Kanepē Development Site

Kanepē is uniquely designed to promote natural interior light, as well as internal and external temperature regulation by making the existing, mature oak trees, as well as a 75’ Douglas Fir integral to its architecture. Additionally, Kanepē will be among the first buildings in Ballard to be built under Seattle’s new energy code, providing residents with the most efficient and comfortable heating, cooling and lighting systems. Within the new code, we’ll employ heat recovery ventilation systems with air filtering for improved air quality throughout the building, provide in unit heating and cooling using a localized heat pump system, capture solar energy to reduce pull from the city grid, and include LED lighting with remote controls that better utilize natural light.

Along with energy efficiency, FA Johnson Development, according to its primary tenets, is developing Kanepē with the utmost consideration for environmental impact – from the sourcing of quality and environmentally healthy materials, to taking every opportunity to reuse and recycle in the project construction phase. And finally, keen attention is given to floor plans of all residential, commercial and community spaces to ensure maximum space, ease of traffic flow, and quality interior design – all for better living, responsibly.
