January 31, 2009. Seattle, Washington. Dwell Development is one of a select group of Seattle Design + Build firms that have risen to the top during a very challenging period in the local and national real estate markets. They have established a strong brand identity and have set a high bar for residential infill development with their skillful blend of design, quality, environmentally friendly building practices and community involvement.
Dwell has been dotting the urban landscape with their striking designs since 2005 with a simple goal of creating positive additions to Seattle’s neighborhood communities. They have chosen to focus on areas with strong connections to public transportation, a high degree of walkability, and an elevated sense of community involvement.
With recent code revisions that allow for Backyard Cottages to be constructed on conforming lots citywide, Dwell is proud to announce a complete service for individual homeowners who would like to take advantage of all the benefits of Backyard Cottages and do so with the high design they have come to expect from this boutique design + build firm. This “Dwell in a box” approach will enable homeowners to increase the value of their home, provide affordable housing, generate income, and provide for aging family members, amongst a host of additional benefits. They will work closely with homeowners to manage the permitting, design, construction, and finishing details; all within an affordable budget.
Dwell has made a conscious decision to grow slow, to make better homes that constantly strive for increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact. They have always highly prioritized their emphasis on design and have stuck to that vision with every step. “We want to be known for making the coolest homes, for making designs that inspire and surprise people” says Dwell Founder Anthony Maschmedt. He continues “we build our homes to be as efficient and environmentally friendly as we possibly can, and try to improve on those goals with each new project. Building green means building better, add great design and we think we are building the best homes in the city”.
Dwell continues to create hip, urban homes and is under construction on their latest project 1105 Dwell, scheduled for completion in April 2010. They have uniquely prepared themselves to provide Seattle’s urban homeowners with an opportunity to contribute to increased population density and to make positive contributions to their communities. They see that they are in a position to make a broader impact on thoughtful, forward thinking development outside of the speculative residential market and are excited for what the future will hold.
