We know urban
mid-rise.
For over 30 years Weber Thompson has
been designing highly successful mid-rise
multifamily projects within the city’s urban
fabric. We understand the market forces,
city requirements and complicated technical
necessities this type of building demands.
This depth of experience allows us to focus on
the design and craft a high quality building
without busting the budget or schedule.
Most of the mid-rise multifamily projects we
design have a context – they exist within
a community and among buildings that
establish design constraints and opportunities.
What we design are very much neighborhood
buildings.
Design in context, sensitive to the scale and
character of surrounding buildings, will be
essential as your project evolves from planning
to architectural design.

At Sunset Electric, residents are seldom enclosed.
An airy lobby leads to an innovative courtyard,
open to the skies with lush landscaping visible at
every level. In the residences, large windows – in
some units on both the exterior of the building and
facing the courtyard – forge a connection with the
elements. Above, a rooftop deck with wide vistas
of downtown Seattle, Mt. Rainier and Capitol Hill
allows residents to dine and play alfresco.
With such a connection to the outside, the

Crafting a fairly large development around this

advantage of to create a high, transparent passage

structure is a subdued, seven-level building with a

Anchored by placemaking retail, Pike Motorworks

Bernadette Kelly leads Weber Thompson’s Interior Design team. She has
over twenty years of experience in space planning, mixed-use commercial
and residential environments. Restaurants and hospitality design top her
list of favorite project types. For these projects, she believes there is more
of a process in understanding who it is one is designing for, and seeing the
importance of both aesthetics and functionality. For Bernadette, that process
of analysis, problem solving, and collaboration is one of the most enjoyable
aspects of her job.
