Current Projects

This 10,000 square foot lot will be transformed from a derelict commercial property into a sustainable 7-unit garden community.

The lot is zoned R2a which typically allows 5 units but we are able to stretch the density by achieving "amenity bonuses" through clever design.

The buildings will be modern, simple, efficient and warm. The grounds will foster an active and healthy community.

Sustainability, community and cost effectiveness are the guiding principles of the project.

ADUs

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are the mother-in-law apartment in your basement, a converted garage or a new guest house. They can provide extra rent, a place for your childcare provider or private space for guests.

Building ADUs is timely as the City of Portland waived all permit and SDC fees to promote building these structures. This waiver will not last forever but an official expiration has yet to be announced.

Urbansphere is knowledgeable on the specifications required of ADUs and the costs associated. We have progressive ideas for their use and a network of professionals to get your project done in an attractive, timely and cost effective manner.
