This LEED-CI Gold renovation of a 1922 former industrial warehouse in south Seattle served as a new auto sale and service facility for Stadium Nissan of Seattle, and featured Nissan's new electric car, the Leaf. The space included an auto-showroom, retail area, service and waiting areas, service bays and back of house.
The design minimized alterations to the building envelope and focused on an interior design that maximized efficiency while establishing an aesthetic in line with the owner's vision and sustainability goals. Materials from the original space were reused, including interior wood siding, existing fire doors, and furniture from the previous dealership. A steel-clad "box" contained office and administrative functions. Finish materials were left raw, including wood, steel, and concrete. Energy-efficient lighting and heating systems were used, and the space was ventilated with oversize fans and overhead doors that fully open the space to the street.
In my role as Project Architect I was involved in developing the overall concept and carrying this concept through in construction detailing. I oversaw construction administration and was the point person for addressing architectural/structural conflicts/questions that arose on site.
