LL Hawkins
View ImagesLL Hawkins, a six-story mixed-use building, occupies the eastern portion of Block 296 within the Con-Way Master Plan in NW Portland, which also includes Holst's Slabtown Marketplace project. The 125,000 sq. ft. building includes 114 apartments, 6 retail spaces, and 79 underground parking spaces for the apartment tenants. The variegated building facade breaks down the mass into smaller vertical elements, evoking an early 20th-century scale.
A new pedestrian accessway bifurcates the superblock and connects LL Hawkins to Slabtown Marketplace and the surrounding neighborhood. The edge of the accessway is flexible, with parking easily replaced by neighborhood-oriented block parties and special events. This project was a collaboration with GBD Architects.
