Multifamily Housing Design

Spokane, WA

PRESS specializes in designing modern multifamily architecture that attracts tenants and enhances the surrounding community. Our multifamily design approach is informed by over two decades of combined experience leading large scale housing developments.

Designing Sustainable Buildings for Vibrant Communities

Multifamily architecture includes walk up apartments, townhomes, podiums, and mixed use developments. These spaces have evolved from simple residential units into thoughtfully designed environments that foster connection, community, and well being. Today’s multifamily housing must seamlessly combine form and function to create places where residents feel comfortable and engaged.

PRESS takes a collaborative approach to multifamily design, working with developers to integrate smart solutions within the project budget - from affordable to market rate. Whether it’s a vibrant apartment building or a peaceful townhome community, our architectural solutions meet the needs of residents and property owners, ensuring lasting value and positive community impact.

USE CASES:

  • Market Rate Apartments: Modern communities designed to foster enhanced living experiences
  • Townhomes and Condos: High end residential units focused on comfort and style
  • Mixed Use Developments: Seamlessly integrated residential and retail spaces
  • Affordable Housing: Cost effective designs supporting housing initiatives

Testimonials

PRESS Architecture has been a great design-build partner to Bouten Construction. Drew and his team approach our projects with a collaborative mindset that helps ensure a smooth process for all. I look forward to working with PRESS on future projects and would highly recommend them.

Tanner Peterson

Drew worked with us to create four possible plans for a potential yield study of our property. He carried our desires and represented us well, all the way through to the pre-development meeting with the City. Very knowledgeable, highly motivated  to do excellent work, and connected with key people in the city, all of which makes him most recommendable as an architect in Spokane.

Jason Herman

I wasn't sure we'd need an architect for our basement finish, but once we met with the PRESS team I knew it was the right choice! They responded quickly to everything and made suggestions I never knew were possible. Totally worth it to have their professional perspective on our project.
