innovative Multi-Family Housing developments

Green Diamond Tower - Bellevue, Washington

Principal Architect Randal Ehm is developing this project in downtown Bellevue, just east of Seattle. This 128-unit luxury condominium tower is oriented to ensure view preservation in anticipation of future development in the Downtown Core.   The units offer sweeping views of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle to the West, Mt. Baker to the north, the Cascade Mountains to the east and Mt. Rainier to the south. With a ground-floor upscale restaurant and multi-colored glass the structure will become a prominent feature on the Bellevue skyline from northbound Interstate 405.

Shorewood Tower - Vancouver, Washington

This 18-story, 178,000 square foot condominium tower was designed for a site along the historic Columbia River Gorge in the Pacific Northwest. The 275-foot high building affords views down the Gorge with Mt. Hood in the distance, and offers panoramic views of Portland, Oregon as well as downtown Vancouver. Eleven unique unit plans range from 1,800 to 7,500 square feet. Each floor plate is broken into three sections to allow for dramatic interiors with floor level changes.

This landmark site demanded a landmark design response. The conceptual design for the project evolved through our consideration of the totem pole as representing the origins of true Northwest Style. A brave sentinel facing west stands guard over the Gorge with feathered headdress and five-story breastplate, a Native American maiden, wife of the sentinel, scans the fertile valleys of Central Washington. An Anglo woodsman in the form of a vertical tower peers out over the river, keeping a watchful eye over the area’s natural resources. Together they offer strength, comfort and prosperity, symbolizing unity among once-disparate peoples.

Shorewood Condominiums - Vancouver, Washington

This 82-unit luxury condominium project was designed as a mid-rise alternative to Shorewood Tower, on the same site. The blufftop property overlooks the Columbia River, and has panoramic views of Portland, downtown Vancouver, the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood.

Project amenities include a rooftop pool, spa and outdoor kitchen, a Fitness Center and meeting rooms. The building design includes a subterranean parking garage with personal storage space.
