Carbon 56 is a contemporary condominium building located in the Denny Triangle neighborhood of Seattle. Designed with a modern aesthetic, the building features a mix of horizontal metal siding and large glass windows, giving it a sleek and urban look. This five-story building houses 56 units, offering a variety of living spaces with the ground level  utilized for commercial purposes or communal spaces.

This apartment building is framed over a 3-level post-tensioned concrete parking garage. Flat slab construction provided for efficient, low-profile framing that fit within zoning height restrictions and allowed room for the penthouse. A soldier pile shoring wall and a partial pile foundation was used to utilize the entire lot and account for areas of deep fill that existed on site. The shotcrete placement method was used to reduce formwork and accelerate construction.
