Quantum Consulting Engineers provided the structural design and construction administration for the 78,500 square-foot mixed-use property found in the Little Saigon neighborhood of Seattle’s International District. An Lạc is six stories comprised of retail and office spaces as well as 69 affordable housing units. Developed by the Low Income Housing Institute to also function as their home office, it has won several awards including ‘2020 NAIOP Night of the Stars’ and DJC’s Project of the Week. The name ‘An Lạc’ was inspired by the Vietnamese term for tranquility. It offers sustainable design elements that focus on energy efficiency like rooftop solar panels, fresh air ventilation, green roof areas that reduce site runoff and specific landscaping that reduces irrigation needs. The building also provides a large roof deck with a panoramic lookout.
