Slabtown Four

Slabtown 4 is an ambitious four-unit residence that accomplishes many goals despite its tight city lot—space and accessibility for a multi-generational family, a modern aesthetic that still honors the neighborhood’s history, and a successful model for urban infill. The homeowners, a brother and sister with aging parents and families of their own, presented Scott Edwards Architecture with the challenge to design two single-family townhouse units and two accessory dwelling units (ADUs), each with outdoor spaces and parking, in Portland’s vibrant Northwest neighborhood. Three of the four units would be for family members, with the fourth as an office or to provide additional income as a rental.
