Seattle, WA
The Linden’s design was informed by the site, a long but narrow urban infill lot located in North Seattle. The project locates 95 percent of the common open space in two rooftop gardens with views of the surrounding area for optimal access to sunlight. Linden Avenue itself is the only remaining part of the old Interurban streetcar line with its widened street frontage to which the project responds by fronting its retail space and residential entry towards the street. All unit interiors are adorned in modern appointments and Energy Star appliances.
