Energy-Efficient Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) - IN Design PHASE

 
 

Stylish and Sustainable: Smart Living in a Small Space

This project centers on the design and construction of a highly energy-efficient Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), thoughtfully crafted to make the most of natural light throughout the day. Strategically oriented for maximum sun exposure, the unit features high-performance, European-style windows that enhance passive solar gain.

Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian minimalism, the design emphasizes clean lines, functional spaces, and a warm, modern aesthetic. Every element has been selected to strike the perfect balance between comfort, efficiency, and style resulting in a compact yet thoughtfully designed space that feels just right all year round.

Notable features include:

  • Radiant in-floor heating

  • Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system

  • Exterior continuous insulation

  • European style windows

  • A high-efficiency, modern stove

  • A luxurious steam shower
