Crawford Studio

Located in West Eugene, Crawford Studio is a 644 SF ADU that celebrates quality over quantity. Built by the owner in the side yard of his existing home, this cozy little dwelling offers a smart, flexible approach to small-scale living. Once complete, the owner planned to move into the ADU and rent out the main house — voilà, a simple and sustainable housing strategy. Green features include FSC-certified lumber, fly-ash concrete, native and drought-tolerant landscaping, hydronic radiant heat, natural stack ventilation, solar domestic hot water, rainwater catchment, natural daylighting, energy-efficient fixtures, natural finishes, and increased insulation. Small, practical, and carefully considered, Crawford Studio is a sweet example of how an ADU can support everyday comfort with a lighter footprint.
