Laurelhurst DADU

This property is a steeply sloping lot in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle.  An existing three story home is situated at the upper portion of the lot and a detached garage is sitting at the bottom of the lot along the alley.  The owners of the property came to H2D with the goal to add a second story onto the existing garage to house a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU).  The yard would be regraded with a series of terraces allowing connection from the new second story DADU to the yard.  In addition, the terracing of the yard would create a more useable backyard for the kids to play and for easier access between the house and the garage.  The new DADU is designed as a one bedroom unit with open living space for kitchen, living and dining areas.
