We created Hatchback to increase housing options in Seattle while complementing the character of the neighborhoods we love. By generating the opportunity for supplemental income, we stabilize homeowners and create options for their future, which helps families and communities stay connected. We encourage and empower every owner to participate in the housing economy - using their backyard to positively shape equitable growth. Our work is driven by a team of committed designers, analysts, contractors, and advisors who share our belief in backyard cottages as an innovative housing solution.
