Case Studies

Featured Multifamily Projects

  Katharine's Place
This project for low income and homeless families shows the power of a committed owner, architect and builder. The project’s tight budget didn’t get in the way of including many green features, and creativity turned site challenges—a steep slope next to arterials—into amenities to residents. Read case study
     
  Nordheim Court
Divided into eight, low-rise buildings that focus inwardly on a pond and small urban forest, the UW's sustainably built student housing evokes an entirely different picture of student living than the large apartment blocks in the area.  Read case study
     
  Traugott Terrace
The nation's first LEED™-certified affordable housing is located in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. Built within a very tight budget, it is the first "clean and sober" affordable housing project of its kind developed in Washington.  Read case study
