CLARK / BARNES provided design services for the rehabilitation and renovation of the historic Medical Dental Building in Seattle’s Downtown Retail District. Originally constructed in 1925, with a 1950 addition, the building has a unique character that needed to be preserved.
The design brief was to maintain the building as a medical office, but re-position it with a greater focus on retail and the consumer. The renovation included amenities such as shared tenant areas, a new café on the roof of the third floor, and an upgraded lobby with concierge services. The scope also included the renovation of upper floor lobbies, corridors, bathrooms, parking garage improvements, and new exterior signage for clear recognition. The result is a stunning new space with modernised amenities and an enhanced customer experience, that still protects the historic character of the original building.
