Project Information

New York embraces a wide range of family structures and housing models, yet this ADU is conceived as a flexible dwelling for one to two residents at different stages of life. Its streamlined form reduces construction costs, thereby easing the financial burden on homeowners, while allowing adaptation to diverse rear yards. The proposed exterior cladding provides a wide palette of colors and finishes, enabling the ADU to express its own identity while maintaining harmony with the existing home. Supported by multiple vendors and systems, it offers affordability and choice, while carefully composed openings maximize natural light, ventilation, and energy efficiency.
