FAUNTLEROY TOWNHOMES
TOWNHOMES
WEST SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
11,000 S.F.SITE / 6 UNITS: 2 EXISTING HOMES & FOUR NEW TOWNHOMES: 8,927 G.S.F.

A unique zoning solution locates these “alley cats” behind existing single-family homes. These duplex buildings host four 1,600 s.f. townhomes. The informality of the alley entry is countered with a dignified symmetrical facade and a semi-public porch and sidewalk. Tuck under parking was abandoned in favor of more flexible / useable ground floor spaces. The units present a light filled 20’ wide living level and flexible twin master bedrooms on the upper level. Traditional forms and materials are used in modern ways throughout, which promote the relationship to the immediate context and make the project competitive for first time buyers.
