Carillon Point Waterfront Condo by Wendy M Lister Inc.

5505 Lake Washington Blvd NE #1D-1E,

Kirkland, Washington

ONE CARILLON POINT This fourteen -home condominium is situated on the Lake Washington waterfront. Each unit has broad views to the lake and expansive exterior decks. The building steps back at each level to create series of large planted terraces. A subterranean garage structure is tucked below the entry level to create a large private garden area on the street side. The exterior massing, which has subsequently been widely emulated in other local developments, utilizes a formal architecture on the street side that transitions to the more casual treatments of decks and railings on the water side. The units were marketed as ‘shell-only’, so that each buyer could customize their home. This involved several ‘what-if’ design studies prior to construction, so that the infrastructure could accommodate several different layout strategies without compromising adjacent build-out schemes.

Scott Allen, project manager. Jim Olson and Rick Sundberg, principal designers.

Olson Kundig Architects Olson Kundig Architects began its creative existence with architect Jim Olson, whose work in the late 1960s explored the relationship between dwellings and the landscape they inhabit in the Northwest. Olson started the firm based on some simple ideas: that buildings can serve as a bridge between nature, culture and people, and that inspiring surroundings have a positive effect on people’s lives. Rick Sundberg joined the firm in 1975, and its commitment to urbanism and civic life became evident as they began designing and developing modern urban buildings in and around Seattle’s national historic districts Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square. In 1996, Tom Kundig joined Olson and Sundberg as an owner, taking the firm to another level of creative exploration and helping it grow into an office with an international reputation. Alan Maskin and Kirsten Murray joined the owners group in 2008, continuing the evolution of the firm and furthering its commitment to the experi ence around architecture, articulated in exhibit design, interiors, and connections to urban and rural landscapes. The firm now numbers over 75 employees. Olson Kundig Architects’ work, including museums, commercial design, academic buildings, exhibit design, interior design, places of worship and residences, often for art collectors, is now worldwide. Our in-house interiors studio, founded in 2000, provides a full range of services including material selection, custom furniture design and purchasing capabilities. The interiors studio continues the long tradition of continuity between architecture and interiors. The office combines the capacity of a large firm with the intensity of a small one. The firm’s commitment to vigorous, critical design review sessions has infused its designers with a shared sense of commitment to every project. The name of Olson Kundig brings attention to the building and commands respect that One Carillon Point merits. Retrieved from: www.olsonkundigarchitects.com/About/FirmHistory 19

HISTORY OF KIRKLAND, WA Back in 1886, Peter Kirk, an enterprising businessman, auctioned off his property and manor in England and headed to America to make a fortune. He found his way to the Pacific Northwest. Like many entrepreneurs in his time, Kirk had big dreams, particularly for the land east of Seattle by the waters of Lake Washington. He thought it was the perfect place to build a steel town to support a mill. Kirk and his business partners built Moss Bay Iron and Steel Works with high hopes of creating the “Pittsburgh of the West.” The steel mill was completed in late 1892, but went under during the Panic of ‘93, the financial crisis that swept the nation in the spring. That economic downturn stopped the steel mill in its tracks. The mill closed without producing any steel. Kirk never did see his dreams come alive; he eventually retired and moved north to the San Juan Islands. But the little city survived the bumpy economy. Instead of steel, Kirkland rebounded by relying on wool milling and ship building. The first wool mill in the State of Washington was established in Kirkland in 1892, producing wool products for Alaska Gold Rush prospectors and for the U.S. military during World War I. Kirkland’s ship building industry began on the Lake Washington waterfront with the construction of ferries. By 1940, Kirkland’s Lake Washington Shipyard was building warships for the U.S. Navy; more than 25 were built during World War II on what is now Carillon Point. The location is now home to a luxury hotel and some of the most creative high-tech companies in the region. Kirkland became the first city on the Eastside in 1888 and eventually became incorporated in 1905. In the early 1900s, Kirkland was the transportation center of the Eastside with ferries transporting commuters and goods. The ferries ran continuously from Marina Park’s city dock to Seattle 18 hours a day. The opening of the Lake Washington Floating Bridge in 1940 signaled the end of the lake ferries. Today, Kirkland is a community of 49,010 people with the region’s only downtown on the waterfront. Retrieved from: http://www.explorekirkland.com/About/History.htm
