Article source: SHED Architecture & Design Located in Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood the Main Street House takes its name from the unimproved right of way and pedestrian path that bounds its site to the north.

The site affords partial views of Lake Washington, Leschi Park, and the surrounding terrain. Multifamily developments to the east and south conspire with the topography to create a fishbowl effect.

This was achieved through the arrangement of program and the composition of elements that work to focus views and extend enclosure beyond the building envelop.
