325 Westlake



2. 325 Westlake Residence
One of my favorite stops on the Seattle trip was the 325 Westlake Residence, It is an apartment complex with a art studio in the front of it.  The place was stunning!  If I had the money I would totally live there.  I honestly had no idea that apartments in general could look that amazing.  Before Westlake I had a mental image of apartments that were run down and people only live in them if they truly had too, Westlake shattered that image for me at least.  The most important thing that I learned from the 325 Westlake site visit was that it’s always a good idea to reuse some of the materials if you can, they make beautiful accent pieces.  The Westlake residence is very beautiful and it is located in a great spot with a view of the Space Needle and the EMP.  The importance of human interaction with this space is great it makes you feel .  Not many people live on each floor and they won’t be able to hear the people above them walking because the builders built the floors with some sort of mechanism that allows the sound of footsteps and has them absorb into the ground and not travel down the framing of the of the building.  This stop on our trip was one of my favorites if not my favorite.
