Eastlake DADU

Architect: Bruce Parker/microhouse

Contractor: Hansmire Builders

Square Footage: 800 SF

Construction Hard Costs: $350,000

Construction Completed: 2018

As Colette and Chris noticed houses in their neighborhood being replaced by rows of apartment buildings, they considered ways to preserve their own home and family history. That meant improving and maintaining the original house, and also creating a DADU to provide an income stream.

The site is very small and steeply sloping with the large family home and parking to maintain. As it true of most DADUs, along with great challenges come opportunities. The slope and alley access gave us the opportunity to achieve a split level home with a large master suite, an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a balcony off of the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a 2nd lofted bedroom.
