DESCRIPTION:

DBA planned, permitted, and collaborated with Hudson Handcrafted LLC to construct this 1000sf, 1-bedroom backyard accessory dwelling unit. The building is positioned between the existing home, backyard pool, and rear yard property line. A zoning variance was required and approved. Sited close to existing structures and property lines, the building is also located on a steep slope reconciling multiple levels and circulation paths. The site and planning constraints along with the integration of the existing exterior patios, walkways, and entrances made this structure a difficult technical challenge to design and build but has been considered a complete success by everyone involved.
