Project Summary
Eco lush is a skyscraper hotel designed on a site that is located close to downtown Seattle, adjacent to King Street Station. It is surrounded by commercial office buildings on the east and is placed within walking distance of the stadium on the south. The concept of the building is derived to enhance the movement flow of people in different directions. Usually, luxurious hotels are made private. However, Eco-Lush is designed to welcome everyone. Cafes, bars, the restaurant is provided on the ground floor and first floor, which can be used by train travelers, stadium spectators, and different typologies of people.
Site Analysis
Site/ Form: Commercial Buildings located at east and west side of the site. Stadium on South, King street station located on North. The form of the building is derived from site condition and proportion. The form divides the building at different levels with a clear distinction of public and private spaces. It also solves the current green issue which is there in most urban cities According to the Trust for Public Land Organization, the average dense urban setting contains less than ten percent green space for every seventy thousand acres of land use. This building provides intermediate green space to enjoy the Seattle weather with adding more greenery to the urban façade.
