Multiple tweaks for Seattle's multifamily code
A 16-unit affordable housing project for First Place Schools takes advantage of many new features of the code to create affordable, in-city housing for homeless families. Reduced setbacks allow the housing to form a courtyard at the heart of the project, providing a place for residents to safely interact. Removal of mandatory parking requirements, in this case, meant elimination of all but one of the parking spaces, which in turn created significant savings that could be re-purposed for sustainable design features and amenities for residents.
