Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture

This is the Threshold Building in Gig Harbor, Washington. It is LEED Certified, and has a rooftop garden that is an eco-roof which helps reduce heat absorption and insulates the building. Big windows allow for natural lighting, and the timbers are reclaimed from windfallen trees in the Oregon forest.

The architects were John Savo and Randy Benedict at NBBJ
