Located at the intersection of northeast Bellevue and Redmond, Washington, Hyde Square transforms a former low-rise commercial center into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood. With 618 luxury units spread across four mid-rise buildings, Hyde Square blends high-density housing with a human-scale design that fosters a strong sense of community. The four buildings, arranged around landscaped courtyards, create a central walking path and a shared public space. Two cedar-and-brick pavilions anchor the site—one for wellness and leasing, the other for socializing and work. These pavilions draw residents and visitors in, connecting them to the outdoor spaces that define the development. By moving parking underground and focusing on pedestrian pathways, we reimagined the site from a car-centered complex to a people-friendly environment. The central roundabout serves as the entry point, with courtyards and amenity spaces—like the wellness and clubhouse pavilions—providing areas for fitness, relaxation, and community interaction. Materials like dark brick, cedar siding, and living roofs blend with the Pacific Northwest landscape, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The courtyards offer residents spaces to gather or retreat, while variations in massing and building forms create visual interest and frame views of the surrounding area. Inside, the design focuses on livability, with apartments that balance social spaces and private retreats. Hyde Square combines high-density living, thoughtful architecture, and a focus on outdoor space, making it a dynamic, rooted community for its residents.
