Forward Thinking Design
This new City Hall is the cornerstone of Union Gap's redevelopment goals. The building contains offices and support spaces for the city hall and police department. The council chambers fronts a new civic plaza designed to encourage public gatherings, while providing security through placement of concrete benches and trees, rendering auto access impassable.

This project was conceived as a single shed structure with a rigorous structural grid, exposed wood decking and glu-lam beams. Tucked inside the shed is the council chambers volume whose outer shell folds around to the north facing glass wall. The volume extends inside to create an intersection of architectural forms.
Welcoming and accessible council chambers are an important part of every city hall.
The building connects to its northwest roots through form and materiality, and announces the exciting future of Union Gap.
