Registration link in the bio.

We are excited to announce a joint construction tour on May 8th of the Kenmore CLT House by atelierjones. Here is some information about the project and tour.

Project Description: The Kenmore House is a 2-story, 3,200 square foot, 5-bedroom, multi-generational home for a family 7, including 4 children and one grandparent. Inspired by atelier jones’s first foray into mass timber, CLHouse, this home is constructed of cross laminated timber. The exposed wood of the CLT wraps as a tactile shell around the living spaces which subsequently wrap around a warm south and west facing courtyard.

Throughout the house wood takes center stage, celebrated as a material that can be at once nostalgic and forward-thinking.

When: Wednesday, May 8th, 2024
Time slot 1: 3pm to 4pm with 20-minute tours in groups of 10 people Time slot 2: 4pm to 5pm with 20-minute tours in groups of 10 people.

Price: $5 registration fee. Limit attendees to maximum of 3 per company. Please contact [email protected] to be added on the waitlist.

Where: 15221 81st Ave, Kenmore, WA
Driving: likely 50 min drive from downtown Seattle with evening traffic Parking: Extremely limited parking, carpooling is strongly encouraged.

Protective Gear Required: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required to be worn to access the site. There will be NO PPE available to borrow onsite, so participants are required to bring their own: boots, hard hats, vests, eye protection, full length pants.

In the middle of the twentieth century, many architects and commentators in Seattle began to argue that local designers were producing work of consistent quality that could be characterized as “regional”–that is, specifically appropriate to Seattle or to Puget Sound or to the Pacific Coast. From that time, a consensus emerged that many of the residential and small scale institutional buildings designed by local architects could be grouped as works of “regional modernism” or “Northwest regional modernism.” Following the 1970s energy crisis and the rise of postmodernism in architecture, regionalism seemed to enter a period of decline, but it never completely disappeared. Some architects continued to do work that might be called “regional,” but as Seattle became a center of information technology and related industries questions arose regarding whether previous ideas of regional design remained appropriate. In the twenty-first century, with a greater emphasis on problems of climate change, building performance and issues of density and affordability, one might ask if regionalism in design remains relevant.

In this presentation, UW Professor Jeffrey Karl Ochsner FAIA will talk about the history of regionalism in Seattle architecture and will frame a discussion of what regionalist ideas have come to mean today.

(2 AIA CEU will be provided for this Zoom presentation. See account bio for the link to the registration page.)
