This senior housing development in the Eastlake neighborhood features several landscaped decks overlooking Lake Union, creating outdoor living spaces for the residents to enjoy. Build on a slope, the project takes advantage of the terrain to create a dramatic water feature viewed upon entry into the building. Sidewalk-facing planters with integrated seating and large windows connecting the amenity spaces to the public realm create a welcoming pedestrian environment.
