연방정부센터 사우스 빌딩 1202는 시애틀 남측에 위치한 기존 웨어하우스를 리뉴얼한 건축물로 연방정부의 다양한 업무수행과 지역주민들의 커뮤니티 활동을 지원하는 복합공간으로 제안된다. 하이 퍼포먼스, 경제적인 건축환경 그리고 지속가능한 근무환경을 위한 토탈 디자인은 이번 프로젝트의 지향점으로 내외부가 밀착된 U자 형태의 건축공간으로 완성된다. 그리고 건축물의 상징적인 이미지 구현과 효율적인 근무환경을 완성하는 디자인 컨셉은 자연의 곡선에서; 인접한 드와미시강의 굽이치는 물길에서 받은 메타포를 정부센터의 팀단위 작업체계에 효율적인 유연한 공간으로 제공된다.
특히 건축물 중심부에 위치한 인도어 캠퍼스는 빌딩의 소셜센터로 지역주민들을 위한 다양한 공용서비스와 커뮤니티를 제공한다. 이러한 공용공간을 구성하는 기존 웨어하우스의 공간과 재료는 장소의 시간을 공간의 기억을 현재 모던한 공간 속에 투영됨으로써 과거와 현재를 연결하는 매개체가 된다.

Federal Center South Building 1202 is the “redevelopment” of an existing
warehouse (Building 1202) located at Federal Center South in Seattle.
The project is the result of the confluence of the 2009 American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which focused on improving our
nation’s infrastructure and creating jobs, and the U.S. General Services
Administration’s (GSA) Design Excellence program which focuses on
selecting design teams that will push boundaries and generate innovation
in design of our nation’s federal buildings. With aggressive mandates
for reuse and energy-performance, Building 1202 transforms a 4.6 acre
brownfield site into a highly flexible and sustainable 209,000 SF
regional headquarters for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Northwest District.

The integrated design solution sets a new standard for high-performance,
cost-effective, and sustainable workplace environments. The project was
planned and designed in under 18 weeks via a design-build competition
in order to guarantee the performance-based contract that met GSA’s
construction budget, energy performance goals, and an aggressive design
and construction schedule.
The “oxbow” design creates an open, collaborative workplace environment
for the USACE, emblematic of their mission of “Building Strong.” The
building’s form—reflecting the natural oxbows in the adjacent Duwamish
Waterway—provides measurable energy-performance benefits and is both
functional and flexible to accommodate the USACE’s nearly constantly
changing team-based work. The indoor campus environment enhances the
concept of creating a collective community and identity by centralizing
all common services and conferencing within the “commons” or social
heart of the building. Timber reclaimed from the existing non-historic
1202 warehouse on the site is a focal point of the commons. Reclaimed
timber bridges and stairs throughout the atrium connect people across
the building, and are strategically located adjacent to informal seating
and touchdown work surfaces to encourage communication and
collaboration. The shared communal space has become an important
connective tissue between departments that were previously dispersed in
“silos”.
Every major aspect of the building is designed to create a high-performance interior environment that establishes a new modern and sustainable workplace standard. At the same time, the project regenerates a blighted site, breathing new life into the Federal Center South campus. An appropriate building footprint and an environmentally responsible approach to siting and materials makes strides toward repairing and restoring the fabric of the Duwamish shoreline.
