West Main

This model represents the joint design work of Compton Design Office and Graphite Design Group for Vulcan Real Estate's West Main mixed-use development in Bellevue, WA. This project is an example of two distinct design studios - each with unique perspectives and experiences - coming together in a single, collaborative effort. The West Main project also explores themes of "Junction" by examining how current and historic patterns of flow and movement can be reflected in a contemporary urban campus solution. The former "flow" of Meydenbauer Creek - that once traversed the site through forests and later fruit orchards - is made manifest in the public spaces, circulation on site, and ultimately the architectural language of the three-tower ensemble.
