ROXBURY HOUSE RENOVATION
Seattle, Washington

Built in 1970, Roxbury House is part of the Turnkey project for the Seattle Housing Authority. The renovation of the building included reducing the total unit count from 150 to 130 by increasing the number of 1-bedroom units through the combination of studios. The renovation also included a south-facing sun room/lobby addition, an addition of a patio room at the basement level, a new feature stair connecting the first floor to the basement to create a more inviting community space, and a complete redesign of the site to achieve a park-like setting. A majority of the building systems and finishes also received upgrades.

Once the renovation is complete, Roxbury House (to be called Westwood Heights) will be a low-income near-elderly residence for individuals over 55 years of age.
