架构师提供的文本描述。城市领域的发展本质正在从以单一用途建筑为主的建筑转变为多用途目的地和连接社区-而400个锦绣则体现了这一变化。在13层楼高337，000平方英尺的地方，这座混合用途的建筑被认为是城市建设的催化剂.该建筑旨在融入社区，培养社区意识和联系感，从公共/私人参与和功能设计的角度重新设定商业设计的发展期望。

Text description provided by the architects. The nature of development in the urban realm is changing from buildings that are predominantly single-purpose structures into multi-use destinations and connected communities—and 400 Fairview embodies this change. At thirteen stories and 337,000-square-feet, this mixed-use building was conceived as a catalyst for urban engagement. Designed to knit into its neighborhood and foster a sense of community and connection, the building resets development expectations for commercial design in terms of public/private engagement and functional design.

从程序上讲，建筑分为两个部分。领奖台是一个丰富的色调和质感，弯弯曲曲的三层元素，以其多孔的地面平面，融合其突出的市场大厅和室外空间，创造一个活动中心。一座相形见绌、狭小的十层写字楼矗立在讲台上，上面挂着图案鲜明的窗户。这座塔中间稍微铰链，以提高视野.平台和塔台都由整体颜色的预制混凝土面板组成；街道水平的圆形喷砂图案，以及塔的光滑纹理。重新设置商业发展的典型语言的解决方案是通过一种开放的、吸引人的和非正式的方法来实现的，这种方法贯穿于整个建筑中-从计划到集合和实质性。

Programmatically, the building is divided into two components. The podium is a richly-toned and textured, sinuously-curving three-story element notable for its porous ground plane that merges its prominent market hall with outdoor spaces to create a hub of activity. A contrasting, narrow, ten-story office tower featuring dynamically patterned windows rises above the podium. The tower is hinged slightly at mid-block to enhance views. Both podium and tower are formed with integrally-colored precast concrete panels; a sandblasted pattern of circles at street level, and a smooth texture for the tower. The solution to resetting the typical language of commercial development is achieved through an open, engaging and informal approach to architectural expression that is present throughout the building—from plan to massing, and materiality.

街道体验的每一件事都是为了增加对周围环境的邀请感和接触感：在建筑的所有方面，包括小巷，都有大量和频繁的入场，改善了整个场地的移动；创建了一个商场大厅，将街区的长度与零售、办公人员和过路人融为一体；一个丰富的材料调色板，溢出到遮蔽的外部空间，包括一个广场和大型门廊；以及当地零售策划，创造丰富多样的体验，给建筑带来从早上到晚上的生活。自然光从三个大的、全玻璃的显示器涌进市场大厅，这些监视器也向讲台级的办公室开放，并提供跨楼层的景观。这栋建筑的顶层设有屋顶餐厅和露台，向公众开放-这是社区欣赏城市和湖泊联盟景观的难得机会。

Everything about the street-level experience is designed to increase the sense of invitation and engagement with its surroundings: large and frequent entries on all sides of the building, including the alley, improve movement throughout the site; the creation of a market hall that runs the length of the block to merge retail, office workers and passersby; a rich palette of materials that spills into sheltered exterior spaces, including a plaza and large-scale stoops; and the curation of local retail to create a rich and varied experience that brings life to the building from morning until night. Natural light floods into the market hall from three large, fully-glazed monitors, which also open to podium-level offices and afford views across floors. The building’s top floor accommodates a rooftop restaurant and deck that is open to the public—a rare opportunity for the community to enjoy views of the city and Lake Union.

塔式开窗的图案灵感来自于天然织物中的乡村编织，如亚麻、亚麻或丝绸的不规则，这有助于它轻松自然的感觉。玻璃是由五个不同的模块组成的，而不是使用在这么多办公楼上发现的丝带窗户。一个由10英尺宽的窗口和预制板模块组成的系统被偏移，水平和垂直旋转，以创建不同的窗口布局。白色或黑色的窗框创造了一个额外的一层视觉纹理，这是揭示当一个接近建筑物。非典型窗口模块的另一个好处是，它可以转换成各种各样的房间大小，为租户提供更多的灵活性。在内部，独特的“侧芯”设计将电梯和服务功能从楼板的中间移至边缘，从而提高了大地板的效率和灵活性。该建筑已通过LEED白金认证。

The patterning of the tower fenestration was inspired by the rustic weave found in natural fabrics, such as linen, flax or silk—irregularities that contribute to its relaxed, natural feel. Rather than employ ribbon windows found on so many office buildings, glazing is composed of five distinct modules. A system of  ten-foot-wide window and precast panel modules are offset and rotated horizontally and vertically to create the varied window layout. White or black window frames create an additional layer of visual texture, which is revealed as one approaches the building. An additional benefit of the atypical window module is that it translates into a wide variety of room sizes, providing more flexibility for tenants. Inside, the unique “side-core” design moves the elevator and service functions from the middle of the floor plate to the edge, thereby increasing the efficiency and flexibility of the large floor plates. The building is LEED Platinum certified.
