Decommissioned Aircraft Office Buildings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The WB1200 Stewart in Seattle Features a Suspended 747

— April 4, 2022 — Art & Design
The WB1200 Stewart towers are an upcoming architectural project in Seattle that will focus on an eye-catching design that's incorporated with an unexpected detail between the twin skyscrapers.

The 48-story high-rise builds are characterized by their wavy appearance on the exterior, while the triangular shape of the land below allows for ample retail. The pinnacle of the design features a decommissioned Boeing 747 suspended between the towers that would function as usable space as well as a focal point for the courtyard below.

The WB1200 Stewart towers are the work of real estate development firm Wetsbank in partnership with Tokyo-based architecture firm OSO with design done by Henriquez Partners Architects. The towers are slated for completion at the end of 2022.
Trend Themes
1. Aircraft Building Conversions - Opportunity for architects and real estate developers to repurpose decommissioned airplanes for commercial spaces and iconic designs.
2. Vertical Use of Space - Opportunity to create unique office spaces and increase real estate value by incorporating suspended objects between skyscrapers.
3. Retail Embedded in Architecture - Opportunity to design buildings that incorporate retail space in unique and unexpected ways, such as using the triangular shape of a lot for retail below wavy skyscrapers.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Opportunity for architects to showcase creative designs that incorporate repurposed objects and innovative use of vertical space.
2. Real Estate Development - Opportunity for real estate developers to increase the value of their properties by incorporating unique and iconic designs that draw attention and tenants.
3. Retail - Opportunity for retailers to capitalize on unconventional spaces, such as those found underneath decommissioned airplanes and within unique architectural designs.
