Project Description

SE Group collaborated with Seattle-based architects Shugart-Bates to create an active landscape as part of an urban infill condominium project. The client, Home For Good, is a Not-For-Profit company working to create affordable, for ownership, housing that is sustainable, strongly rooted in the community, and well-designed for both the residents and the neighborhood.
As part of the Ballard Neighborhood project, creating both public and private spaces on the small 60×100 foot parcel provided an intriguing design challenge. The resulting landscape includes community gardens, rainwater irrigation and cisterns, green roofs and addresses the complexities of the “Green Factor” regulations imposed by the City of Seattle.
The Ballard Neighborhood project strives to enhance the community by creating viable and thoughtful community-based residential design through materials, massing, public open space, sustainable building and innovative site design.
