Waterfront Seattle

Schematic models and drawings explore how a pier and floating pool could extend public access to Elliott Bay.

Design challenge
How can physical models and sectional studies test new forms of waterfront access?
My role
Contributed schematic design, physical models, drawings, visualization, and presentation material at Schemata Workshop.

Models, drawings, and renderings document the Pier 62/63 and pool-barge schematic proposal, rather than an as-built pool. View evidence ↓

These studies formed part of the schematic design for Pier 62/63 and a proposed pool barge on Seattle’s waterfront. A gangway and floating dock connect the barge to the pier, giving visitors a place on the water from which to look back toward the city.

The proposal separates the barge from the pier to limit the combined area of shadow over the water. An open circulation spine connects the pool facilities, while a translucent bathhouse enclosure maintains views through the vessel. The barge’s dimensions also respond to the clearance of the Ballard Locks, allowing relocation for maintenance or alternative programming.

Working with Michael Mariano, John Feit, and Emily Woods during 2013–2014, I contributed design ideas, presentation graphics, physical models, renderings, and design drawings. The work shown represents the schematic proposal.

Pier 62/63

Schematic pier studies include circulation, furnishings, the raised walkway, and program components. Renderings show the proposal.

Pool barge

Schematic pool-barge plans, assembly diagrams, and proposed public spaces.
