PUBLIC47 Architects

At the upper levels of the soon-to-be-completed H on Jackson apartment building, a light blue panel weaves around the facade, contrasting with Seattle’s often grey, misty sky. Angled panels, along with vertical and horizontal bands, frame the floor-to-ceiling windows to create depth to the facade. The vertical projections and blue wedge infill panels are oriented to provide shade from the Southwest sun. To realize this design, PUBLIC47 collaborated closely with the siding contractor and envelope consultant using full-scale mockups to refine complex details into a facade that is both functional and animated.
