Ballard DADU

This REX award winning Ballard Backyard Cottage is for the homeowner’s father –the dad pad. We’ve incorporated many universal design features in this energy efficient garage conversion/ addition, plus we’ve focused on day-lighting and privacy. This remodel combines contemporary design with traditional elements to blend in with the adjacent original 1920s home. Contractor: Model Remodel.

What people are saying about live-work-play

Sheri led two projects for us—a nearly complete renovation of our house in 2016, and a renovation of our master bathroom in 2018. In each project, she came to the table with unbelievably creative concepts that we loved. Without fail, she delivered ideas and plans on time and under budget. She helped us in all aspects of the construction, from inception to final walk-through. The construction process can be confusing; Sheri was able to explain the inevitable challenges when they arose, and was able to offer valuable advice to overcome them. It was a pleasure to work with her. We cannot imagine a better partner in a renovation or construction project, and recommend her highly. She is amazing; you won’t be sorry.
