888 Bellevue
In order to bring pedestrian scale to Bellevue’s 600’ long super blocks, ground level façade setbacks and building breaks allow site porosity and landscaping to humanize the streetscape experience of this high-rise residential tower.
ABOUT the project
Responding to a newly developing street corridor, the landscape incorporates related plant materials from adjacent projects to strengthen the pedestrian and vehicular experience. At-grade and second level terrace landscaping combine to extend textural and seasonal interest upwards onto the building.
The building’s port cochere, with granite entry drive and lobby drop off, frames a view into a neighboring, mature tree canopy creating a wonderful backdrop for arrivals.
The roof terrace accentuates resident activities, providing outdoor lounging, fire tables, weatherized event ‘gazebo’, and views from the building to the distant landscape.
