AE Interests: High-rise condominium with nature present throughout the ground floor. Large arcs carve into the building according to the view corridors of adjacent buildings. These cutouts reveal the wood pattering beneath and give immediate access to outdoor spaces for every unit. Vertical facades made of glass, opaque aluminum, and grille panels reflect and filter the Pacific Northwest light.
