Phinney Ridge Residence: An Elegant and Vertical Home with Three Levels

This elegant and vertical home is located on the footprint of the site’s previous house, utilizing zoning guidelines that were grandfathered into the urban neighborhood in Seattle. Phinney Ridge Residence is a residential project by Coates Design Architects that was built on three levels.
