This project is a 3,750 sq.ft owner-occupied three-unit apartment building, located in Seattle, Washington. There are four primary considerations in the Colman Triplex design:
- Economy of space within strict land use limitations
- Variations in individual dwelling program and configuration
- Direct access to landscape and exterior space
- Exploration of the exterior cladding screen
The result is three separate dwellings that each provides direct and visual access to landscape and exterior space. The organization of the dwellings are free to rotate or flip as each flat responds directly to different program requirements and varying visual and physical landscape connections available at each level of the structure. This residential building has wrapped by a horizontal 1×4 exterior cladding rain-screen. Variations of the screen are used to preserve the initial figure and simplicity of the rectangular box.
