Board and Vellum architects designing own new home on 15th Ave

Capitol Hill architecture firm Board and Vellum has an intriguing project to design — its new 15th Ave E office.

Principal Jeff Pelletier tells CHS his firm is moving into the former credit union building on 15th Ave E joining Seattle Area Support Groups and Community Center upstairs.

“It’s just a great speed,” Pelletier said of the firm’s plans to stay on 15th Ave. “It’s Capitol Hill but a little calmer, quieter.”

Pelletier said many of the company’s 19 architects also live nearby. Meanwhile, the parking lot adjacent their new building is destined to be home to a new four-story apartment development.

Board and Vellum designs residential and commercial projects. They’ve been working out of the 15th Ave E building also home to Sur 16 and Dance Underground.

Their new office will fill the ground floor of the former Salal Credit Union. Pelletier said to expect a bright and white space with reclaimed furniture that appeals to the residential clientele that are such a big part of their work. You may have also seen Board and Vellum’s designs nearby inside Ada’s Technical Books.

Upstairs, SASG has moved in and is back to work supporting community groups focused on HIV issues and other recovery assistance like addiction after 26 years nearby in the Dunshee House. The old house, in the meantime, was purchased and is slated for demolition and redevelopment as townhouses. Maybe the future residents will put Board and Vellum to work designing their living spaces.
