However, it does lack the purpose and clarity of other architectural expressions that are aimed at this budget area. Thinking about that in terms of FLW's Usonian buildings (now 60 years ago) you see that much more can be accomplished with much less. There is nothing particularly good about this project either. The one detail that bugs me tremendously is this external tube running down the back of the building. What is up with that?

This project was most likely heavily driven by a typical developer by cutting corners and purposefully lacking an attention to good detailing. I saw the interior as the only thing going for this project.....in order to sell. But I agree.....it's not all that hot. that is all. Bo Lucky:

To answer Lucky, code does not allow access in the manner you describe. The window in the bathroom cooment I assume that is a shear wall so no penetration would be allowed. I like their work because unlike 99% of what is on this site they are showing modern can be brought to the masses, instead of million dollar homes (which have million dollar details) they create homes below $200 a sqft which is almost impossible in Seattle. I agree I would love to see some of the details from other projects but I know they are not affordable. I am an architect in Seattle as well and am really inspired by Pb’s work.

There's nothing really interesting and unique about it. I've seen this type of work numerous times. I dont know about this project. There’s nothing really interesting and unique about it.
