Old Town Lofts is a contemporary multi-family residential project in downtown Redmond, Washington, located just steps from the Downtown Redmond Light Rail Station. The development is conceived as a vibrant, transit-oriented community that balances urban energy with a refined residential experience.

Challenge

Situated within a rapidly evolving urban context, the project needed to accommodate density while maintaining a strong architectural identity and livable scale. The challenge was to create a building that felt modern and connected to its surroundings—responding to transit, walkability, and emerging neighborhood amenities—while offering residents a sense of comfort and quality.

Solution

As architectural concept designer, we developed the project’s core massing, organizational strategy, and overall architectural character. The building’s form and articulation establish a clear presence within the neighborhood while supporting efficient residential layouts and active ground-level engagement. Proximity to light rail, trails, dining, and retail reinforces the project’s role as a connected urban hub, designed to support an active, car-light lifestyle.

Materials + Craft

Thoughtful detailing and contemporary materials define the building’s exterior expression, while interiors emphasize durability, light, and functionality. Residential units feature clean finishes and open layouts, complemented by shared amenities including a fitness center, resident clubhouse, landscaped outdoor spaces, and integrated retail. LEED certification and transit-oriented siting further reinforce the project’s commitment to sustainable urban living.
