/in , /by

Brought to life by 2atara, this innovative 700 sq ft ADU proves size isn’t everything! With soaring ceilings and a cool loft featuring boat netting—secured with authentic knots—this space feels surprisingly open and nautical.

Built on a challenging sloping lot, the Peters ADU turns tight, unusable space into a cozy, functional retreat perfect for a boating enthusiast. Plus, eco-friendly touches like sustainable butcher block counters make it a budget-friendly beauty.

This week, 2atara design and construction began installing the stunning Luna wood decks at “The Grand House,” a custom Bainbridge Island residence designed for aging in place. Nestled among native trees with filtered views of Puget Sound, the decks offer a serene vantage point to take in the water through a veil of green.

Crafted from thermally modified ash, the Luna wood is chosen for its durability and graceful aging—echoing the home’s ethos of sustainability and timeless design.
