Home for Good’s proposed design

Posted by Geeky Swedes on January 26th, 2009

At the Design Review Board meeting tonight, Home for Good presented its early proposal for an affordable green housing project at 1506 NW 62nd St. Home for Good is a non-profit striving to build “creative home ownership” projects throughout Seattle to “increase personal stability and community vitality.”

The proposal is for two structures: 1) a four-story building with 22 residential units and 700 sq. ft. of commercial space and 2) a two-unit residential townhouse-style building. There will be underground parking, and the existing single-family structures on the lot will be demolished. This is Home for Good’s first presentation to the board — they’ll be back in the coming weeks for another round. You can see the proposed design right here (.pdf file).

It does look interesting.
Has anyone worked with BuildingEquity.org before? I would love to hear more about who they are and so forth. I love a good story about people doing good, but their website doesn't tell me that tale.

The pdf is worth looking at. These guys are doing their homework on the site-analysis.

The early renderings show good promise. A much better start than the Market Street Monster. I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one...

I really don't understand how two large buildings will fit in those two lots or how more cars will fit on the street (even with the added garage).

If it is really affordable housing then I support it. I would prefer affordable rentals but condos would still be an improvement over what is being built today. Certainly it is no uglier than the guard tower proposed for Market.
