Mason

A Destination within a Destination

Creating a destination within a destination, the Mason building pulls inspiration from the history of Seattle's Little Saigon neighborhood, establishing itself as a melting-pot location where people from across the globe can come together to share space and exchange ideas, experiences, and traditions. The multicultural exchange and sense of personal growth that results from international travel is palpable in the Mason building’s décor. Handmade rugs from India and Seattle tie the leasing office lounge together and emphasize the meeting and melding of cultures. Sliding cane screens guard bookshelves and provide a sense of nostalgia, resembling a room divider that might be found in the cabin of a transatlantic ocean liner. In the mail room, graphic wallpaper depicts bright, colorful stamps from foreign countries, reminding residents that the world is at their fingertips. Amenities tailored to both active and leisurely endeavors are found throughout the building, referencing the range of activities one might participate in while on a trip abroad, beginning with the ample amount of coworking spaces in the entrance lobby. On the second floor, a state-of-the-art gym and an insulated karaoke-theatre room encourages residents to stay active or to gather and embrace their fun-loving, artistic sides. At the top of the seventh floor, an indoor/outdoor community space grants residents access to postcard-perfect views of Seattle and Mt. Rainier. A peninsula gas fireplace surrounded by comfortable furniture carves out room for telling tales of past travels. Basket-like light fixtures suspended above the kitchen reference the hand-made wares a globe-trotting traveler might bring home as a souvenir and provide bright, warm tones for the space, solidifying the coziness of residents’ shared home.
