Shared Roof
Shared Roof is a multifunctional housing project for multiple families in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood, which no longer considers housing as a collection of isolated units, but as a structure for coexistence. Designed by Johnston Architects (JA), the project responds to rising housing costs, social fragmentation, and environmental pressures by prioritizing community, resource efficiency, and long-term livability. The building comprises 35 apartments for families of different sizes and at different stages of life, allowing residents to continue living in the city while having access to public transportation, work, schools, and neighborhood services.
