The Winston Townhomes seek to blend into an iconic Seattle neighborhood, a mix of small scale commercial and retail buildings, single family houses, and historically significant public buildings. The project is designed to fit gracefully into this eclectic mix of scales, uses, and vintages. Designed to connect the pedestrian scale of the street to the residential scale of the Ravenna neighborhood, the project divides 16 units into four, three-story buildings grouped around a shared landscaped courtyard with private parking below. Natural daylighting and direct solar heating is maximized in the courtyard by orienting it along a north/south axis. This creates a pleasant and inhabitable shared space. Each residence has private patio space that faces into the courtyard and additional private outdoor amenity spaces accessed from within the unit. Raised front entry stoops along Ravenna Avenue, perforated brick walls framing the project entry, and street facing facades composed of brick and cedar create a visually tactile experience for residents and neighbors evocative of the rich material vernacular of the Pacific Northwest.
