Cedar Cottage - Phelan DADU

BACKYARD COTTAGES — SEATTLE DADU — SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

This Cedar Cottage, the Phelan DADU was designed to respond to the site, tucked between evergreen trees. It has an extremely efficient footprint that provides well daylit living space, necessary storage, flexibility, and a covered outdoor living area.

The design limits shadow and visual impact for neighbors and is well under the height limit and the unit size maximum. The cottage is accessible with one-level living, flush entry thresholds and flooring transitions, a galley kitchen, and a generous central entry that connects the spaces. 

Cedar Cottage is one of CAST’s City of Seattle Pre-approved backyard cottage plans.

Square feet: 467
