Refugee Women's Alliance
Seattle, Washington

The Refugee Women's Alliance provides a wide range of services to Seattle's growing population of refugee women and their children. The building includes classrooms for English-as-a-second-language instruction, a computer room, childcare, offices, conference rooms, and interview/counseling rooms. The intention of the design is to provide a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment through the use of warm, residential character for the exterior of the building, as well as plantings native to the homelands of the families served.
