After a decade's worth of grassroots work reaching out to the neighborhood, gathering data and developing design guidelines based on community feedback, Schemata Workshop partnered with Hewitt and Gerding Edlen to design a mixed-used urban community on the land above the Capitol Hill Link Station. An iterative design process balanced feedback from clients, multiple neighborhood group meetings, and open houses, as well as feedback through Seattle’s Design Review process, illustrating the impressive number of stakeholders in this project.ĬOMMUNITY DIALOGUE AND COMMUNITY-FOCUSED DESIGNĪ vision of sustainability and equity designed to contribute to the vibrant life of Capitol Hill was the product of a community-driven effort in 2009 by a team effort from Schemata Workshop & MAKERS.
