glenn Way SW. Live/Work units along both street frontages will have entries along the public sidewalk, encouraging activity and site permeability, while directional down-lighting will help to enhance security along the street level façade at night.

B-1 HEIGHT, BULK AND SCALE COMPATIBILITYCurrent zoning in the Junction has created abrupt edges in some areas between intensive, mixed-use development potential and less intensive multi-family development potential. In addition, the Code-complying building envelope of NC-65 zoning designations permitted with the Commercial Core would result in development that exceeds the scale of existing commercial/ mixed-use development. More refi ned transitions in height, bulk and scale -in terms of relationship to surrounding context and within the proposed structure itself- must be considered. Response: The proposed building will continue the density expansion within the West Seattle Junction core that has been occurring over the past several years. The scale will be consistent with the multi-family uses already existing in the neighborhood.

C-1 ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXTTo make new larger development compatible with the surrounding architectural context, facade articulation and architectural embellishment are important considerations in mixed-use and multi-family residential buildings. Response: The projects material palette and architectural features will be consistent with and inspiration will be drawn from the West Seattle Junction’s existing architectural context

C-2 ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT AND CONSISTENCYThe use and repetition of architectural features and building materials, textures and colors can help create unity in a structure.

SITE CONTEXT AND DESIGN CUES

The project is located in the West Seattle Junction Urban Village. The character of this area is defi ned by a mix of low-rise multi-family apartments and smaller two and three story commerial buildings fronting the denser development along SW Alaska Street and California Avenue SW. There are a wide variety of commercial amenities available within easy walking distance of the site.

The aesthetic direction of the project seeks to respond to this diverse neighborhood by providing Live/Work units with 13’ commercial store fronts along both street frontages. The facade along 44th is broken into two massings of residential units above the street which refl ect the scale of the existing multi-family developments in the neighborhood. Design cues will be taken from some of the mid century modern buildings in the immediate vicinity.

LANDSCAPE PLAN

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

· Streetscape provides good pedestrian connections at the sidewalk grade · Street trees and planting along 44th Ave. SW provide visual interest and

privacy screening for the Live/Work units while maintaining the necessary clearance from utility lines.

· Two levels of roof decks provide outdoor open space for the building tenants

CHARACTER SKETCHES

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

· 13’ storefronts distinguish the live/work units along 44th Avenue SW and Glenn Way SW.

· Well modulated building massing consistant with the existing scale of the neighborhood

· Street trees and planting areas buffer the live/work units from the street, while street grade entrances and hardscape enhance the commercial viability of the space.

· Clerestory windows at the rooftop allow light to penetrate the interior of the building

· Two rooftop amenities provide open space for the tenants and landscaped areas visible from adjacent multi-story dwellings
