However, the emotional, cultural, and also historic significance of the old church motivated the client and local parishioners to seek alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Working closely with Daniels Real Estate, ZGF Architects looked at numerous design configurations to preserve and celebrate the downtown site while developing a contemporary office building. Ultimately, the church\u2019s preservation and its incorporation into the new development yielded a sustainable solution.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous schemes were initially evaluated for the ability to integrate form, structure, function, and sensitivity to the historic church. A faceted fa\u00e7ade scheme was selected to optimize building height, configuration, and floor-plate efficiency, while responding to the owner\u2019s vision for an iconic addition to downtown Seattle\u2019s skyline. The 69,677-m<sup>2<\/sup> (750,000-sf) high-rise is distinguished by the diagonal steel braces dividing its planes.<\/p>\n<p>An article in our newest sponsored e-book examines how a faceted scheme helped shift the load away from the building core and to the exterior walls, thereby eliminating view-obstructing elements like internal columns and reducing the core size to create more efficient floor plates.
