The House - Axonometric
Accessory Dwelling Units are defined by the Salt Lake City Planning’s Guide to Building an ADU as “a complete secondary residential unit that can be added to a single-family residential lot. ADUs can be attached to or part of the primary residence, be detached as a separate building in a backyard, or a garage conversion. An ADU provides completely separate living space including a kitchen, bathroom, and its own entryway.”
“The House” plays with the shape of a home we grow up drawing and modernizes it with the clean lines and material choices.

The Garage, a 450 square foot unit was built to accommodate smaller yards as well as smaller houses. The Salt Lake City Guide, again, dictates that the size of the ADU cannot exceed 50% of the footprint of the existing house.

Utilizing the built-in cabinetry again is the best way to make use of the small space. In addition, using convertible furniture allows those who stay to make the most of the space. These items include the murphy bed behind the sofa allowing the space to transition from day to night and a coffee table with a top that can extend to the height of a dining table for a place to have a meal.
