With 34,500 square feet of office space overlooking Magnolia’s ship canal, Salmon Bay Landing captures a maritime quality with its floating form and ship inspired “smoke stack” penthouses. The Commercial Studio has combined an aggressive entitlement strategy with exceptional design aesthetics and responsible green design. The result is a building that promises to be an efficient, beautiful and healthy office environment for its owners.
In keeping with an ongoing commitment to sustainable design, the office designed Salmon Bay with a goal of achieving a U.S. Green Building Council LEED Silver certification. Some of the green design features are:
- The reuse and rehabilitation of previously contaminated site
- Secure bicycle storage and showers for bike commuters
- Parking lot designed with pervious surfaces and” bioswale” wheel stops to reduce runoff and increase infiltration
- Building envelope, lighting and HVAC designed for maximal energy efficiency as well as occupant health and comfort
- Easy to use recycling areas to encourage occupant recycling
- Steel construction ensures maximal use of the recycled and salvaged building materials as well as the ability to recycle waste material created during construction
- Use of low or no VOC paints, flooring and construction adhesives for a healthy environment
- Infloor entryway grates capture dirt and keeps interiors clean
- North facing curtain wall design provides generous day lighting and views without excessive heat gain
We believe these features, and many more not listed, make Salmon Bay Landing a smarter, greener and more desirable building.
