Accessory structure / studio
Accessory Structure in Portland, Oregon
A Portland backyard studio and flexible rental space modified with a second entrance and lock-off bedroom.
What mattered on this project
The owner needed a backyard studio that could work during the day while still supporting other uses. A modified Model C created the right separation.
The second entrance and lock-off bedroom made the accessory structure more flexible than a single-purpose office.
Project highlights
- Created a daytime workspace for a creator.
- Preserved flexibility for guest or rental use.
- Modified circulation so the bedroom could lock off from the rest of the home.
