Small and Tudor-Style
A 1225-sq.-ft. detached ADU uses a sloping lot to its advantage, featuring a split-level entrance and vaulted ceilings.
This detached accessory dwelling unit design brings forward a model of urban density while providing a private home that shares a courtyard with two other households. The 1225-sq.-ft. modern Tudor-style cottage in a modified split-level design has three bedrooms, one-and-a half baths, flexible utility space, and creative storage.
To take advantage of the 25-ft. height limit and the yard sloping away from the sidewalk, the front door enters at the mid-level landing. Upstairs the design features a great room with vaulted ceilings and dark-wood beams, an open kitchen with bar seating, and lots of natural light from all four sides of the home.
