ALTERNATIVE INFILL
Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood
Architect: Brian Runberg and the Runberg Architecture Group
Builder: Brace Development
Construction cost/size: $1.1 million total/up to 2,095 square feet; three bedrooms, two and a half baths each
The intent: This site, behind a one-story office building on an arterial in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, used to be occupied by a warehouse. It could have been redeveloped into a 20-unit apartment building. Instead, Runberg saw it as an opportunity to provide four high-end condominiums to help meet Seattle's "need for unique and alternative infill housing." Selling for half a million dollars and up, the four condos occupy two buildings sited around a cobblestone courtyard. Each provides three levels of living space atop a two-car garage. Interiors pay homage to the neighborhood's older homes via such traditional finishes as cherry hardwoods and crown moldings.
