Located in the Shoreline Urban Development District, the River Street Lofts were designed for professionals working in the nearby downtown area. Each two-story dwelling unit is built above its own garage. The ten units are divided between two buildings separated by a common driveway entry. 

The design presents a human-scale building that blends with the context of the revitalization occurring in the area. The units use an exterior wall assembly constructed with insulated concrete forms. This highly energy efficient system is also used for the demising wall between each unit. This system achieves a high degree of thermal insulation and sound deadening capability. 

The exterior share of the building is vertical in nature with an offsetting roodline at the front and back overhangs. The exterior skin of the buildings is a combination of stucco and rusted-metal design. The same metal is used for the soffit of the upper level balconies.
