Seattle has been home one of the nation’s hottest housing markets for years. And with all that growth comes questions around urban density, affordability and how to address growing housing needs. Big Mouth House is an answer to those questions from Best Practice Architecture. Developed by three Seattle architects, this multi-family project is an example of what versatile, forward-thinking, multi-family living can look like. Transformed from a single-family Central District residential lot, the project encompasses three townhomes (one unit at 1,850 sf and two units at 1,420 sf each). Each unit is a flexible urban home with a studio space, the main living area, and a rooftop deck to enjoy unbeatable views.
once complete in 2020, the site will include a department store, a 5-star 72 room-hotel, 96 social housing units, offices, and a children’s nursery.
