We’ve been working on a house on the shores of Lake Washington near Seward Park. It will feature some fantastic window walls, plenty of outdoor living space, and an interior bridge over the living room/entry to connect the dual suites upstairs. More to come!…
In collaboration with Seattle Tilth, the Friends of R.B.U.F.W., and the Berger Partnership, CAST will be designing an urban farm in Seattle. The site is a former municipal nursery in Rainier Beach–10 acres of mostly wetland with some hoop houses at the north end. We’ll be undertaking the challenge to not only make a model for urban agriculture, we’ll also be greatly increasing the ecological function of the wetlands.
This project is in one of the most diverse zip codes in the nation, and we’ll be involving the community to shape the design, as well as creating facilities for small scale commercial farmers, entrepreneurs, and other programs such as Seattle Youth Garden Works. The hope is to make a community hub centered on growing and sharing food.
The first community design meeting is June 19th on site (time TBD). Please come and share your vision with us!
We helped out a great organization, Orphans to Ambassadors with a pro bono design and donation for a chicken coop to help feed 423 orphans at the Institute for Women’s Excellence in Rwanda. During the month of May, they build the coop, some rocket stoves, and some rainwater harvesting projects for this and other orphanages in the area. Great work!
Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to help out with more their future projects!
Please support them with a donation!
