By placing the new structure in the optimal location on the property, a new drought-friendly garden and seating paddock was carved out, creating a relaxed connection between the primary residence and the new dwelling.

Our client’s goal was to create a small, high-performance, healthy home for herself and her teenage son while providing a place for her father to age in place. An attached private accessory dwelling provides a space for him as well as flexibility in the future. The new home was designed to minimize its footprint on site, made smaller than the original 1930’s house. Embracing adaptability and efficiency, the residence includes two dwellings: a one-bedroom 795 square-foot accessory dwelling at the lower grade and a two-story 1330 square-foot primary dwelling located above. Involved in all aspects of project execution, our client oversaw the process by living in a used trailer parked in the backyard throughout the project’s construction. Family-Share focused on maximizing the footprint’s performance, access to natural light and the health of the occupants. Sustainable features include high-performance glazing, solar preheat for domestic and hot water in-floor heating and reclaimed fir car decking rainscreen siding.

Tucked away behind the primary residence is a tidy and well-lite Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) sporting a full bath and bedroom, and an open-floor-plan living space that leaves plenty of room for the corner kitchen and office nook. The unit features the same quality rift-sawn white oak and Marvin window collection as the main house, creating a homey and elegant small living space.

Photograhpy by Braden Gunem Project by Studio H:T principal in charge Brad Tomecek (now with Tomecek Studio Architecture). This project questions the need for excessive space and challenges occupants to be efficient. Two shipping containers saddlebag a taller common space that connects local rock outcroppings to the expansive mountain ridge views. The containers house sleeping and work functions while the center space provides entry, dining, living and a loft above. The loft deck invites easy camping as the platform bed rolls between interior and exterior. The project is planned to be off-the-grid using solar orientation, passive cooling, green roofs, pellet stove heating and photovoltaics to create electricity.

Although this garage could fit a vehicle, the primary goal was to use the space as a motorcycle and bike workshop. Hardscape flagstone patio, poured concrete pavers and gravel make up the driveway.
