A More Interesting Design

There are so many multi-unit housing developments going up in all areas of Seattle it is head spinning. This two year old project in the Wallingford neighborhood caught my eye because is was so refreshingly different in its design elements than most. The materials seem of better quality generally, and the detail of design shows some brains and thoughtfulness within a simple, relatively affordable small footprint. Hopefully it will age more gracefully than some of the larger slapped-up monstrosities I've passed in the U-District, Belltown, Ballard, West Seattle, Capitol Hill and South Lake Union neighborhoods probably will. JMHO, your mileage may vary, of course ;^)

That looks like a really cool building; I would totally live there! Yeah, my neghborhood has a lot of ugly townhomes going up.
