Architecture studio LMN Architects works together with landscape studio Field Operations to present an extension to a wood-clad aquarium. The two forces top the space off with a pubic park which also functions as a bridge between the city and the waterfront of Seattle. This project is part of a larger initiative that is working towards rehabilitating the Seattle waterfront which kicked off in 2017.
Partner at LMN Architects, Mark Reddington shares, "The project has been guided by a desire to design a 'waterfront for all' serving the Seattle community. This design has been developed around ideas of creating a network of accessible, inclusive connections linking the city, the waterfront, and the ocean, integrated with interior and exterior experiences of the Ocean Pavilion."
