The King County Civic Center Master Plan (KC CCMP) project will be the heart of Seattle’s governance and public services. Atelier Ten led the sustainability vision for the masterplan, deploying contextually appropriate solutions, best practices and technologies that honor the place and the natural environment.
King County has articulated climate change related goals and priorities through the King County’s Strategic Climate Action Plan (SCAP). Atelier Ten reviewed the 2015 SCAP, Carbon Neutral Implementation Plan, and 2016-2022 Equity and Social Justice (ESJ) Strategic Plan to inform the goals and priorities developed for King County Civic Center Master Plan project.
Atelier Ten supported Northwest Studio in identifying sustainable development strategies that leverage the scale of the site, and incorporate best practices to address climate change, and create restorative urban spaces. For both the South of Downtown (SODO) and Atlantic & Central Base sites, Atelier Ten developed environmental design strategies, supporting calculations and graphics for operational carbon, embodied carbon, water conservation and reuse to create a vision for sustainability that provides stewardship for the land, resources and creates lasting restorative built environment
