In Seattle’s First Hill neighbourhood, the Frye Towers stand tall at 33-storeys and are connected by a glass sky bridge on the 31st floor. This unique collaboration with The Frye Museum, designed by Perkins + Will, and developed by Westbank, features an innovative structural solution for the sky bridge, utilizing tensile cables that reduce the seismic joint from eight feet to six inches.
The buildings share six levels of below-grade parking. The tower facades showcase a dynamic use of shoji screens, transforming into gallery walls that display framed artwork from the Frye Museum’s Salon. Residents can slide the screens to interact with the building’s exterior animation.
The development offers breathtaking views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges, while residents can enjoy 32nd-floor amenities, including a solarium, lounge, BBQ area, pool, and deck.
