This is Tom Kundig’s first condominium project and their public relations company has boasted that although these would “normally have a hefty price tag,” Eleven Eleven East Pike will be a “rare opportunity(ies) for high design at a more affordable price.” You can view more renderings and project description on the OSKA website.

It’s mentioned that the Austin A Bell building is award winning. What awards has it won?
I’m not sure. If I remember correctly, it was an award regarding historical architecture. I’m pretty sure it was in the AIA book about downtown Seattle structures, but have to dig it up. …will reply when I find it, and make note of it on the page for that particular building.
