Two Union Square Repositioning
Category
Redevelopment/Renovation of the Year
Description
At 30 years old, Two Union Square remains a significant icon in Seattle's skyline. To meet the needs of the city’s most innovative tenants and adapt to the evolving nature of work that is moving beyond designated offices into community spaces — the project team repositioned the public spaces in Two Union to create a design that is boldly current, incorporates design complexity in fabrication techniques and is centered on the human experience.
