Eleven Eleven East Pike – From Tom Kundig

You may remember my winter dream home… If not here it is again:

The Delta Shelter is from Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects – actually I keep meaning to do an update on this house. But first let’s look at a new project from Tom Kundig.

Eleven Eleven East Pike is the first condo building from designer Kundig and will be offering a nice high end look and feel but not at a completely unreachable high end price. Here’s a first look at what’s planned for the exterior. Not a bad slice of color for a Seattle structure. It looks great with the weather. Which sounds sort of silly to say. However, having spent most of my life in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California, I can tell you that a splash of color looks awesome on a typical cloudy days.

Eleven Eleven East Pike is going to be located in Seattle’s Pike – Pine triangle neighborhood. There will be twenty-seven 600-1125 square feet homes situated above street level commercial space.
It’s a beautiful building with some nice perks:

• Built Green: Three-star certified, urban infill development, highly walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 98.
• Nine-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors.
• Strategically-placed peepholes at varied heights in the exterior front door and unit entry doors.
• In-unit movable hanging puzzle walls.
• Custom-built “Urban RV” (movable multi-purpose storage and counter top unit designed by Tom Kundig) available for purchase.
• Modernist roof line.

I really like it – it’s a total Northwest building. If you live in the Northwest you know what I mean. If not, well, it’s still a pretty cool structure. The roof line is a stellar touch. Thus far the website for Eleven Eleven East Pike is pretty bare, but with expected occupancy in Fall 2008, you can already register to learn more.
