The 2022 Seattle Design Festival took place in August with the Block Party in South Lake Union, and LMN Architects was pleased to join the festivities with the Equipoise Pavilion.

Rooted in Pacific Northwest summertime, Equipoise seeks to embrace two identities intrinsically tied to our regional culture: the celebrated pastimes of sailing and camping. Though differing in objective and venue, these activities share a deep connection and engagement with the outdoors. Whether out on the Salish Sea or among vast evergreen forests, these activities exchange the hustle and flow of urbanity for the solitude of yesteryear. Drawing upon the tectonic and material languages of these outdoor pursuits, Equipoise provides both shelter and monument, a space both within and among, a moment both grounded and liberating.
