This backyard home was imagined as a flexible, self-sufficient space designed to serve a family across changing needs. With dedicated storage, in-unit laundry, and multiple entrances (including direct street access), it functions as an independent home today, with the potential to house an elder family member in the future.

Practicality was built in from the start. Storage and laundry were woven into the plan. The street-side entrance gives the unit autonomy, ready to welcome a tenant or a visiting relative without pulling them through the main home. The result is a space that earns its place on the property today, and is already prepared for whatever comes next.
