Seven-unit, live/work project is his biggest 'sculpture' yet
Sculptor and teacher Tom Flood wants to put a “living building” on a corner in Madrona. A living fence will show graywater being treated on site.
Each live/work unit will have a green roof with room for vegetable gardens. Rainwater will be used for irrigation and solar-powered pumps will power a cistern beneath the courtyard.
Tom Flood is an unlikely developer. He is a sculptor who teaches at the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has also taught sculpting and welding at Madrona Auto, his vintage gas station-turned shop and studio at 34th Avenue and East Pike Street in Madrona.
