Museum House

We see Museum House as an opportunity to build upon First Hill's strong architectural past, while holding a light to the future. The concept for the design is to maintain a museum-like aesthetic running through the veins of a new residential project, creating the architectural expression for the skin of the building as well as animating the surrounding public space. Coupled with one of Seattle's most thoughtful amenity mixes, including a rooftop pool, expansive commercial-grade gym, and jaw-dropping sky bridge, Museum House is sure to impress. Architect Peter Busby of Perkins + Will has created a building that embodies the concept of "creative tension." It consists of two seemingly leaning towers joined by an elegant, thin bridge, suspended 300 feet above the ground. A grand lobby showcases edgy, dynamic art pieces from creators in nearby Capitol Hill, while the two towers reflect inspiration from surrounding architecture. Shifting screens on the building's facade will create a pattern inspired by the placement of framed artwork, allowing residents to interact with the building's exterior animation. Positioned just outside the downtown core in quaint, charming First Hill, Museum House is an urban oasis located within walking distance of Seattle's healthcare nexus, with convenient proximity to South Lake Union's tech hub and the core financial district.
