City of White Rock Operations Building. Daylight light shelves provide balanced

daylight and reduce electric lighting needs. A green-sod roof reduces runoff from imper-

meable surfaces, while a pervious parking lot allows inﬁ ltration of water into the ground.

The facility also uses stormwater rather than potable water to wash city vehicles and for

toilets, and waterless urinals and low-ﬂ ow faucets throughout the facility further reduce

water consumption. Extensive use of materials produced within a 500-mile radius of the

site also reduced transportation effects on the environment.

Genzyme Center. The sustainable design in this building is fully integrated into architecture, space,

and light. Sustainability in this sense is not an extra you could add or not. It is interwoven with the

vital parts of architecture.

The Plaza at PPL Center. An eight-story glass atrium brings natural light deep into the core of the building,

while extensive perimeter glazing provides panoramic views and abundant daylight, filtered through

brises-soleil, directly to all building spaces.

The Barn at Fallingwater.

This is an adaptive reuse of

a nineteenth-century heavy-

timber bank barn and its

twentieth-century addition,

framed in dimension lumber.

Salvaged ﬁ r, new sunﬂ ower-

seed composite panels, and

sound-absorptive straw panels

complement the palette of

original materials while

underscoring the structure’s

connection to farming. A

zero-discharge wastewater-

reclamation system, gray-water

ﬂ ushing, and low-ﬂ ow ﬁ xtures

reduce potable water use.

Evergreen State College Seminar II. A central open volume allows daylighting,

natural stack ventilation, and visual connections between the academic programs.

To safeguard the site’s forest ecology, the building is ﬁ ngered into the landscape.

Planting features a mix of native species organized according to their natural setting

and replaces the forest disturbed by construction. To reduce the impact of the project

on Thornton Creek and its native salmon, a 20,443-square-foot vegetated roof was

installed.

Lloyd Crossing Sustainable Urban Design Plan. Lloyd Crossing is a sustainable neighborhood design and a unique COTE Top Ten entry.

Rather than the typical building or building complex, it illustrates sustainable design as an urban solution—past the building object. This

study has generated extensive discussion internationally and has created a methodology for expanding the scope and criteria for urban

and city infrastructure design.
