residential architecture — multigenerational living — aging in place

seattle, WASHINGTON

A couple with small children wanted to integrate one of the grandmothers into their daily lives while ensuring a sense of independence. Their goal is to create a communal living, multigenerational household that fosters connection while respecting privacy.

The design prioritizes an age-in-place-friendly Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). A star-gazing deck is an essential feature for the grandmother, providing a tranquil retreat. The attached ADU includes two bedrooms and two baths. The building masses shift to create dynamic outdoor spaces, ensuring both residences have their own distinct yet connected environments. A generous shed roof enhances the ADU’s deck, elevating the quality of the outdoor space. The result is a home that will foster meaningful connections while accommodating the diverse needs of each family member.
