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.
