Tsuga Townhomes in Seattle

May 8, 2021

Tsuga Townhomes

Architecture: Wittman Estes

Location: Seattle, Washington, USA

Rapidly escalating construction costs in Seattle have resulted in high volume, low quality market rate housing. In 2019, housing construction costs in Seattle were the sixth highest in the world, averaging $338/SF. The high cost of construction led to a proliferation of generic production housing, transforming Seattle into neighborhoods of hermetically sealed faux-modern boxes, built of low-cost materials and disconnected from the outdoors.

Tsuga Townhomes set out to resolve this paradox of low cost and high quality, working to achieve excellent sustainable design while balancing the construction cost proforma. The three-unit urban infill project was completed for 44% below the cost of the Seattle average, while raising the bar for design and sustainability. Using design to maneuver complicated development restrictions, the project fit three dwellings on a 5,040 square foot site that was designated an environmentally critical area steep slope. The site plan—a careful composition of outdoor living spaces—includes a series of green roofs and bioretention planters, captures rainwater for plantings and reduces runoff. The design team selected energy efficient mechanical systems and went beyond the code for insulation to achieve Four Star Built Green certification.

In order to achieve their design goals and cost targets, the architects were their own client- purchasing the land and developing and building the project themselves. In typical developer housing, the focus is on minimizing design costs. More creative possibilities for materials, spatial layouts, and detailing were achieved by linking architecture with development. Acting as architect, developer, and contractor, the architects were able to work directly with the fabricators and tradespeople, creating efficiencies and opportunities for more custom and higher quality design and details at a lower price.

A single-family lot was subdivided into a dense cluster of three units, providing three dwellings where there had been a single home. The location is at the intersection of zones where single-family houses transition to four-story apartment buildings is representative of the historic neighborhood’s evolution from small, single family worker houses built at the turn of the century to higher density urban infill townhomes.

The main house sits along the busy arterial of Highland Park Way, while the duplex is nestled into the hillside and wooded greenbelt along 8th Avenue with focused views in between adjacent buildings and towards trees and nature, accessible to the outside onto decks and terraces. The townhomes are accessible at multiple levels. The main house is entered through a front porch off the sidewalk on Highland Park Way and the duplex has entries from both the auto court and from a porch the pedestrian access off 8th Avenue using the steep slope as connecting device between the two streets.

Local Western Red Hemlock, also known as Tsuga wood, is a historic material used by local Salish people. Woodcraft and detailing using Tsuga screens were incorporated into the interiors. Access to sunlight and connection to nature were guiding design principles, seeking a long-lasting building suited to Seattle’s dark and wet northern climate. The vertical, expression of the duplex and textures of cedar recall both the woodcraft of the Salish tribes and the later heritage of the woodwork of Scandinavian settlers.

A double height living space and mezzanine above in the main house includes an iconic corner window and pendant that are visible along the busy adjacent arterial of Highland Park Way. A south facing ‘megawindow’ is a sixteen-foot-tall window next to floating stairs with a Tsuga hemlock wood screen that allow south direct sunlight to enter while filtering privacy for the dining room and kitchen.

The duplex is built around a central spine of open floating stairs and windows, designed to maximize natural daylight and access to outdoors within a narrow footprint. The five levels of the duplex have usable outdoor space on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and rooftop, providing a feeling of generosity in the narrow 14-foot floor plates. The steep slope provided the benefit of a terraced, stepping building section that connected the lower and upper connections to the landscape.

Making a healthy living environment that reduces energy use and costs was a design goal. The site plan, which includes a series of green roofs and water harvesting bio-retention planters, captures rainwater for plantings and reduces runoff. Energy efficient mechanical systems, including on-demand hot water heaters, air source heat pumps, low flow water fixtures were installed. High performance insulation was installed on the roof and floors, and the buildings achieved Four Star Built Green certification.

Green roofs, terraces, and porches create ‘buffer zones’ that filter between privacy and openness. Landscape is used as mediator to allows for subtle gradations of public and private, allowing the residents to choose when to be seen and when to be private. The floating stairs are made of reclaimed 3″x12″ Douglas fir beams from the deconstructed historic Inland Foods Warehouse in Lewiston, Idaho. A south facing ‘megawindow’ was positioned to maximize solar load, a useful energy saver in Seattle where keeping the home warm outweighs the need for keeping it cool and reduces energy use and heating costs for residents. Other strategies such as highly insulated roofs and floors, air source heat pumps, and eco-friendly finish materials reinforce the focus on energy efficiency and sustainability.

Tencent Music delays US$2 billion US IPO due to weak markets: sources

Business

Tencent Music Entertainment has delayed its planned U.S. initial public offering (IPO) until at least November as the owner of China’s most popular music apps prefers to wait for global stock markets to stabilize, three sources said.

HONG KONG: Tencent Music Entertainment has delayed its planned U.S. initial public offering (IPO) until at least November as the owner of China’s most popular music apps prefers to wait for global stock markets to stabilize, three sources said.

