Once unlivable, this single-family home was cut in half to create a home and ADU.
A light-rail train passes across the street from the ADU.
Growing up, Amanda, 33, was interested in art and architecture while Melissa, 36, was more science- and math-oriented. Design marries those interests. Melissa, who studied math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, can’t resist describing the floorplan as a “process of subtraction and addition”: The house grows with the addition of 400 square feet of interior space and 570 square feet of semi-enclosed exterior space. Amanda, on the other hand, was more interested in vibe and temperature.
Up a stairway — designed as a place unto itself — and past a striking two-story plywood bookcase lined with art, books and personal mementos is the open living room and kitchen. The space is balanced by warm maple floors and exposed oriented strand board rafters, which serve as a counterpart to the plywood bookshelf below.Just off the kitchen is an expansive patio, complete with a barbecue and living and dining areas, that blends indoors and out, thanks to the custom Fleetwood slider.
