YEAR

SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
Garden House’s exaggerated eaves cantilever 10 feet on both sides of the house creating protected outdoor spaces below and two generous ceiling height bedrooms (and a 2nd bathroom) upstairs. Our client wanted to build a new 800 square foot dwelling in their backyard. The idea was to build a surprise…"a sculpture… an object in the landscape,” says Ben Waechter, Principal of Waechter Architecture. This new structure has the iconic silhouette form of a “house” yet is abstracted into a distilled and pure sculptural form. Support spaces for this ADU are made up of a stairway and half bath on the north side and a kitchen on the south, bookending the living room.
Waechter Architecture took Portland’s increased density movement and used it as an opportunity to explore housing iconography, sculptural forms, dual-purpose elements, and explore how to massage small space regulations in order to maximize useable space.
