Located in eclectic Greenwood, the Bogtown Flats offer warm familiarity and bit of the unexpected. Named after the location’s beginnings as a bog, the area was once considered unbuildable. Navigating a high water table and the incredibly steep terrain created design challenges which required divergent thinking. We also wanted to design a building that would feel like townhomes and not dominate the single-family houses in the community.
Due to the difficult soil and topography, there aren’t many apartment buildings in the vicinity like Bogtown Flats. Walking along newer sections of Greenwood’s sidewalk-less streets shows the dramatic change in the neighborhood. Now there are art walks, coffee shops and murals—one of which is on the side of our building.
We responded thoughtfully to these unique circumstances. The Greenwood facade has a series of bay windows that allows one to see-through, acting as an architectural community builder. The lobby becomes akin to a home base in the middle of a well-planned puzzle. Material transitions help to conceptually unify the space with its varied surroundings.
Bogtown’s units, including several loft options, offer expansive living space with oversized west-facing windows that allow in an abundance of light and views up and down the street. Features include cedar-slat juliet balconies and fully landscaped patios. A stunning sky lounge and large rooftop retreat offer views of the Olympics; as well as barbecues, yoga space and fire pits. There is also a bourbon lounge which houses Bogtown’s own bourbon label.
