Reverse-Living Modern Home with ADU by Solaire Homebuilders

The young family we built this home for has timeless taste. They selected beautiful handmade tiles for all three bathrooms – each in a different color palette of blues and greens influenced by the natural beauty of Central Oregon surrounding this breathtaking home. The neutral and light wood, white accents and stacked bond subway tiles in the gourmet kitchen have a Modern Scandinavian influence.

With a compact footprint, generous living spaces and a permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), the main home includes 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and the ADU features a studio bedroom with a full bath, kitchen, and laundry. The flexibility an ADU offers makes this home perfect for multi-generational families, a live-in caregiver or optimizing income potential. The second garage bay has an RV door to accommodate a Sprinter van or camper. Additionally, solar panels have been installed on the flat roof have to offset 100% of annual electricity usage.

The stream-lined metal roof, a mix of siding types and gorgeous exposed wood posts and beams on the exterior make for an impressive curb appeal! This light-filled, super-efficient contemporary home will be the envy of the neighborhood. We’ve shown that contemporary homes can be built with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly materials and green building techniques.
