Rainier Beach Family Housing
2022
Design Studio
Located in the diverse and vibrant neighborhood of Rainier Beach in southeast Seattle, Rainier Beach Family Housing (RBFH) is a mixed-use residential and commercial development aiming to bring housing and public spaces for different age groups, thereby building intergenerational connections in the urban environment. In response to the diverse demographic, existing infrastructure, and future development, RBFH will become part of the urban fabric at the center of Rainier Beach, serving both the residents and the community at large.
The diverse demographic and high percentage of households with children indicate the need of family housing options in Rainier Beach, which also provides opportunity for more age-focusd ground floor programs.