The music arm of tech giant Tencent Holdings is expected to raise at least US$2 billion and was originally planning to launch its offering as soon as next week, the sources said.

However, Wall Street on Wednesday suffered its worst one-day drop in eight months, with the S&P 500 down 3.29 per cent. The index dropped a further 2.06 percent on Thursday.

“Are they really going to launch into this window?” asked one source involved in the deal, adding that the company had plenty of cash. “Why try and jam something out now?”

Chinese shares have also fallen, with the CSI 300 index of mainland Chinese blue-chips down 4.8 percent to a 27-month low on Thursday.

“Given the recent challenging market conditions, it won’t be a good idea for the company to go ahead with the listing timetable. It makes more sense to wait till the market recovers a bit,” said another person with knowledge of the matter.

Tencent Music declined to comment. The sources declined to be identified as the information was not public.

At US$2 billion, the IPO would be one of the largest by a Chinese company in the United States this year, behind the US$2.4 billion raised by video streaming company iQiyi in March but ahead of the US$1.6 billion garnered by online group discounter Pinduoduo in July.

In total, Chinese companies have raised US$7.5 billion from U.S. markets so far this year – the biggest amount since 2014 – according to Refinitiv data.

Tencent Music filed for its IPO earlier this month, setting a placeholder sum of US$1 billion for registration purposes.

The company owns streaming apps QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo as well as karaoke app WeSing, and claims more than 800 million monthly active users.

The number of Tencent Music shares to be sold were not disclosed and potential valuations were unclear. Its Swedish music streaming counterpart Spotify Technology SA is currently valued at around US$27.1 billion.

The Chinese firm, which has a cross shareholding deal with Spotify, offers more in the way of socially interactive services that makes it profitable, while the Swedish firm is not. Tencent Music reported a 92 percent jump in sales in the first half of this year and net profit of US$263 million.

Meet Swiss violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja

Consul General of Switzerland André Schaller had the pleasure to welcome Swiss violinist Patricia Kopatchinsaja to the residence after her marvelous concert at Park Avenue Armory on Monday.

She performed together with cellist Jay Campbell in the restored Board of Officers Room as part of the 2017 Recital Series. The two “artistes étoiles” of this year’s Lucerne Festival presented duos from a wide ranging repertoire, including compositions by Xenakis, Ligeti, and a premiere by Michael Hersch.

Swiss-Moldavian violin phenomenon Patricia Kopatchinskaja is known for her energy, charisma and versatility. Performing styles ranging from classical and baroque to modern reinterpretations, she has played with orchestras such as the London, Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic, and is the recipient of the 2017 Swiss Music Prize.

Born in a family of musician, she started playing the violin at the age of six. Her family immigrated to Vienna where she studied violin and composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts. She received a grant from the Conservatory in Bern and moved to Switzerland at the age of 21, where she currently resides.  

Kopatchinskaja’s 2017/18 season started with the world premiere of her new project Dies Irae at the Lucerne Festival. Dies Irae, which is her second staged program following the success of Bye Bye Beethoven with Mahler Chamber Orchestra in 2016, uses the Latin Requiem Mass theme as a base for her new concept featuring music from Early Baroque and Gregorian Chant,  Giacinto Scelsi and Galina Ustwolskaja. The US premiere will take place at the Ojai Festival in June 2018, of which Kopatchinskaja was appointed Music Director. 

Chamber music is particularly important to Kopatchinskaja and she performs regularly with artists such as Markus Hinterhäuser, Polina Leschenko, Anthony Romaniuk and Jay Campbell, appearing at venues such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, London’s Wigmore Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus and Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

Born in 1989 in Berkley, California, Jay Campbell began playing the cello at the age of eight. He holds an Artist Diploma, as well as a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the Julliard School where he was student of Fred Sherry. Dedicated to the music of our time, Jay has worked closely with some of the most imaginative contemporary musicians including Pierre Boulez, Elliott Carter, Matthias Pintscher, John Adams and Kaija Saariaho. His close association with John Zorn resulted in the 2015 release of Hen to Pan (Tzadik) featuring all works written for Campbell, which was selected by The New York Times as one of the best Classical Music Recordings of 2015.

In 2016 Campbell won the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. The same year, together with Alan Gilbert, he curated the Ligeti Forward concert series as part of the New York Phil Biennial, where he performed with an ensemble of Lucerne Festival Alumni. Most recently, Campbell was names artist in residence (artiste étoile) for the 2017 Lucerne Festival, making him the youngest ever to achieve this title.

Los Cuartetos vuelven a Sevilla

[El joven Cuarteto Gerhard. La foto es de Josep Molina]

La recién constituida Asociación Andalucía Clásica ofrecerá en el Espacio Turina a partir de octubre su primera temporada de conciertos

Desde la desaparición en 2010 del extraordinario ciclo que la Fundación El Monte (luego Cajasol) había puesto en marcha en 1998, Sevilla carece de una temporada regular de música de cámara que haga desfilar periódicamente por la ciudad a grandes conjuntos internacionales, un vacío que los programas de la Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla (ROSS), Juventudes Musicales y el Teatro Central, los Festivales Turina o de Primavera no han cubierto a causa de la propia finalidad o carácter de sus propuestas. El próximo curso la situación puede empezar a revertirse, pues el Espacio Turina acogerá un ciclo camerístico más que notable que nace con la intención de ser germen de algo importante.

