Wedgewood Backyard Cottage & Second Floor Addition
With integral color heated concrete floors, advanced "smart" framing and rain screen siding, this 800sf backyard cottage (Detached ADU) is one of the first approved by Seattle to add density. 3 french doors open up to the backyard extending the living area. The open Living/Dining/Kitchen can adjust as needs change, from temporary home for family of 4 during main house construction to future mother-in-law unit. Qualifies for Built Green 4 stars. The clients have chickens and a pizza oven, reinforcing the idea of "YES IN MY BACKYARD"!
