Hello Seattle,

For my final two terms at the University of Oregon, I am working on the design for the new Bullitt Foundation Headquarters on Capital Hill. We are working with Miller Hulll Architects and Point32 in the new design at 1501 E Madison St. The building will also include residential, commercial and retail space. The entire design will meet the Living Building challenge and it is our goal to produce a net-zero building.

I have done a fair amount of research and learned quite a bit from articles online, but I don’t haven’t heard much from residents living in the area. Being that I live in Eugene and can only visit Seattle, I don’t have a good sense of the communities view of the location or what is needed in the neighborhood. So I would like to ask for some honest feedback from anyone with an opinion, or anyone who is just interested in the project.

Do you know about the project? Do you live in the area? What would you like to see integrated into the design (e.g. Community rooms, public spaces, restaurants, urban gardens, etc.)? Have you frequented the bar that is currently on the site and do you have an opinion about its being moved?

Any other suggestions are appreciated!
