Community Roots Housing

Seattle, Washington

The project provides 88 units of workforce housing, two performing arts venues, vibrant ground floor retail and restaurant space, incubator office space for non-profit organizations, and a secure underground parking facility for police officers of the East Precinct. The main entry is pulled back from the sidewalk, creating an outdoor plaza. An undulating veil of fenestration above also serves as the building marquee.
