A shining gem on the Pacific coast of the United States, the hometown of Bill Gates, and the cradles of Starbucks and Amazon.com. Do you know where it is?
It's Seattle, located on the Pacific coast of northwest Washington state. Covered by rivers, forests, mountains and lakes, the city is also known as the Emerald City. In recent years, new technology companies such as Amazon.com, Microsoft and FACEBOOK grew rapidly here, injecting energy into the area and attracting a large pool of high quality talents. This has made Seattle the most suitable place for life and work in the United States.
Overlooking this beautiful city from the snow-capped Mount Rainier, it's busy and peaceful. And in the city center, a distinctive building is easy to spot. The 134-meter-tall building has a unique shape, composed of six different blocks stacked together in a spiral, revealing a dynamic beauty. It is considered the new landmark in downtown Seattle since it was completed in 2019.
The first block at the bottom covers the first 6 floors, which include the reception lobby, parking lot, community authority and all guest rooms. From the second block up is the residential space for sale. Each block twists away from its counterparts by 4 degrees, to form a natural terrace at the top corner of each block, which is then turned into an open-air garden with green plants. In the downtown area where space is limited, this smart connection of internal and external space is just impressive.
This is NEXUS, a top-of-the-line residential tower co-developed by the architectural firm Weber Thompson and Sotheby's, the world's largest auction house and broker of art, collectibles, jewelry, and real estate. It offers 382 residential units in six different room types, including studios, suites, sky gardens and penthouse suites. It was sold out within two weeks after its opening in 2019. According to local media reports, on the first day of the sale of the project, many buyers lined up outside the sales center at 5 a.m.
Part of the reason why it is so popular is because there aren't many high-quality housing projects in Seattle in recent years. In addition to this, the novel and unique design concepts of NEXUS and the complete facilities in the apartments are also the attractive factors. The showroom features modern minimalistic CAMERICH furniture, including stylish fabric sofas and beds, natural and warm wooden tables and cabinets. The overall design is elegant and refreshing, creating a modern urban living atmosphere.
Public areas such as reception rooms, hallways and dining rooms are decorated with contemporary art works from local and globally-sourced artists, adding an artistic touch to daily life.
Another highlight of the apartment is the rich technology elements. A wide range of smart devices make complex and busy urban life simple and convenient.
In the morning, smart home appliances automatically adjusts the indoor temperature and humidity, so that you can wake up to a beautiful day; later in the morning, while you are away working in the office, the housekeeper and dog walker use a special invitation code to enter your home and provide services; at noon, your mobile phone may receive a message telling you that your delivery has arrived; in the afternoon, you can enjoy a cup of coffee while checking the availability of equipment in the gym and booking a table in the restaurant downstairs; in the evening, if you are expecting friends at home, they can use a shared password to enter the apartment...
Looking through the apartment's massive glass windows, you can see the famous Space Needle, a landmark in Seattle; the beautiful and quiet Lake Union, the lively tourist destination Pike Place Market, and even Mount Rainier located 90 km away.
Here, you can enjoy the transition of the four seasons, breathe freely with the city and depict an ideal urban life with your families.
You can fall in love with a city because of one person;
Or, because of a lifestyle.
