Mason

An Intersection of Urban Experiences

Mason and its sister site, Main are a unique set of buildings located within Seattles Little Saigon neighborhood. Retaining the neighborhood’s original character - a place where cultures meet and weave together - the two sibling structures house emerging professionals, forever-renters, downsizing empty nesters, and individuals of all age groups.   A recognition that not everybody has the same needs embodies the spirit of the Mason building; Each common room and amenity was designed with a different approach, for a different purpose, intended to be used at different times of the day. This innovative design direction lends itself to establishing the amenity spaces inside the Mason building as unique, independent destinations within the larger Mason & Main destination.   The interior of Mason is saturated with subtle references to travel, and the growth of understanding that comes with it. Local art alluding to international styles makes that connection immediately within Mason’s foyer. Paired with the wide array of vibrant colors and intricate textures integrated throughout the building, it’s apparent that Mason offers an assortment of charming, one-of-a-kind locations for residents to come together and foster meaningful connections, all under a single roof.

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.
