Backyard Home

ADU, Port Townsend, WA

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT

This ADU lets agile Grandma stay close to the family and frees up room in the main house for the grandchildren as they get bigger.

The roofline is designed to minimize impacts to the uphill neighbor’s view and support future solar photovoltaic installation. The stair is minimal (not a full egress stair), and the sleeping loft has a low 5’ headroom at the edges. The form of the building is simple, but open to future roof-additions to expand the small footprint into larger indoor-outdoor living.
