Seattle Architects Showcase Multifamily Housing

"As the Seattle area grows and land gets ever scarcer, it will become increasingly true that a home is not always a house. Instead it may be a new apartment in a high-rise, a condominium in a recycled building or subsidized housing. It may be co-housing or a town home in the suburbs. Architects and planners already know density is the direction new construction increasingly is taking, and many are committed to making it as appealing as possible. So is the American Institute of Architects/Seattle chapter, which is inviting the public to tour six projects in the area. These half-dozen projects, chosen from 13, make up the fifth annual Housing the Northwest multifamily home tour. Each was selected because it's in some way outstanding, be it in innovation, overcoming obstacles, straightforward good architecture, adding to neighborhood richness - or even in the case of a couple of projects, creating neighborhood."
