BYH Project: Bleriot

A part of the Backyard Homes Project ADU Prototype package, the ADU on Bleriot is available to use for all homeowners participating in the affordable ADU program.

Inspired by Sears catalogs and other prefab flat-packed home deliveries from the turn of the century, we gave homeowners a variety of flavors and interior and exterior style options to choose from regardless of unit type.

After the homeowner selects a unit type, they pick from 3 different styles (craftsman, spanish, moderne) for the interior and exterior which includes colors, finishes, features, and hardware specifications unique to the kit. This ADU is a 2-bedroom 2 bath prototype with a vivid color palette with an abstracted modern Spanish Style exterior.

The design features varied red and yellow tones in textured synthetic materials like linoleum and laminate to bring scale and durability to the affordable housing unit.
