The intimate charm of a modern residence has been designed into this Bellevue, Washington medical center, located in a residential area. It features the imaginative use of standard sizes and grades of West Coast Lumber. Built on a hillside site, the structure provides 4,850 square feet of space on two floors for five individual office suites and an apothecary shop.
The privacy screen of Western Red Cedar takes its pattern from the simulated folded plate roof which runs immediately above it, horizontal to ground level. The screen provides a visual division of the offices from the upper-level, 16-car parking lot, while allowing a full view and diffusion of early morning and late afternoon sunlight. Character is subtly added to the building by the pattern of the folded plate roof, the function of which is weather protection for the outside entrance corridor.
The apothecary shop and clinic blend into the relaxed suburban atmosphere. The rich, natural appearance of West Coast Lumber offers an impression of friendly welcome to patients, replacing the conventional "sanitary white" for such structures. This building is the second of a medical "complex" planned for the area. This striking and imaginative interpretation of modern architectural ideas has been accomplished with maximum economy through the practical use of West Coast Lumber's many sizes and grades. You'll find a limitless field of design applications for versatile, practical West Coast Lumber. Your local retail lumber dealer is a convenient supply source.
