ESeattle, eWashington – Isakhiwo seeOfisi saseLakeview eKirkland, eWashington eKirkland, eWashington, sisakhiwo sokuqala esikhulu sophuhliso lweeofisi ezinkulu ezenziwe ngamaplanga eKirkland kwaye senzelwe ukuba sibe sisakhiwo seeofisi esizinzileyo “esithetha-thethana nolwandle lwaseKirkland, isithili sezorhwebo, kunye nommandla wezindlu okufutshane,” ngokutsho kweLMN Architects.

Isakhiwo esingama-46,000-sq.-ft. sineenxalenye ezinkulu zomthi ezenziwe ngaphambili ezazidityaniswe kwindawo leyo. Iisilingi ze-SPF Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) zahlukile kwiimitha zeDouglas Fir Glulam kwaye zihlonipha amahlathi alo mmandla.

Esi sakhiwo simodeli yoyilo oluzinzileyo, sisebenzisa imithi emininzi esusa ikhabhoni kunye nezinto eziluhlaza ezivela kumahlathi asePacific Northwest. Iiphaneli zomgangatho nophahla zesakhiwo zenziwe ngeephaneli zeDLT ezenziwe kwangaphambili. Iiphaneli zenziwe ngee-dowels zokhuni endaweni yeglue, kwaye ukwakheka kwazo komthi wonke kuzenza zihlale ixesha elide kwaye zilungele umgangatho womoya ophucukileyo kunye nentuthuzelo.

UGerald Epp Jr., iNjineli yoPhuhliso lweShishini, iStructureCraft, uthi: “Zonke izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo ezenziwe ngomthi zenziwe ngaphandle kwendawo njengezixhobo. Oku akukhuthazi nje kuphela ukhuseleko kunye nomgangatho njengoko uninzi lomsebenzi wenziwa kwindawo elawulwayo, kodwa kwanceda nokwakhiwa ngokukhawuleza kwendawo. Indawo efudumeleyo yobuhle kunye ne-biophilic yokwakha imithi evezweyo ikhuthaza abaphuhlisi kunye nabanini bezakhiwo eWashington nakuMntla Melika ukuba bayisebenzise kuphuhliso lwabo olulandelayo lwezorhwebo.”

UJohn Chau, iQabane, i-LMN Architects, uthi: “Isakhiwo seeOfisi saseLakeview sibonisa ukuzinikela kwethu ekuveliseni izinto ezintsha, uphando kunye nokuzinza. Uyilo lwesakhiwo lusekelwe kwiimfuno zanamhlanje zesakhiwo seeofisi sanamhlanje esizinzileyo, indalo ejikeleze indawo, kunye nomdla wethu wokuvelisa izinto ezintsha. Ukusebenzisana ne-HEWITT eluphahleni oluhlala abantu, kunye neSierra Construction, iStructureCraft kunye neCoughlin Porter Lundeen kwisakhiwo semithi emikhulu kube nomvuzo kwaye siyazingca kakhulu ngoko sikufezileyo kunye neCascade Management.”
