Crofton — Issaquah Highlands, WA
Living in a park is the theme of this cottage neighborhood. Centered on an avenue of mixed-use buildings, Crofton is a 20-acre, 282-unit master planned development in Issaquah Highlands that integrates single and multifamily housing with retail, offices, community facilities and live/work spaces. A sense of community is fostered by using homes to create and define open spaces and greens. Weber Thompson's planners used the site's topography, and characteristics to place the homes creating several distinct neighborhoods.
By divorcing car access from each lot, Weber Thompson strengthened ties between each cottage and the landscaped greens that surround it, creating a safer environment for families with young children and fostering interaction between neighbors. The meandering rows of homes and greens terrace down the hill and are connected by landscaped pathways.
