Boulders at Greenlake
2004 - A century old farmhouse, renovated during the Boulders at Greenlake project, provided style cues for the nine three-story “sibling” townhomes built up around it. The development, nestled in the Greenlake neighborhood, blends old and new styles of architecture, exemplifying the ways that familiar forms can come into the present through re-invention and innovation.
The gabled roofs reflect neighborhood architecture but the homes are distinguished by cedar siding and modern detailing. Inside, they feature beamed wooden ceilings, black metal windows and metal railings, heated concrete floors and stainless steal appliances. Eco friendly wool carpeting and low VOC paint are just two of the “green” aspects of this project and exemplify the masterful melding of classic styles with innovation.
The townhomes surround a courtyard adorned with granite boulders, a gushing waterfall that mutes traffic sounds and a majestic old Pine tree, providing a space for owners to build community and appreciate the aesthetic of nature that inspired the development.
This project was designed by Johnston Architects, a locally renowned firm and long-time collaborator with Parks Inc.
