A unique take on cottage housing this new development on Seattle's Beacon Hill by microhouse uses an elevated walkway to connect these four houses.
Pervious paving and the grated walkway help reduce the amount of impervious site surfaces.
The elevated walkway provides a unique opportunity to have public circulation on one level passing over private yards below, resolves a difficult sloping site, and reduces the apparent scale of the houses.
The footprint of the Northern two houses (on the left) is a mere 16ft x 24ft. These houses feature 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. A real challenge but the end result is a home that feels airy and much bigger than its actual square footage.
Replacing cabinet uppers with pantry storage areas is super efficient and allows for windows over the counter area.
Affordable bamboo flooring provides added warmth and a nice contract to the contemporary finishes.
