SDCI DADU
2018
300 s.f.

Our proposal for SDCI’s Pre-Approved Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) consists of a 300 s.f. pitched-roof structure with universally recognizable architectural qualities addressing the requirements for Small Footprint, Economy, and Energy Efficiency.

Our Helix plan is designed for aging parent or parents - or an elderly tenant. This option recognizes the value of a family-member’s need to have their own affordable place to age in place and that this should not be an expensive undertaking.

Our Flex plan addresses the need for an adaptable and future proof structure; an option that is a comfortable and efficient rental to a range of tenants in Seattle searching for more housing options.

Both alternates can be augmented for baseline energy efficiency or up to Passive House standards, with the added option of either economical or higher-end finishes.

This project was submitted as a collaborative effort between Wilkens Design Studio and Miovic Reinhardt Associates General Contractors.
