An important but often overlooked way to provide affordable housing and create communities diverse in age and income is the building of accessory dwelling units in single-family, residential neighborhoods. Known to most of us as the “mother-in-law” unit, accessory dwellings are housing units secondary to a main residence. This design in particular viewed the unit as a fragment to both the main house and the landscape. The idea of fragmenting was also implented inside the unit, as the main spaces can be seen as cloisters or pockets for gathering.
