Northeast Portland ADU
Spring 2025 - Fall 2026
Portland, OR

Contractor: TaylorSmith Sustainable Construction

A detached, two-storey ADU in Northeast Portland built behind an existing 1920’s craftsman home.


The ADU utilizes a narrow, 13’-6” x 30’ footprint with a rear second floor cantilever, creating a covered outdoor patio.



The second floor living space, bedroom and bathroom are vaulted with skylights for an increased sense of ‘loftiness’ and generous natural light.
