Moonwave DADU

Some of the most exciting projects are those where the client has a clear vision and aesthetic, but is looking for a partner to help make it a reality. The final design was actually the second iteration of this project. Years prior, under different codes and rules, we had worked with Autumn (co-owner of Frankie and Jo's) to design a DADU within the strict constraints of Seattle's land use code. When the codes changed to allow a bigger structure, Autumn reached back out to make some changes. Working together, we explored a variety of roof forms, window shapes, and sizes, and the overall floor plan. The result is a sculptural form that celebrates its environment and provides an inspiring space for the owner's needs. All materials were selected by the owner.
