Located in Seattle, Washington, the townhomes designed by Wittman Estes are sited on the edge of the Highland Park neighborhood overlooking the Duwamish River.

Description
Wittman Estes was the architect, developer, and general contractor for Tsuga Townhomes??a three unit multifamily urban infill housing community with a single home and a two unit duplex. Certified as 4 Star Built Green, the eco-friendly housing includes green roofs, reclaimed fir stairs, and high efficiency energy systems, and was built for under $200/SF. Located in Seattle, Washington, the townhomes are sited on the edge of the Highland Park neighborhood overlooking the Duwamish River. The dense cluster of three units at the intersection of zones where single family houses transition to 4-story apartment buildings is representative of the historic neighborhood?s evolution from small, single family worker houses built at the turn of the century to higher density urban infill townhomes. The three dwellings are oriented towards the adjacent green areas which provides an experience with sunlight, glimpses of nature, and access to the outside onto decks and terraces. The site plan, which includes a series of green roofs and bioretention planters, captures rainwater for plantings and reduces runoff. The design team selected energy efficient mechanical systems, went beyond the code for insulation, and achieved certification for Four Star Built Green.
