Peach Court is a project designed by Wittman Estes. New homeowners of a historic 1910 Craftsman-style home sought to transform their 2,491-square-foot house by updating it for contemporary living, while adding a rental facility to the property (ADU – Accessory Dwelling Unit). The owners, a young couple, often host gatherings and have an affinity for nature. Seattle, like many cities, faces a housing shortage. Most housing in neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill are single-family homes, built in a time with less need for density. As Seattle has grown, the city has been confronted with the dilemma of how to preserve the historic fabric of neighborhoods while continuing to adapt to allow for increased housing density.
