We designed this eight-unit middle-housing development in Shoreline, Washington, arranged as two parallel rows of four attached townhomes. The project addresses the demand for well-designed infill housing in the greater Seattle area at a neighborhood-compatible scale.

Each unit is three stories, ranging from 1,550 to 1,630 square feet, with a garage and flexible bedroom on the ground floor, living, kitchen, and office on the second, and the primary suite and a secondary bedroom on the third. The stacked organization keeps the floor plate compact while providing the option for Unit Lot Subdivision, therefore clean title for each homeowner.

The exterior palette layers light and dark gray horizontal Hardie siding with vertical light wood siding, dark brown metal cladding, and large-format dark brown Hardie panels — a material strategy that provides tonal depth and articulates individual units within a coherent overall composition. The color palette reminds me of some delicious coffee/pastry.

Our clients came to us with a clear vision: a 4,500 square foot home built around their life — warm, comfortable, and efficient, with two large four-legged companions very much part of the household and a future generation already in mind.

The design responds to the site from both directions. The street-facing elevation is composed for curb appeal and presence, while the rear opens generously toward the garden, where dining and living spaces spill outward to a large deck with outdoor dining space and fireside seating. The living experience is extended into the landscape and encourage year-round gathering.

Multiple roof configurations were studied before arriving at a pair of pitched roof forms that best respond to the Pacific Northwest climate. The twin gables efficiently shed rainwater and withstand the heavy debris from the mature trees surrounding the site, while concealed gutters maintain a clean and minimal architectural expression.

On the practical side, an oversized carport on the north end of the house provides full shelter for the clients’ RV — a deliberate accommodation rather than an afterthought.

The project is currently in development.
