The Skybox Project
posted by DL Byron on September 06, 2009
How We Spent our Summer Vacation
The Skybox is located in West Seattle with a nature reserve to the East and the Puget Sound to the West. The architectural influences are
- Water, forest, light
- Earth, stone, wood
In Seattle, we want to add as much light as possible and accomplish that with the Clerestory, transom and bay windows.
Purpose
To add functional, living work space to a 50s Rambler.
Concept
A glass, steel, concrete Skybox structure. Based on pre-formed modular structures seen in Girona, Spain and architectural magazines.
Progress
We’re a few weeks from completion and have kept the project mostly private. Sharing it now, as we prepare to move in.
This blog post includes select photos and observations from the project.
Architects
- Bob Swain
- Wesley Pierce
They Skybox is being built by Tanner Construction.
