Design Package Selection

Designer interiors

Our interiors include designer-approved materials and finishes for your entire home. For pre-construction homebuyers, they are the ideal starting point from which to make optional upgrades.
Smart Plans Smaller Footprint

Our award-winning team of architects and designers behind our collection of cottage-style homes designed smart plans that live large on a smaller footprint. From double-height living rooms to optimal window placement, we considered every detail to maximize livability and create a sense of openness.

Elevated Features

With elevated amenities and finishes, our small-footprint homes still make room for a high-end living experience. You’ll find full-size kitchens with quartz countertops and large pantries, center islands with bar seating and discreet, under-counter microwaves, private outdoor space, smart home controls, and much more. (Features vary per plan).

Clever Storage

By strategically utilizing every inch of space, our cottage-style homes offer ample storage to support a modern lifestyle, including tall kitchen cabinetry that takes advantage of the available vertical space, double-door pantries, under-stair closets, and walk-in closets, per plan.

Pocket Neighborhoods

Many of our cottage-style homes are built in small clusters, creating pocket neighborhoods. Connected by common walkways and green spaces, these homes promote greater community, support, and security while bringing you closer to Seattle’s coolest areas.

These homes are built in neighborhoods across Seattle that are well-connected to the city and appealing to students, young families, and professionals. With proximity to local amenities, public transportation, business hubs, the University of Washington, and outdoor recreation, our cottage-style homes offer the convenience of city-living with the benefits of a single-family home.

We offer both detached and attached options for our cottage-style homes. Our modern, two-story designs and open-concept floorplans ensure maximum utilization of space and privacy for homeowners.

Pocket neighborhoods are small clusters of detached cottage-style homes built around a shared common area.

These homes can be found in Seattle’s coolest neighborhoods. Each neighborhood in which we build is carefully selected for its proximity to amenities and everyday conveniences, such as grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and access to outdoor recreation.
