For the Filipino Community Village Phase I in South Seattle, Rolluda Architects designed a 
dynamic mixed-use destination that anchors a diverse multicultural region. We seamlessly 
integrated a 5,000 sf community learning center and vibrant retail spaces with 71,000 
sf of dedicated low-income housing for seniors and families. Every square foot of this 
development is rooted in rigorous sustainability and healthy building principles, utilizing 
eco-conscious material selections to ensure long-term operational efficiency and a 
nurturing environment for all residents.

​

To bring this project to life, Rolluda Architects facilitated inclusive, interactive programming sessions that engaged a broad coalition of elders, youth, and neighborhood organizations. We tailored our engagement methods to ensure that every voice, viewpoint, and cultural need was heard and honored. This immersive process did more than shape the final blueprints; it gave the community genuine ownership of their space, resulting in an enduring landmark where residents find a profound sense of safety, pride, and belonging.

The Filipino Community Village won 2nd place in the Affordable Housing category at the 2022 Senior Housing News Architecture & Design Awards (SHNA).
