Owner: Madrona Plaza, LLC
Architect: Decker Architects
Completion: June 2000
Charter worked closely with structural engineers to design a system
to accommodate sub-floor routing of mechanical and electrical systems;
maximizing ceiling heights and allowing the owner to add a third
story within height limitations.
The three-story commercial building is constructed over an underground
cast-in-place concrete garage with a post-tensioned slab. The structure
above the slab is framed structural steel with metal stud infill.
The footprint stretched from lot line to lot line, requiring extra
shoring of the foundation.
The project is located in a largely residential neighborhood with
an active community council. Charter’s regular project updates
kept the local residents well-informed throughout the duration of
the project.
