CRITERIA RESPONSE:

CHANGING COMMUNITIES: Recent expansion of allowable Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADU) in Single Family Zones by the City of Seattle, a prefab green solution system was created for the changing economic conditions & leveraged for community property owners. Increasing suburban density inward rather than expanding outward is a sustainable solution. With various modular reconfigurations, an “Aging In Place” solution for parents & grandparents living solution is a possibility. Future income property options are possible too.

CHANGING ECONOMICS: Being lean & green is more important now than ever. Recycled cargo shipping containers from local Seattle Port & prefab green site delivered construction anchored via minimal pier supports is an economical & durable solution.

CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES: Energy crisis response utilizing recycled cargo containers, natural daylighting & ventilation, spray foam insulation at corrugated metal interior, SIPS interior walls, Daylight & motion sensors at LED lighting, Energy Star devices, Green interior materials & finishes, low water fixtures & rainwater reclamation system with a recycled roof garden decking system.

LASTING SOLUTIONS: Long lasting low maintenance exterior cargo containers with powder coated paint finish, durable exterior recycled decking systems, pre-finished concrete panel board systems, anodized aluminum storefront & garage door with insulated glazing, metal roofing & sustainable interior materials will insure long life cycle solutions. Furthermore, the containers are transportable & reusable on future sites.
