Economy ADU

Economy is the fifth in a series of design research projects to examine the Accessory Dwelling, a building type with a unique relationship to the socio-economic history and possible future of US housing. Here, we looked at the economy of the ADU and its production—economy in the broadest sense, both as a financial instrument and as the prudent marshalling of resources in their production. The investigation is an explicit attempt to expand upon the question of affordability by engaging the broader micro- and macro-level implications for a particular ADU design within the material and political economy of Houston, Texas.
