PROJECT STORY
The 98th Avenue Office Building is the new headquarters for a private real estate development company in Bothell, Washington. The building organizes surface parking at grade with two levels of offices above, creating a compact footprint that supports flexibility and efficient tenant layout. Interior spaces emphasize daylight access through large glazing, complemented by exposed structural elements that give the circulation and work areas a straightforward, utilitarian character.
A steel-and-glulam staircase anchors the primary entry sequence and connects occupants to the rooftop deck, employee lounge, and executive amenities. High-performance triple-pane glazing and insulation levels exceeding code contribute to reduced energy use, improved comfort, and long-term operational value. Completed in Spring 2021, the project reflects a balance of design clarity, durable material choices, and a pragmatic approach to construction and building performance.
