The Big Small House

Class Description

The increasing cost of housing and the need for dwellings that include the low to mid-income population, including adults, young people and homeless, is a major concern in Seattle’s metropolitan area.  A few months ago, the City approved codes and regulations for facilitating the construction of attached dwelling units ADU, and detached dwelling units DADU.

In contrast to other workshops and lectures offered in Seattle and Portland, this course will be focused on how to design an ADU-DADU; the understanding of codes, regulations and the construction process. Classes will include: lectures, slide presentations, a workshop and guest lecturers.

Back to class safely – While we do hope to continue our in-person learning, please note that this learning experience may need to evolve to an online or hybrid learning platform based on the safety regulations and recommendations by the city and state.