La iniciativa parte de la Asociación Andalucía Clásica, que fue creada en 2016 por Andreea Butucariu, fundadora y directora de una agencia de representación artística y de un sello discográfico en Alemania, y Carmen Delia Romero, una entidad que en su web se define como "asociación profesional sin ánimo de lucro" y que tiene entre sus múltiples fines "promover la música clásica por toda la comunidad andaluza, (...) poner al alcance de los niños, jóvenes y estudiantes la formación, (...) formar al público del futuro, (...) integrar los conciertos de música clásica dentro del reclamo turístico de Andalucía", etcétera.

[Elisabeth Leonskaja. La foto es de Julia Wesely]

El primer proyecto de Andalucía Clásica tendrá como destino el Espacio Turina de Sevilla, donde ha programado un ciclo de siete conciertos que inaugurará el 4 de octubre la gran pianista georgiana Elisabeth Leonskaja, que es representada por la agencia de Butucariu y ha sido nombrada presidenta de honor de la asociación. Leonskaja, que conoce ya la sala sevillana, ofrecerá música de uno de sus compositores predilectos, Franz Schubert. El ciclo se cerrará también con música schubertiana, un maratón que estaba previsto para el 30 de mayo, que se pensaba festivo (al dejar de serlo, es posible que el evento se traslade a un fin de semana cercano). Con un programa aún por cerrar, entre las 11 y las 21 horas se sucederán actuaciones de unos 45 minutos de duración dedicadas a la música instrumental del compositor vienés (una lástima que no se haga auténtico honor al concepto de la Schubertiada incluyéndose también recitales de lieder, que el adelanto de la temporada ofrecido por Andalucía Clásica no contempla).

El grueso de la programación estará dedicado en cualquier caso al cuarteto de cuerdas, con cinco propuestas de conjuntos que, con la salvedad del Diotima, se distinguen por ser formaciones jóvenes y prometedoras, que han empezado a despuntar en el último lustro dentro del ámbito europeo. Para su temporada, Andalucía Clásica aprovecha un ciclo de la Fundación Juan March de Madrid, los Viernes temáticos, que el próximo año hará un repaso por la historia del cuarteto de cuerdas en siete conciertos. Por Sevilla pasarán cuatro de esos programas madrileños, para configurar una serie planteada con la misma perspectiva histórica del género.

El primero de los grupos no participa de cualquier forma en el ciclo madrileño. Será el Cuarteto Edding, un conjunto formado hace diez años que toca con instrumentos originales y ofrecerá el 8 de noviembre un recital con obras de Bach (tres contrapuntos de El arte de la Fuga), Haydn (Op.77 nº1) y Mozart (KV 465, el famoso Cuarteto de las Disonancias, de la serie de seis dedicados a Haydn en 1785). El 13 de diciembre el Cuarteto Carducci ofrecerá dos obras mayores del repertorio del primer Romanticismo, el Cuarteto Serioso de Beethoven, una de las obras cumbres del período medio del compositor de Bonn, y el 14 de Schubert, conocido como La muerte y la doncella, posiblemente la más célebre partitura cuartetística de la historia.

Seguirá el 7 de febrero la actuación del Cuarteto Van Kuijn, fundado en 2012, que ofrecerá obras ya del pleno Romanticismo debidas a Mendelssohn (Op.44 nº2) y Schumann (Op.41 nº1). El 4 de marzo un joven conjunto español con apenas seis años de vida, el Cuarteto Gerhard, llegará para tocar el Cuarteto de Ravel, Vistas al mar de Toldrá y el Cuarteto nº1 de Smetana. Las citas con los cuartetos la cerrará el Diotima, que pasó hace unos meses por el Teatro Central con notable éxito: de aquella actuación repetirán el 9 de mayo un fragmento del Livre pour quatuor de Boulez y la estimulante Suite lírica de Alban Berg. Stravinski y el Cuarteto nº3 de Béla Bartók completarán su actuación.

En un curso que se abre con la celebración de la sexta edición del Festival Joaquín Turina y en el que la ROSS tiene previsto ofrecer dos ciclos íntegros en el mismo Espacio Turina (el de Cámara completo y, por primera vez, uno que con música principalmente del Clasicismo ofrecerá la orquesta en versión reducida: 27 conciertos en total), Sevilla se juega mucho con este nuevo ciclo promovido por una asociación privada. ¿Hay público suficiente para toda esta oferta? De la respuesta a esta pregunta dependerá la posibilidad de arraigo de una programación internacional de cámara digna de una Ciudad de la Música, título que la Unesco concedió a Sevilla hace justo 11 años.
