'In total the proposed [Roosevelt Station] rezones would increase the neighborhood’s capacity for development by over 600 housing units'

climate. arson.

buildingconnections.seattle.gov/2011/08/01/pro…
'The zoned capacity of over 40 dwelling units / net acre is in line with the 20 – 75 dwelling units / net acre found in demonstrated models of great TOD around transit stations in similar neighborhoods'

i can't believe planners wrote this.
'The zoning originally approved by DPD would allow about 350 new units of housing in the area around the station above and beyond what the current zoning allows.'

i wonder why we can't meet our climate goals?

would you live in a large family friendly cooperative, next to a park, with a variety of housing units (studios to 6-BR cluster apartments), with a car-free middle, playgrounds, massive balconies, and ample bike parking

like this?

common rooms all over the place - can be used for music rooms, meetings. a larger room is available for use by wider community.

guest rooms so you don't need larger apartments...

starting to think development in this country is really bad, you guys...
the land is owned by the city of bern

the developer is a swiss non-profit

the project procurement was through a design competition, not a 'request for proposal'

the brief called out for high quality projects, innovation in construction, mix of unit types and affordability.

the ROW is 66' wide at woodland park ave N

it's jarring that the buildings here are so low...

it used to be a streetcar ROW (i know what you're thinking - even more reason for multifamily buildings here...) ImageImage
but here's the thing about a 66' wide, rarely used ROW...

we could do 2 things

1. we could close it off and turn it into open space, with limited access for adjacent homeowners.

which would actually be kinda rad because you're in a valley here, have to climb to get to parks
2. you could copy/paste this energy positive, prefab-friendly, social housing down the middle of every block.

it's a whopping 29'-6" deep. this would leave space for cars on one side (12') and a massive, wide sidewalk on the other :)

the KPOe in graz pushed for the land at the hummel baracks (hummelkaserne) to be used for social housing.

there is now a massive mass timber passivhaus complex by sps architekten there

kpoe-graz.at/hummelkaserne-…
also this mass timber stunner of a cooperative in graz... holzbauaustria.at/architektur/20…
just random thoughts related to this...

its been almost a decade since CREE's LCT ONE opened (prefab mass timber passivhaus midrise)
prefab mass timber passivhaus multifamily (1997)

it's interesting to me that in the US, we're adding new apartments at the ground level of existing buildings - because in such poor foresight, this area was space for cars.

whereas in DE/AT - they're adding new apartments above the existing roof level, even in newer buildings.
there are some really intriguing projects by @OpenScopeStudio/@markasaurus that have been infilling multifamily ADUs in former garage/storage spaces. openscopestudio.com/multifamily-ad…
but in built up cities that aren't dominated by detached houses - there's a lot of potential for new housing.

TU darmstadt study found that an additional 1,5 million new homes could be added to existing buildings by vertical additions (aufstockungen)
