Seattle, WA | supportive housing | rehabilitation & adaptive reuse predevelopment study | 38,000 sf

Bushnaq Studio served as housing consultant for a three-phase pre-development study on the adaptive reuse of five historic buildings into a regional hub for supportive housing and wellness services for youth and young adults. Funded by the Washington State Department of Commerce, the study outlined programming needs and capital requirements to support phased redevelopment of the landmark Quarters buildings, located on Seattle’s 9 acre Pacific Tower campus, as youth-centered housing and community services

Led by SHKS Architects and a multidisciplinary programming team, the study combined capital assessment, stakeholder engagement, and program development to evaluate the conversion of the buildings—originally staff housing for a U.S. Marine Hospital—into housing, wellness, and service spaces. Bushnaq Studio contributed housing concepts, programming analysis, test fits, and code review, and provided support throughout the study.
