Seattle, Washington – Isakhiwo Sehhovisi LaseLakeview eKirkland, eWashington eKirkland, eWash., sisakhiwo sokuqala esikhulu sokwakhiwa kwamahhovisi amakhulu okhuni eKirkland futhi saklanywa ukuba sibe yisakhiwo sehhovisi esiqhubekayo “esixoxisana nogu lwaseKirkland, isifunda sezentengiselwano, kanye nendawo yokuhlala eseduze,” ngokusho kwe-LMN Architects.

Amaphaneli aphansi nophahla akhiwe ngamaphaneli e-DLT akhiwe ngaphambilini. Amaphaneli enziwe ngama-dowel okhuni esikhundleni seglue, futhi ukwakheka kwawo kokhuni lonke kuwenza aqine futhi afaneleke kakhulu ukuze kube nekhwalithi yomoya ethuthukisiwe kanye nenduduzo.

UGerald Epp Jr., uNjiniyela Wokuthuthukiswa Kwebhizinisi, iStructureCraft, uthi: “Zonke izingxenye zokhuni olukhulu zaklanywa futhi zenziwa ngaphandle kwendawo njengekhithi yezingxenye. Lokhu akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukuphepha nekhwalithi njengoba umsebenzi omningi wenziwa endaweni elawulwayo yesitolo, kodwa futhi kwasiza ukwakhiwa okusheshayo endaweni. Indawo efudumele yobuhle kanye nemvelo yokwakheka kokhuni oluveziwe ikhuthaza abathuthukisi kanye nabanikazi bezakhiwo eWashington naseNyakatho Melika ukuba bayisebenzise ekuthuthukisweni kwabo okulandelayo kwezentengiselwano.”
