After hearing feedback from both the community and the Southwest Design Review Board, The Kenney Chief Executive Officer Kevin McFeely has asked the project architects to redesign The Kenney's remodel and maintain the Seaview building.
The Seaview building, which is best known for its cupola and place in the West Seattle skyline, is a historic landmark. During previous Early Design Guidance meetings architects explained that the building was too small to serve as modern residences.
But now, McFeely said the building will be used for office, dining and community space. It will be relocated to a more prrominent position on Fauntleroy Way Southwest and Southwest Myrtle Street.
The Kenney design team will also alter their design to move more of the building's masses to the center of the project, away from streets and sidewalks.
These changes will be presented to the community at the next Early Design Guidance meeting on May 14, 6:30 p.m. at location to be determined.
A community engagement meeting will also be held on May 4, 7:30 p.m. at the Fauntleroy Church.
