Shared Roof - Seattle, WA

Shared Roof, a new mixed-use apartment building in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge neighborhood, may initially appear to be like many other similarly scaled projects being built around town, but its unique backstory are poised to create a new model of family-oriented living. Developed by a collection of ten friends and families intent on living collaboratively, Shared Roof is founded on the principle of shared resources. Beyond the 5,000 SF of ground floor retail is a public 1,500 SF courtyard open to both 70th Street and Greenwood Avenue. The orientation of this space allows for easy flow of pedestrian traffic and ties the building not only to the main thoroughfare, but also to the residential neighborhood beyond it. Above, the interior courtyard provides access to all the units on levels two through five, providing an active European-style space while encouraging community within the building. The opportunities to build organic relationships continues onto the fully-occupiable roof that includes a greenhouse available for residents to use.
