This modern house situated at 160 Crockett St. Seattle, redesigned by Dave Biddle and Chris Pardo from Pb Elemental Architecture. The primary focus was to build a house that reflected their passion for modern urban living. The site itself was challenging in both its small size and multifamily zoning. The surrounding area is an eclectic mix of charming craftsman homes and apartment buildings. Early on the decision was made to go with surface parking rather than a garage to both allow more space for the home and avoid the “garage door dominated” front façade look. The final design was realized through the creation of three simple elements; a horizontal volume, a vertical volume and a folded plane. The private program elements, there are bedrooms & bathrooms located in the two volumes while the public areas were contained within the interstitial spaces created when the three elements were combined.
