Tommer Building

Quantum Consulting Engineers provided the structural engineering and construction support for this four-story, 25,000 square foot mixed-use space located near downtown Ballard. The Tommer Building used heavy timber construction along with exposed concrete walls and steel beams to create this modern Scandinavian design, including access to natural light with its large panel windows. With sustainability and community in mind, this building includes bike storage, flexible floor plates for custom layouts, a partial green roof, and a spacious roof deck with views of the city

Morrow Apartments

Greenwood, Seattle

Quantum Consulting Engineers provided the structural engineering and construction support for this 7-story mixed use building in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle. The Morrow has a variety of floor plans ranging from studios to one- and two- bedroom apartments. With sustainability in mind, this 141-unit mixed-use building has wide range of amenities including electric car charging stations, bike storage rooms and a rooftop deck with views of the city. Commercial and retail space are located along Morrow Lane on the ground floor.

The structure consists of five stories of wood framing over 3 levels of concrete slab, including the at-grade structural concrete slab and grade beam system, all supported by drilled concrete piers.  This was required due to the thick layer of peat located under the site.
