Located in the Admiral District of West Seattle, the Orion Building brings 14,000 square feet of high quality, sustainably constructed dental/office space to the California Avenue S.W. business core. In the building's design, the Commercial Group has emphasized streetscape compatibility to complement and enhance the pedestrian environment along California Avenue, filling in a "missing tooth" and continuing the cadence along of the sidewalk with street trees, overhead canopies, and pedestrian's called signage.
A prominent weathering steel feature, designed to patina with age, organizes the eastern, glass facade, providing visual interest and building identity while serving as a contemporary interpretation of historic architectural cornices. To the west, the facade defers to its residential neighbors, with smaller scaled windows featuring architectural sun shade elements and a vibrant terra cotta accent color to brighten the base.
In keeping with our commitment to sustainability, the project will feature "deconstruction" of the existing duplex structure on the site, in lieu of traditional demolition, specification of durable, energy efficient systems / materials, and incorporation of a green roof. Our goal is LEED Silver certification.
