The 1310 east union lofts are located on the
east edge of the Pike-Pine neighborhood. This was Dunn & Hobbes’
first new construction project, completed in 2001. It was designed
by the Miller|Hull
Partnership, winners of the 2003 AIA National Firm of the Year
award. The engineers were Swenson
Say Faget and the general contractor
was Turner Constuction's Special Projects Division. The project
is uniquely scaled to a site that is smaller than most single-family
lots in Seattle. It incorporates eight open-plan live-work units,
each with roll-up window walls, as well as a street-level retail
unit. Its distinctive steel-and-concrete design won numerous local
and national AIA awards and the project has been featured in a number
of national publications. Sustainability features include a stacked parking system, common gas-fired hot water and hydronic heating systems and natural ventilation.
