The awards began over a decade ago to recognize and learn from the best in sustainable design and promote the importance of sustainable building practices. This year there were 6 winners and 6 honorable mentions awarded for built and unbuilt projects. The Bullitt Center for Sustainable Design and Construction, a project for which we are honored to be involved, was one of the winners. The project, poised to be the world’s first commercial project to meet the Living Building Challenge™, is currently under construction in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Neighborhood. The six-story, 52,000 SF building will be used to promote the most innovative sustainable building technologies and practices, and serve as a regional headquarters for urban sustainability and education. Berger Partnership is tasked with integrating the landscape with the wastewater and stormwater system. We just completed schematic design of the adjacent McGilvra Place renovation project. McGilvra Place is registered and aims to become the first park in the world to achieve Living Building Challenge certification under the Landscape and Infrastructure typology.

If you’re wondering, the orange construction fencing will remain until plants leaf out in the spring to keep well intentioned visitors and dogs from trampling them!

As designers we are eager to design spaces for urban agriculture but found that we lacked the understanding of how to integrate farming into projects in a way that would translate into a viable business model. With a better understanding of the current state of urban agriculture in Seattle, we can help integrate these concepts on projects.
