The Kunga ADU by Design+Build Salt Lake

{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[["strong"],["b"],["i"]],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[0],1,"Strategy"]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"ADUs were just approved in Salt Lake City in early 2019, and this project is one of the first in the city under this new ordinance. The goal is to design and build an ADU with ample space that is completely ADA accessible and within a very tight budget. According to the city\u0027s new guidelines, the project could be no larger than 650 square feet and no taller than 17 feet. In order to maximize the space within these regulations, an upper storage loft was designed to not only provide more space, but also to accommodate a more open feel for the connected living space below. The main area is visually connected to the yard and main home as this will be the residence for a member of the family who still wants connection with those living in the main home. This ADU is comprised of a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom, and upper loft storage area. This project allows the family to stay in the current home despite the growing need for space."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[1,0],2,"Resilience and Sustainability"]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Although a minimal budget project, every measure possible is being taken to provide as much sustainability, thermal comfort and resilience as possible within the project. Operable windows are abundant in each space, allowing natural ventilation to cross through the entire home. A south-facing front facade with large corner-wrapping windows provides natural daylight into the main living areas and into the upper storage loft. Metal sun blades block out the unwanted heat gain during the hot summer months, while still allowing to utilize winter solar heat gain to heat the space.
