Nestled in a quaint, suburban neighborhood in Milton, WA overlooking a small pond and hillside views lies one of our most energy efficient designs to date. The homeowner asked us how we could design an energy efficient ADU in a small space in their back yard. We recommended using Structurally Insulated Panels due to their compactness and ability to provide a high level of insulation. This ADU will use a small fraction of the energy needed for a normal house of its size while being comfortable and healthier to live in.
Additional features include a “live edge bar” that connects the indoor space with the outdoors, which is important to making an ADU feel larger and more like a home. Also, a large sliding glass door with tall windows frame the building and provide views to the small pond and views beyond.
