Conceived as a compact investment property on a constrained alley site in Seattle’s Pinehurst neighborhood, the Wren was designed to maximize livability, privacy, and spatial openness within a modest footprint. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home utilizes a reverse floor plan, placing the primary suite and main living spaces on the upper level to capture vaulted ceilings, natural light, and expansive territorial views while creating a greater sense of volume throughout the core living areas.
