space needle plaza Space Needle Corporation

With the expansion of a base-level public plaza and retail store, the

Space Needle’s status as Seattle’s most popular attraction continues.

The addition of a glass-enclosed pavilion that mirrors the orbiting

form of its “flying saucer” top expresses the spirit of the designated

landmark’s original design, which debuted at the 1962 World’s Fair.

The Space Needle’s more visible front door entrance, gathering areas

and expanded retail options create an enhanced visitor experience

that meets both civic and business interests.

Entertaining the Hollywood Way

MGM Hollywood Way is the retail and entertainment hub for the

Chengfeng Redevelopment District. Two separate components—

an open-air five-level lifestyle center and a themed entertainment

destination—give visitors multiple options for interacting with

the uses. The building is designed to represent a jeweled box that

catches visitor’s attention through the use of motion created by the

exterior lighting graphics, LED signage, sound and unique painted

surfaces. The magic created by this exterior invites guests to enter and

experience the magic of Hollywood in their own backyard.
