Southwest Portland ADU

Southwest Portland Accessory Dwelling Unit

This cottage ADU was built at the end of an existing driveway, with a new garage below. The ADU's forms, details, and materials harmonize with the existing house.

Placement of the cottage screens a new outdoor terrace from the house next door. The terrace connects the cottage to the main house and overlooks the street. At 350 sq. ft. the cottage has a bathroom, storage closet, kitchenette, gas fireplace, vaulted ceiling and loft.
