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