The Century Project Receives ENR National Award
2021/01/14
Following its recent win under the ENR Northwest awards program, The Century Project at the Space Needle (led by principal/owner Alan Maskin) has now been honored as Best Project in the Renovation/Restoration category by the 2020 ENR National Best of the Best Projects Awards. This program collects winning projects from each of ENR’s regional award programs, about 200 entries from across the United States, for review and selection by a new panel of industry jurors.
The Century Project, a significant renovation of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, introduced a new visitor experience to preserve the tower’s legacy for its next 50 years. The new design includes the world’s first rotating glass floor on the restaurant level, floor-to-ceiling glass barriers with integral glass benches on the observation deck, a new steel and glass stairway with a glass-floored oculus connecting all three floors, and revised interiors throughout the “top house” of the Needle. The project was also recently certified LEED® Gold for Commercial Interiors.
We are delighted to share the honor of this award with our client, Hoffman Construction, and all of the partners and collaborators that contributed to this project.
