Reinforcing the density needs of a growing city, this Case Study House investigates the viability of an independent accessory dwelling unit within a new residence. The design uses the flipped floor plan — living on top, sleeping below — on a limited urban lot of 4,300-sf in Seattle's Tangletown neighborhood, southeast of Green Lake Park. A central circulation core and a simple massing cube make for a tidy structure, while maximizing daylight and territorial views. Residents include a professional married couple — he an architect, she a Microsoft executive — their two young children and their grandmother (her mother)—three generations under one roof.
