Located on a small triangular site where Bridge Way bisects the orthogonal street grid, Inspire Apartments explores high-performance building strategies while strongly defining the diagonal street edge and offering a unique urban living opportunity. The 6-story building generates 108% of the annual energy for its 42 residential units, and is the first multifamily building to participate in Seattle’s Living Building Pilot Program (LBPP). In exchange for environmental and social benefits, Inspire received 15% more FAR and 10 feet of additional height from the City of Seattle to increase value and offset development costs.
