Project: Twelve|West

Location: Portland, Oregon

View: Exterior, roof with turbines

Architect: Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects LLP

AIA summary: "Rising 23 stories above the intersection of Twelfth and Washington streets in Southwest Portland, Twelve|West is a mixed-use building designed with sustainability and ongoing learning as integral goals. Twelve|West was designed to achieve the highest levels of urban sustainability, and is expected to earn a Platinum rating under LEED NC overall and LEED CI for the office floors.  An emphasis was put on selecting low-impact materials, including salvage, reclaimed and FSC-certified wood.  Much of the concrete building structure is exposed on the interior minimizing the use of finish material and providing ample thermal mass. Energy use reduction was a primary driver of the design. Simulations predict energy savings of 45% over a baseline code building."
