LAKE SAMMAMISH
LAKE SAMMAMISH STATE PARK BATHHOUSE
Building Size: 5,432 SF Location: Issaquah, WA Project Type: Civic
Project Narrative: Lake Sammamish State Park’s new Bathhouse at Sunset Beach is organized around the fundamental principal of integrating the building with the landscape and the landscape with the building, blurring the distinctions between the two traditional disciplines. The architect’s competition winning Master Plan unifies the 512 acre park with a consistent and understandable language involving built and landscaped elements. The Bathhouse is a key element of the overall Master Plan for the park, it reinforces an edge along the shoreline of Lake Sammamish and animates a previously underutilized portion of the park. Built as a segment of a 500’ radius the Lake Sammamish State Park Bathhouse utilizes a concrete moment frame to enclose the building program: Food Concessions, Restrooms, Changing Areas, Flex Space, Life Guard Office and a Covered Outdoor Seating area are housed under the planted/photovoltaic roof assemblies. The concrete structure consists of recycled content and provides a durable structural system that supports the intensive green roof assembly and provides thermal mass for the interior spaces. The green roof is planted with local, droughtresistant plants that mitigate the stormwater runoff and reduce the heat island effect within the sensitive footprint of the park. Building integrated photovoltaic arrays allow dappled sunlight to enter the Flex Space and the Covered Outdoor Seating area while generating more electricity than the building uses during the summer months. The open joint rainscreen cladding system is reclaimed red wood salvaged from a dismantled 100 year old dam. The red wood remains unfinished and will weather and fade over time. The plantings in the rain garden are native and restorative in nature as part of Lake Sammamish State Park’s goal to feature as Washington’s signature park for protecting and celebrating urban natural areas, showcasing regionally significant wetlands and wildlife habitat, while enriching the lives of visitors and providing a valued legacy to future generations.

WHAT MAKES IT GREEN
GREEN ROOF
Sozinho Imagery©
PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY
RECLAIMED MATERIALS
RAIN GARDEN
ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING
GREEN ROOF Absorbes rainwater, provides insulation, creates a habitat for wildlife, and integrates the building with its natural landscape.
PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY 54 photovoltaic modules.
RECLAIMED REDWOOD Cladding the structure is reclaimed redwood from a dam.
RAIN GARDEN
Filters the pollutants out of stormwater and pollutants in the air; naturally cleaning our resources.
ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING All fixures are LED.
NATURAL VENTILATION Uses the forces of wind and buoyancy to deliver fresh air and increase thermal comfort.
