R 4 it <br /> T t <br /> Figure 17 View to the South from Timberman Trails <br /> Millwright District-The design character of the Millwright District is intended to be indicative of the <br /> maritime environment, but would include more classic materials, detailing and bold forms. The district <br /> theme pays tribute to the mill town heritage of Everett, and anchoring the east end of the Millwright <br /> District at the icon building is the Workman's Clock Tower that provides a vertical beacon into the <br /> district.A large clock tower inspired by the original work of the Day Time Register symbolizes the long <br /> history of Everett mills along the waterfront. The clock is the central gateway feature and symbol of <br /> the project as Waterfront Place is viewed from above or when entering the site on 13th Street. The <br /> clock is located slightly off-center where the street "Y's" to emphasize its informality. Rows of <br /> pyramidal shaped trees along 13th Avenue reinforce the clock tower as a single focal point at the entry <br /> into the district. The Workman's Clock is depicted in illustrations for the purposes of planning, but the <br /> final version will come as a result of an artists' competition. In the public realm, a feature of this area is <br /> the four trails leading to four courtyards, two North to South and two East to West above pedestrian <br /> stairs and pathways connecting the lush internal gardens within the four centrally located towers of <br /> office, housing and retail production. The access stairs (or building elevators) lead up to the courtyards <br /> that are 13-14 feet above street level and offer expansive views over the water; Everett's version of <br /> Seattle's Harbor Steps. Each of the courtyards is programmed and designed differently to provide a <br /> variety of neighborhood spaces, including a pocket park, playground, and hardscape patio with a small <br /> water feature. As an elevated trail it functions as a perch for looking out over the marina and people <br /> watching on the streets below and a quiet refuge from traffic. <br /> 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines - 58- <br />
