Selbourne Lane Townhomes in Kent

Kent, WA - 22 new townhomes in Kent surround a restored wetland


The design of this twenty-two townhome community began with the idea of taking advantage of a naturally occurring stream that ran through a culvert in the middle of the site. By exposing the stream and redeveloping the wetlands around the stream, a natural resource was preserved and a feature was added to the site for the residents to enjoy. A meandering road and sidewalk with a bridge crossing the stream provides access to the entire site.

To take advantage of views of Mt. Rainier and other specific site conditions, almost every home has a unique floor plan. The townhomes incorporate features like bay windows, asymmetrical roofs, covered entries, and dormers to give each home individual character, but also provide the community with a consistent overall feel.

The design also included the landscape walls and entry features to the site. Landscape design by Tom Zachary.
