Project: 1 Hotel and Residences – Sales and Design Center 

Location: Seattle 

Product: Olive Tank Redwood Paneling    

Designer: Jeffrey Deane Lamb of Sienna Architecture Company

TerraMai’s reclaimed Olive Tank Redwood paneling helps set a serene but sophisticated mood in the 1 Hotel and Residences Sales and Design Center in Seattle.

The space was designed by Jeffrey Deane Lamb of Sienna Architecture Company in Portland and Seattle.

The 1 Hotel & Residences project is an eco-friendly mixed-use project in downtown Seattle. The high-rise includes more than 100 condominium and townhome units situated above shops, clubs and restaurants. The $250 million-plus project is scheduled for completion in winter 2008.

Barry Sternlicht of Starwood Capital Group Global was recently dubbed a "Mogul on a Mission" by Vanity Fair magazine for his role in helping spearhead this and other eco-friendly projects.

The reclaimed redwood paneling used in the sales and design center helps establish the theme of sustainability central to the 1 Hotel project. TerraMai’s clear, old-growth, all-heart olive tank redwood comes from olive tanks originally manufactured by the George Windeler Company of San Francisco in the 1930s.

From then until 2005, the tanks were used to cure olives in California’s Central Valley. Decades of weathering and steeping in olive brine have given this wood a unique, charcoal-tinted patina. Redwood of this quality is virtually unavailable new.  

This project is yet another example of how well reclaimed wood compliments modern design.
