Lakefront Blocks

Graphite Design Group as Architects

An expansive campus featuring two residential towers above four office buildings, Vulcan’s Lakefront Blocks is now Google’s new home in Seattle. The development combines generous amenities and public space with nearly 640,000 square feet of class A office space and 150 residential units, all with unrivaled views of Lake Union and the downtown skyline.

The buildings pay homage to the history of this working waterfront, evoking the forms of linear piers, stacked lumber palettes, multi-hued shipping containers and gently curving sails.All of this is just steps away from the diverse offerings of South Lake Union, the Denny Triangle, Eastlake, the South Lake Union trolley, transit and cycle path networks, Chandler’s Cove, The Allen Institute, the Wooden Boats Wagner Education Center and MOHAI. Lakefront is at the center of it all.
