THE CONNECTOR
The Connector is a mixed-use
housing development located in Rainier Beach, Seattle, Washington. This
building was design to create massive amounts of intermingling and accessibility
between the residence and the community this building inhabits. The first floor
is designed for artists; classrooms and shops are provided to bring the
artistic community to this building while the residential units are scattered
throughout the six connecting structures. This building makes a point to create
fluid movements from structure to structure and from space to space with the
horizonal light wells piercing through the buildings and the wrapping
stairwells carved into the sides of each structure. The Connector wants to
provide accessibility to others throughout this community instead of closing
itself off from the outside world.
