Modular Construction as an Innovative Solution addressing the Affordable Housing Crisis

A vanguard project in the state for modular construction, Kirkland Avenue Modular (also known as Kirkland Avenue Townhomes / KAT) are the largest publicly funded affordable housing project in Washington to be built using modular construction.
The project provides fourteen (14) 2-bedroom townhomes and four (4) 3-bedroom flats for low income families and veterans. The interior layout features an open plan for kitchen, living and dining – offering ample daylight and cross ventilation. The exterior design celebrates the modular construction by featuring a split gable at the 14’ module width. The townhomes are offset 4’ to create a contemporary interpretation of the archetypal house.
