Shepard-Nguyen DADU

Built to house grandma on a multi-generational property, Shepard-Nguyen DADU is an accessible 484 square foot home with an additional 176 square foot loft. The DADU was designed to be light, airy and open in order to create a welcoming and safe environment for the grandkids to play in and grandma to hide away to when needed. The clients have an excellent eye for interior design, so the home was completed to a sleek and modern finish.

Since the main occupant is grandma, the home was designed for aging-in-place with wide doorways, a curbless shower with handrails, lever style door handles, extra grabs for the pocket doors, and a seat at the entry.

In collaboration with Bolt Construction NW, TC Legend Homes helped design, permit, and frame this 1,950 square foot home on Orcas Island.

Clerestory windows reflect light deep into the interior and create wonderful sculptured light-gradients along those white, reflective walls. Designed to flow people and views out to the west and onto the western deck. The main living spaces balance high ceilings in the kitchen and dining areas and a lower, cozy ceiling in the living room/ tv area.

The 2nd floor main-master bedroom also engages with a westerly view, leaving you feeling like you’re in a tower. The second-master bedroom connects privately through the Jack-and-Jill bathrooms & shared closet.

A choice of main entrances allows this house to fit onto most lots.
