SSF is teaming with BuildingWork on Metropole a historic preservation located in the Pioneer Square Preservation District, the Metropole Building project is the adaptive reuse of a historical gem as the home for nonprofit organizations that serve or are led by communities of color. BuildingWork and WG Clark worked with the owner, Satterberg Foundation, to restore the original building and create a two-story addition at the south end, resulting in a facility that provides office space for eight nonprofits, a 1500 SF rooftop penthouse, and a daycare center. SSF designed a seismic bracing system to preserve the facade while providing an interior structure for a modern building.📷 : Renderings by BuildingWorkArchitect: BuildingWorkOwner: Satterberg FoundationContractor: WG Clark

Happy Preservation Month! Historic preservation is some of our favorite work, and 1617 Boylston is a perfect example of why! It is an adaptive reuse of a 1921 auto mechanic and printing shop for three levels of creative office space. SSF teamed with Graham Baba Architects to restore this 14,900 SF historic building while preserving its original architecture and fixtures where possible. Along with a seismic retrofit, the renovation includes exposed timber framing, new braced frame elements, and opening up the ceiling to showcase the timber roof trusses. https://lnkd.in/gcX_5CDx📸: LARA SWIMMER PHOTOGRAPHY & Renderings by Graham Baba ArchitectsArchitect: Graham Baba Architects Contractor: Dovetail General Contractors

SSF's project with BuildingWork 760 Aloha won NAIOP Washington State’s Redevelopment/Renovation of the Year Award for 2023. “The office conversion project is an adaptive reuse of a 1930s paint manufacturing facility into a six-story office and retail building. The design is a juxtaposition of old and new— paying homage to history through architecture, highlighting the heavy, load-bearing concrete walls and columns of the original structure while contrasting them with a four-story addition enclosed in a glass curtain wall facade. A side-core design with an active stair leads to a rooftop deck.” – NAIOPThank you to our partners, and congratulations to everyone involved in this prestigious honor! 📷: Doug ScottOwner:
