1150 Eastlake Ave

In Progress

Nov 23

Written By Gensler

Architect: Gensler
Installer: Permasteelisa Group
Location: Seattle, Washington

VS1 was selected for two facades on the new 1150 Eastlake Avenue, Seattle development designed by Gensler. Both scopes are 21-foot clear spans of curved glass which are supported by the 10-inch heavy VS1 mullion. Construction will begin in 2022.

The first facade is a street-level lobby welcoming visitors and employees to the new lab and tech office space, and the second is an inset wraparound facade enclosing the entire seventh floor.

Serpentine walls are readily accommodated using standard VS1 components. VS1 enables designers to achieve convex and concave forms at excellent value compared to conventional curtain wall technologies. Other examples of VS1 serpentine walls include a 27' facade on the recently completed AHN Cancer Center, a 30' facade on the Good Shepherd Hospital, and a multistory facade that transitions to a rooftop handrail on the Hiscox Building.

Testimonial from Geoffrey Diamond, Design Director & Senior Associate at Gensler

“Franz Safford, and the entire team at Innovation Glass, represent everything we look for in a partner. His engineering acumen is always on display, but never takes a back seat to his passion for great design. I’ve yet to come to him with an idea that he wasn’t willing to help explore, design, and ultimately deliver.”
