Six new townhouses are constructed to take advantage of mountain views to the west.
The owner of a lot in West Seattle wanted to build the maximum number of units on the site. The Seattle Land Use Code allowed six units, up to three stories tall. Except for the unit cantilevered above the front driveway, the lower level of each townhouse incorporates a single car garage, a den and an entry (in the cantilevered unit it is just a garage and entry). On the main level of all the units is an open concept living/dining/kitchen space plus a pantry and powder room. The upper level includes a master bedroom, second bedroom, bathroom and laundry closet. From this level, stairs lead up to private roof decks to take advantage of amazing Olympic Mountain Views.
Careful planning of the spaces helps avoid the feeling that these townhomes are made up of a series of tiny spaces. Small spaces like the powder room, closets, and pantry are tucked in and around the stairs to leave wide open spaces with light penetrating the interiors from the front and rear of the townhomes.
