What a delightful combination! Take an existing 1914 landmark building that housed a commercial laundry until 1950 and create 25 lovely tall-ceiling lofts. Each one provides the kind of light and space that brings out the best of artistic efforts. During the 2000 renovation, Driscoll Architects and U-Arc Design exposed the brick interiors, highlighted the oak beams and worked hard to retain the charm and history while adding modern finishes. They also received a green honor award by AIA, and the Built Smart certification by Seattle City Light.

Belltown Lofts located on the corner of Western and Bell also includes a second new building that compliments the classic brick structure and houses 33 traditional flat 1 and 2 bedroom units. There are some penthouses as well. Floor plans range from 787 to 1,580 square feet. A rooftop terrace with a Japanese Zen garden and a gallery style lobby entrance completes the benefits.

The project is centered on a courtyard featuring bamboo, a fountain and a reflecting pool.
