11th Ave NW Street End Park
Project Statement:
Working in collaboration with Seattle Department of Transportation Steet End Program and the Ballard community, the Design/Build studio worked to renovate a street end site in the heart of Ballard’s industrial corridor. The project involved creates high quality aquatic and upland habitat, integrates spaces for the community to gather within while enjoying the maritime patterns of the waterfront, and accommodates the industrial business abutting the site. The designs were vetted with the community through open participatory design sessions. The concepts of integrating ecology, supporting healthy social interactions, celebrating history through art, and supporting the economic maritime industry have been seamlessly woven together in the final design.
