Catherine Barrett
Architecture: Religious, Commercial, and Chocolate
The Seattle Sephardic Brotherhood was my client from 1992 to 2000 for various projects at their cemetery on Highway 99 in Seattle. During those years I designed a cemetery directory kiosk, conducted a feasibility study for a new chapel and re-zoning, and finally designed a new chapel within the existing footprint, to which was added a new plaza, a 200-foot-long memorial wall, and other improvements to the grounds.
City People's Garden Store
This project was one of several for this client. We added a new facade, windows, skylights, and a trellis system to an existing wood shed building in Madison Park, Seattle.

Georgetown Service Center
This building had been the City Hall for Georgetown, a small community which was annexed to Seattle in the early-twentieth century. The clocktower had been removed after an earthquake in the 1960s. As Project Architect for Environmental Works, I led the design and construction of a new tower and of the remodeling of the interior to accommodate a service center, including a medical and dental clinic. The project won a Citation from the Seattle Landmarks Board.
