Project Overview:
The owner of this project is a financial analyst turned realtor turned landlord, and the goal was to increase rental income on one of his properties as effectively as possible. The design was developed to minimize construction costs, minimize City of Portland building compliance costs and restrictions, and to avoid a county tax assessment increase based on site improvements.
The owner started with a large backyard at one of his properties, had a custom tiny home built as “personal property”, then added two ancillary sheds each under a 200SF compliance threshold to increase the habitable floor plan. Compliant navigation of laws and code ended up with an out-of-the-box design that only needed mechanical permitting and inspections by the city, but no building permits that would trigger a county value re-assessment. The owner’s final construction costs were $50k less than a standard ADU, rental income almost doubled for the property, and there was no resultant tax increase.

When we first assessed the property on Southridge Cres. in Langley, we learned that the previous owners had renovated the space and left a lot of small mistakes behind. Aside from the challenge of repairing the mistakes from the previous renovation, the client was looking for a bigger space for their growing family... their third baby was on the way! Some of the renovations to this space included:
Addition of an extra bedroom
Expansion of master bedroom and ensuite bathroom
Craftsman style millwork throughout the home with modern flare and a classic finish
Added reclaimed wood Barn Door feature
Radiant heated floors
Grand elongated fireplace in master bedroom

This is a very large property with mature plantings. We have been working
with this client since 2015. Some areas have required only maintenance to
keep plants below the window level and off the house. Other areas,
especially in the front of the house and an island bed in the driveway were
very empty. My client likes lots of color and has over 30 planters which we
fill with a combination of annuals and perennials. Those in the front of
the house prefer some shade while those on the deck thrive in full sun.
Mid-way through the summer I walk the property with the client and we assess
what plantings have done well and what we want to do differently the
following year.
