Small, triangular-shaped windows punctuate the perimeter walls of both floors, granting 360-degree views of the Olympics, Elliott Bay, and the city of Seattle. LED strip lighting along the perimeter of the space provide a wash of soft light along the canted walls. Exposed exterior concrete walls and ceilings were painted white to reflect light and stand in contrast to the rich finishes of the new interior walls. In addition to its fireproofed structural steel frame, it had interior.

The Seattle apartment spans the 37th and 38th floors and is owned and managed by Unico Properties. Flooring throughout was upgraded to stained engineered oak planks, with a moat of polished black pebbles filling in the irregular space between the new floor and the undulating perimeter of the existing structure. In designing the lobbies guest amenities lounges offices board room floor and chairmans suite SOMs interiors team took inspiration from The Burj Khalifa. A rich yet simple material palette consists of stained oak wall panels, blackened steel guardrails and light switch towers, and warm grey quartz counters and tile. Completed in 1914 it has 38 floors and remained the tallest building on the West Coast until the Seattle Space Needle overtook it in 1962. A large pivot door provides separation for the bedroom suite, as desired. The design opens up the floor plan so all spaces within the uniquely shaped volume can flow together.
No expense was spared in the construction of this ambitious 462-foot building, with interiors finished in rich materials and ornate detailing. Originally housing the building’s water tank and converted into a makeshift apartment in the 70s, this latest conversion updates the space into a luxurious Smith Tower penthouse.
