SPOKANE SIX

MULTIFAMILY HOUSING — MIDDLE HOUSING — SIX-PLEX — PNW ARCHITECTURE

SPOKANE, Washington

The Spokane Six is one of the first new examples of a stacked flat middle housing project being developed in an established residential neighborhood.
The building is six 1000 sq.ft. 2 bedroom 2 bath apartments organized around a single stair. Each unit has access to light and air on three sides with an eight foot deep porch on the street front. As a compact rectangle, it leans into conventional framing, with a slab-on-grade foundation and trussed roof—all of which contribute to a low cost per square foot. It features extra attic insulation to minimize heat loss, resulting in significant energy savings over the building's lifespan.

Two of the units are rent-restricted workforce housing.

Homes feature:

  • Ample windows in bedrooms and living spaces for daylight and ventilation

  • Room-sized private porches

  • High-efficiency building systems with heat pump heating/cooling 

  • Enhanced indoor air quality 

  • Energy Star Appliances and in-unit Laundry

  • 6 Parking spaces and EV Charging

  • Building materials with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and high recycled content

  • Landscape design featuring drought-tolerant native plants
