The Pacific Northwest One Design Regatta (POD), is an annual event that honors the best in sailing. The Seattle-based company designed sailboats, catamarans, and tris. The firm, which has now gone out of business, was founded in 1998 and was one of the largest builders of sailboats in the U.S. The company announced this year plans to build over 800 units, with 270 affordable housing units.
Inaugural Pacific Northwest One Design Regatta took place at Corinthian Yacht Club. The Melges24 fleet will be smaller in size than the 5o5 one and will feature two large courtyards. A 6,477-square foot solar panel will be installed on the roof of the building to meet Enterprise Green Communities standards. This type of energy production will allow the building to produce at least half its electricity from solar energy.
The Northwest One Plan also recommended that mixed-income communities be established. These communities would have a mixture of market-rate and affordable housing. The plan also recommended the protection of over 520 units that were deeply subsist and the creation of nearly 600 market-rate units. The plan also included plans for a public school, recreation centre, parks, and neighborhood library. The highest-priced building has a roof garden with views of the monuments.
The development also contains over 57,000 square feet non-residential space. It will be a mix of community and retail spaces. The overall design reflects the neighborhood and features a number of interior spaces for children and residents. The site will be a gateway between K and North Capitol Streets, which will help revitalize the area. Retail will activate the perimeter. Residents will have the opportunity to enjoy a memorable and unique experience at the restaurant or bar located within the project.
This West Seattle home, built in 1966, was designed to blend into the natural environment. The home is perched high on a cliff and has stunning views of Blake Island, Puget Sound and Vashon Island. Tim Pfeiffer (the homeowners' designer) worked with the homeowners on the interior design of the home. Although this home is beautiful, the original ideas of the homeowners for the space were better than what the architect had in mind.
