Seattle, WA | multifamily residential mixed-use | 4 live-work units | 61 apartments | 80,000 SF

Dexter Hayes is a six-story mixed-use building on a sloped site in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Divided into six connected masses around an open-air courtyard, the building terraces with the hillside to minimize its street-level presence and capture views of Lake Union and downtown.

Exterior walkways and open-air stairs link the units and common spaces, creating circulation that supports natural ventilation, daylight, and social connection away from the busy street. The project includes flats, two-story townhouses, and live-work units, with layouts shaped by the site to maximize views and livability.

Passive ventilation is supported by operable windows on both sides of each unit, and green roofs provide rooftop landscaping and manage stormwater. At street level, a setback and pedestrian access gallery with layered landscaping establish a human-scaled frontage along a major urban corridor.
