THE RESIDENCE
The transformation from warehouse to living space won this building AIA home of the year in 1993. Windows to the ceiling and top floor corner views of the City. The living room and dining room embrace a large open kitchen. Concrete blending with warm unpainted 13 foot fir ceilings. Oversized bedrooms and bathrooms. A cross-vaulted gallery hallway connects residence and studio, blending history with modern elegance. This is a place equally suited to personal refuge and ebullient parties!




THE STUDIO
Extending a perfectly proportioned 50 feet by 20 feet, the North facing studio offers an inspiring workspace. High ceilings and industrial strength beams. Beautiful even light from the purpose-built 18 foot wide skylight.




THE BUILDING
In the early 1990s, a group of artists came together to transform a piece of Seattle’s industrial past into a thriving creative enclave. They set their sights on this 1916 truck repair warehouse. They remodeled it right. Big infrastructure overhaul, power, sprinklers, elevator, and retrofitting. Today, the Union Art Cooperative (UAC) remains a vital part of Seattle’s artistic landscape, offering a rare balance of history, craftsmanship, and community.
​
UAC's purpose is to provide live/work studio space for artists, and to create a community that fosters and promotes creativity The owners of each unit must include one person who is an artist.
