The Danforth | Seattle, WA

Sitting at the busy convergence of First Hill, Capitol Hill, and Seattle University, the Danforth is a stately high-rise adorned with nearly 2,000 lin. ft. of AS&D Aluminum Railings and 150 lin. ft. of custom-fabricated Divider Screens.

 

Each floor features AS&D’s sturdy Flat Top TR200 Railing with a classic picket, custom colored glass and flat aluminum panel infill and a clean custom color finish that complements the building’s exterior design. Finishing off the outdoor living spaces are custom aluminum divider screens designed and manufactured by AS&D exclusively for the project.

 

The use of a traditional picket infill was deliberate; it’s safety and durability didn’t interfere with the Danforth’s modern design, and yet it still created a sequestered area with necessary protection and privacy. This combination of Flat Top TR200 railing and picket infill was used on the balconies and the system was also installed on the Danforth’s rooftop area with spectacular 360° views, to section-off the urban lawn space.

 

With the Danforth winning second place for the NAIOP’s 2019 High Rise of the Year Award, AS&D Aluminum Railing Systems and custom Divider Screens prove they offer the necessary design elements to enhance any project – no matter the size or scope.
