Greenwood Backyard Cottage

We converted this 1950s garage into a wonderful DADU in Greenwood.  It is a flexible space with universal design ready features.  The bathroom can be adapted for someone with limited mobility and includes a low threshold shower, plenty of space to move in and a wide door.  The kitchen features an open flexible space too.  Indoor air quality is also important in this project–we installed a spot ERV to deliver fresh air, and minimized materials that off gas.

What people are saying about live-work-play

Jane and I had an excellent experience working with Sheri who helped us conceptualize our wishes into a thoughtful, creative design and worked with contractors to make that design real.  Sheri is a listener.  In our first meeting she asked for us to name the qualities we foremost wanted in a backyard cottage.  All of them were met in the design and the end result.  She solved complex problems, she was direct and confident and friendly with contractors, took good notes and always followed through.  We love the results.
