Building Vibrant, Engaged housing for the Swinomish Tribal Community

Tallawhalt Housing | Swinomish, WA

Set within a rural hilltop tribal housing community, Environmental Works and Cascade Design Professionals designed 16 two- and three-bedroom homes to meet the needs of families and elders of the Swinomish Tribal community. Single-family home lots accommodate two residences per lot, reducing impacts on the site and encouraging a vibrant connected community. The homes were designed with structural insulated panels, heat recovery ventilators, and healthy flooring surfaces, contributing to the Housing Authority’s goals for long-term durability, a healthy indoor environment, and low costs for residents.
