October at the LIV Apartments was a busy month.  The most notable progress on site over the last month would probably be the framing of the North Building, which topped out at its highest point.  This signals the completion of the framing for phase 1 of the project.  The roof and waterproofing will soon follow in an effort to minimize the exposure to the moist fall weather. The East Building, adjacent to 156th Ave NE, underwent a quick transition as subsurface...

As progress at the Phinney Ridge Prefab project site continues since the demolition of the existing home, ongoing efforts on the home continues at the Method Homes factory in Ferndale, WA. Prefabrication of this home allows for a significantly reduced construction schedule, and also helps considerably for projects that are to be constructed in the wet fall and winter months of Seattle. Floor plans and designs are created in the same process as a stick built home.  Structurally, there are differences in...

The excavator is in the process of demolition of the existing home at the site of the new Phinney Ridge Prefab home project being careful for the neighboring homes and fences. Homes are no match for an excavator, also known as a track hoe.  The long reach of the boom and bucket is able to grab the roof of a home and crumple it to the ground with little effort. Stripped bare, even the existing concrete will be removed to make way...

After all the struggle and time it took to remedy the deficient trusses it’s exciting to see the roof membrane on...

Original post 05/23/2014 As framing progresses at the LIV Apartments, a major design feature of the project is starting to take shape.  The “gateway” entrance off Bel-red Road is adorned with two story feature walls on both the North and West buildings, with the West building wall framing now ready to receive exterior sheathing. These walls will be clad with composite wood panels accented by random arrangements of different sized windows that announce the entry point to the project.  This playful gesture hints...
