LAUREL ADU - COMPLETE

This is a 672SF Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and is located behind an existing 1928 in the Southeast Portland Buckman neighborhood.  The ADU is one story with one bedroom and one bathroom.  Entry is along the east side in to a great room with Living, Kitchen, and Dining spaces.   A small transition space allows access to the bedroom, bathroom, and laundry / utility room.  The bathroom has a separate steam shower and bathtub with views to the back yard of the ADU screened from neighbors by a perimeter fence and tall laurel shrub.

The exterior of the ADU utilizes an offset gable roof to create a large overhang on the front of the ADU creating a covered patio.  The overhang will take advantage of the southern orientation for shade in the summer months and light in the winter months as well as protection from rain.  The covered patio is accessed by a large 3-panel (center slide) door from the living room.  The roof also creates an overhang on the back of the ADU to create a covered dog run for rainy days.  The entry door along the east side is protected by a cantilevered overhang.
