An urban infill project set in Seattle, Washington’s ever-changing Pike/Pine neighborhood, award-winning architect Tom Kundig’s 1111 E. Pike draws inspiration from a wide array of sources. Combining an urban industrial feel with sleek modern lines, and communities both professional and residential, 1111 E. Pike is a lively addition to an already bustling part of the city. The multi-purpose project features ground-level retail space, five levels of condominiums, two underground parking levels, and a roof-top garden.

1111 E. Pike is Kundig’s debut boutique condominium project. By emphasizing the importance of natural light, open space, and the simplicity of the building’s materials, Kundig’s design is meant to fit within the neighborhood’s aesthetic while simultaneously making itself known as something to truly behold.

Several nods to the building’s urban setting and the industrial and automotive background that shaped the neighborhood include wide windows and high ceilings, the use of steel at the entrance, and an exterior of panelized siding with a color palette inspired by vintage 1920s automobiles. Each condominium features nine-foot floor-to- ceiling windows and open-plan layouts with a partially enclosed kitchen. Unconventional touches, like a “puzzle” door that slides along the ceiling, allows owners to alter their living spaces as needed.

1111 E. Pike is a prime example of inexpensive living located amidst a busy urban center. The building is market-rate and meets LEED requirements for Development Density, Site Selection, Alternate Transportation, and Storm-water Management.

any idea of what the exterior cladding is? cement board?
yes it is….
There is no visible means of attachment so it’s doubtful its cement board. More than likely, its metal paneling.
Woah Woah Woah WOAH
Kundig and no Cor-ten?
I infinitely like your comment.
Randomizing panel colors is dated and it comes off as simplistic and cheap. Not really a fan of the brow, either. Nice interiors, though!
Fun project to photograph. The interior configurations vary quite a bit from one unit to another, which is really nice. The project has a really nice street presence and fits in really well with the neighborhood.
