1101 Westlake is a former Facebook office building located at 1101 Westlake Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109.
The renovation embraces the vibrant urban character of the Westlake neighborhood while incorporating natural elements that inspire creativity, enhance productivity, and promote well-being. Our architecture and interior design teams worked closely with the owner and engineering consultants to create a refined, warm, and welcoming environment.
Designed to serve the diverse needs of a mixed-use building, the renovated lobby provides an inviting arrival experience for tenants and visitors while strengthening the connection to the surrounding streetscape. The design also creates opportunities for active ground-floor retail, bringing new energy and vitality to the public realm.
