Skyglass | HEWITT
Seattle / United States / 2023
3
Skyglass is a recently completed, 33-story, mixed-use residential tower in the heart of South Lake Union, Seattle's fastest growing neighborhood. Designed by Julia Nagele of HEWITT, Skyglass operates at two scales and with two expressions. The building responds to the streetscape at a human scale while connecting with larger, more distant contexts, including Elliot Bay, the Cascade Mountains and Lake Union. The tower's tactile podium provides stability between the undulating tower above while accommodating a diverse, human-scale streetscape below. Above the podium, the tower shifts and constantly changes form. Wrapped in partially reflective glass, the facades are ephemeral and reflect and move along with the sun and clouds across the sky.
